Course Overview
Introducing our NEW Chair-Based Exercise Instructor Course — designed to transform the way you support and train clients with seated, low-impact exercise.
The UK's ageing population presents both challenges and opportunities for fitness professionals. It's reported, over 11 million people (18.6% of the population) are aged 65 and over, and by 2030, this number is projected to rise to nearly 13 million (22%).

Whether you're a newly qualified or seasoned fitness professional, recognizing the chair as a valuable piece of exercise equipment is essential. As the UK's demographic evolves, clients increasingly seek adaptations and regressions through chair-based exercises.
Elevate your expertise with this course and become a comfident and knowledgable chair-based exercise instrucor.
