If you’re a fitness trainer or a gym owner who is looking to certify yourself or your gym’s trainers to properly provide exercise for older adults, then Bev McCallum is the person to look to for fitness certification courses! With more than 18 years of fitness experience, Bev has been certifying the pros in locations like Fort St. John for the past 8 years so that they can inspire their own communities to become more active. With her well-known supportive and engaging style, she recently completed a Fitness for Older Adults course at the Pomeroy Sports Centre in Fort St John. Now there are even more certified trainers in the city who are certified to lead courses in their community!
During this course Bev trained students to better serve the older population in Fort St John’s gyms and fitness centres. The course covered topics including the aging process, changes in physiological systems, older adult common health challenges, guidelines and principles of physical activity, leadership, communication, program developement, and more. Students in this course had already taken their Fitness Knowledge certification course as well as either Group or Aquatic Fitness certifications. After four days of intense training in the Pomeroy Sports Centre, they were certified!
