TRAINING PROGRAM
$300 $150 excl. GST
Build skills to recognise and support Strength for Life participants.
Strength for Life is about far more than exercise alone. Classes often become important spaces of routine, confidence, social connection and stability for older adults navigating significant life and health challenges.
As Strength for Life instructors, you are not expected to fix complex health or life challenges. This module is designed to help you better understand what participants may be experiencing, while providing practical exercise adaptation, communication and participant support strategies that remain firmly within the Strength for Life instructor role.
This Bundle:
- Supporting People Experiencing Grief and Loss
- Professional Series — Helping People Experiencing Chronic Pain
Module content draws from current principles used across exercise physiology, physiotherapy, psychology and pain science, translated into practical approaches suitable for Strength for Life classes.
These modules will provide practical insights, language, and strategies that fit naturally within group exercise settings and align with your role as a Strength for Life instructor.
Modules are designed to help you build confidence in supporting some of the most common challenges experienced by older adults in Strength for Life classes, while also helping create welcoming and supportive environments that encourage ongoing participation and may help you attract new participants.
