The Music & Motion Studio has designed a course for everyone who teaches, has taught or wishes to teach group fitness classes in the rewarding area of older adults. Older adults can be anyone over 50 - they can be fit and active, frail and in a chair, or anywhere in the middle of those two.

This course has been designed to educate instructors on this area of group exercise and personal training. The content is based on sound scientific research involving exercises for increasing muscle strength, improving and maintaining bone density, improving cardiovascular health and encouraging increased balance, coordination and mobility. Strength training can help reduce signs and symptoms of many chronic diseases. Our aim is to give you a solid educational foundation in the area of older adults, as well as plenty of take home choreography.

The course has been divided into three parts. The Essentials is the foundation therefore all the fundamental knowledge required when working with this special population. It also includes cardio exercises such as warm ups, fun routines and games.

This one is currently available and the others will be available early 2024.

IN order to teach older adults classes in a gym or hall or any other scenario you ou must already be a qualified Group Fitness Instructor or Personal Trainer with older adults module.

If you are not an instructor or Personal Trainer you can still do this workshop for your own education purposes however this will not qualify you to teach group classes or train older adult clients one on one.

Includes comprehensive information with exercise guide, CECs and lots of take away ideas.
