Why do certified personal trainers need to obtain various certifications?

Different certifications cover various aspects of fitness, such as exercise science, nutrition, and specialized training techniques. This diverse knowledge allows trainers to create more effective and personalized fitness programs for clients, catering to their unique needs and goals.

As a certified Women’s Trainer and Coach my main focus is and will continue to be working with women through all phases of life to help them maintain the best quality of life. With that being said over a year ago Gavin, my 10 year old son, really got serious about his training as an ice hockey goalie. The more I worked with him the more it became apparent that the approach of training a young athlete is extremely unique for a variety of reasons.

This prompted me to work on a certification that would better equip me to give him what he needs. So now a year later I am pleased to announce that I have completed my Youth Fitness Trainer certification.

The Bone Health and Osteoporosis Foundation reports that up to 50% of women and 25% of men aged 50+ will break a bone due to osteoporosis. It’s hugely important to build the best skeletons we can in the first 30 years of our lives and then try to maintain bone mass as we age. But how?
