Course Overview

In this course, Christine takes you through key insights and considerations when working with teenage clients, to assist your delivery of 1-1 personal training or group sessions. Built on both current research and Christine’s direct experience teaching in public schools and working in the fitness industry, you will learn about tailoring effective communication and session strategies with teenagers, and practical ideas to include in one-on-one PT or group sessions. The course will prove a great addition to your skills as a personal trainer or fitness instructor. In her own words, “Working with teenagers is fun – interesting – but fun!”

This course is designed for fitness coaches and personal trainers working one on one and with small groups of teens (12-17 years olds) in a gym or group fitness environment.
