Lifestyle & Weight Management Specialist Certification
100% Online Course – Comprehensive Training – Certification – Complete Career System – Ongoing Support
Get certified so you can help clients solve the emotional, behavioral and physical challenges
of enhancing their health and well-being.
Lifestyle coaching and weight management services are big business, and people just like you are needed now.
Through our step-by-step professional lifestyle and weight management training program, you will take control of your fitness, nutrition or coaching career, and help your clients achieve their weight loss or weight management goals using the latest proven strategies.
You will also learn about stress and its relationship to weight management. Stress has become a major influential factor in many of your client’s well-being and overall health. Stress can lead to many challenges including weight gain, higher cholesterol, and compromised immune function.
In many cases, your clients will greatly benefit from both personal training and lifestyle and weight management coaching. If an individual has more experience with exercise and lacks strategy or motivation for proper weight management, they may be a candidate for more weight management coaching, rather than fitness training, yet both can be offered.
With our lifestyle and weight management program, you will learn proven strategies to reduce and manage stress and promote a healthy, active lifestyle. You’ll also learn to teach lifestyle management programs to a wide range of clients.
Here’s the missing link with traditional fitness training programs and diets, and what you can do about it –
Medical science now understands the important role of diet in optimal health and disease prevention. Yet something is missing.
Obesity, overeating, pain because of body image, emotional challenges with food, digestive ailments, fatigue, and nutrition-linked metabolic disorders are with us more than ever. Clearly, our collective approach to nutritional health and happiness isn’t working. It’s time for a new way of seeing things. As a Lifestyle & Weight Management Specialist, you bridge the gap and make a difference.
The majority of clients hire a trainer or coach for help with lifestyle and weight management concerns. Earn this credential and show you have the needed high-level skills. You will quickly increase your job and career opportunities when you become a Lifestyle and Weight Management Specialist, and you will have the options of working with clients online or in-person.
