Online Course with Individual Support

Online Course +

While this is an online course you will have the ability to tailor how you apply what you learn to the specific areas where you teach/train. No generic, cookie cutter course here my friends! 

Individual Attention

We use a combination of an online platform with individual video conferencing so there is truly a personal experience. 

Industry Leading Content

We use the ACE Senior Fitness Manual in this course (you will need to purchase this directly from ACE - don't worry we will give you the link - $59.99 USD). We went this route instead of writing our own manual as we wanted to ensure that the manual was always up to date with the latest research and best practices. Who better to do that than an international organization with an entire academic team behind them?

The other amazing part? You can choose to purchase an old school paper manual or an e-book. We do everything we can to provide options for all learning styles.

Certification

About Your Instructor

M.Ed., B.Sc. (kinesiology), CPCC

Brenda Adams

Brenda earned a bachelor’s degree in kinesiology from Simon Fraser University, which means she spent four (okay, maybe six) years studying the human body and how it functions. She's also a Certified Professional Co-Active Coach (a life coach). And finally, she has her master’s degree in adult education.So her knowledge about the human body, combined with the tools she's acquired as a life coach, and her understanding of how adults learn best, are the reasons why she's the one to learn from.From the experience side of things, Brenda has been a fitness professional for over 23 years. In that time she has had the opportunity to work for provincial fitness organizations, to chair the National Fitness Leadership Alliance and to run one of the largest fitness centres in Canada. She has extensive experience in everything from group fitness classes, to older adults, yoga fitness and almost everything in-between!One of her greatest passions is teaching. She thrives on taking knowledge and making it easy for people to learn, understand and ultimately put into practice.
