The health and fitness industry is growing at a rate of 10% annually, making it one of the fastest-growing occupations. With increasingly more older adults turning to fitness to improve health, longevity, and quality of life as they age—now is the perfect time to earn both a Corrective Exercise Specialization and a Senior Fitness Specialization from the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM).
Specializing in Corrective Exercise with NASM can stretch your earning potential along with your clients' abilities to reduce the risk of injury—helping them move, feel, and live better. Becoming a Corrective Exercise Specialist will take your fitness career and ability to help your clients to new levels. During your Corrective exercise specialist certification training, you will learn how to assess clients in a whole new way. It will help you better identify their movement compensations, where they are weak or strong, and hone your ability to use that knowledge to design effective and efficient programs. This Corrective exercise certification course will take your ability to assess clients from generalized to specific, breaking assessments down into smaller, more in-depth pieces so you can identify different parts of the body in need of attention.
This NASM senior fitness certification course offers a comprehensive curriculum that covers the scope of practice and physical, psychological, and physiological considerations of aging. During this course, you will also dive into assessment strategies and program components for the older adult, program design, nutritional guidelines and considerations, and business development. This course prepares you to sit for the NASM Senior Fitness Specialist exam (SFS), giving you the knowledge and skills necessary to work in the health and fitness industry and make a difference in the lives of the aging population.
Upon completing this course bundle and successfully passing your exams, you will earn NASM Corrective Exercise Specialist and NASM Senior Fitness Specialist credentials.
