Exercise for Chronic Diseases & Disabilities

Many Fitness Professionals are now working with clients who are living with chronic diseases or conditions but have received clearance from their physician to participate in a non-clinical exercise program. These clients often have very specific exercise goals and contraindications which must be factored into exercise program design.

Our program is based on the most recent research and the latest exercise recommendations from ACSM, NSCA and other national fitness associations. This two-day program consists of eight two-hour courses and is designed to prepare you to work with the client who has been evaluated by their physician and has been cleared to exercise in a non-clinical environment. You can take the entire weekend, or just choose the courses that fit your schedule and interests.

Each workshop is $29, or you can take the full program (eight workshops) for $199. Click here to find a program in your area.
