“Applying these materials to your programs should make a remarkable
improvement in the training outcomes.”

-- Wayne L. Westcott, Ph.D., CSCS

SrFit program materials

SrFitSecond Edition provides advanced training for certified personal trainers who wish to work successfully with Baby Boomers and beyond. There are many programs that currently train people to be senior fitness exercise leaders, but there are fewer training programs that build on the expertise of the personal trainer and that require a certification in personal training as a prerequisite. It seems reasonable to expect that anyone designing personalized fitness programs for seniors should be a certified personal trainer with extra training for the senior population. This will become even more important as the industry sets standards for personal training, and as the medical community and insurance companies begin to recognize personal trainers as a viable option for referring patients who need help with lifestyle change. This in depth course includes a 330 page manual, 60 page study guide, 2 1/2 hour DVD set featuring Wayne Westcott, a one hour audio CD featuring Tammy Petersen with her husband Mark, a geriatrician and examination and qualifies for up to 24 hours of CEU credit with major certifying organizations. Instructions for completing the online examination and obtaining CEU credit are also included.  MORE...

AAHF’s Move More, Eat Better—YOU Matter! is a "turnkey"  (comprehensive facilitator and student packages) lifestyle change course designed for the fitness/health professional to guide participants towards healthier living and in turn, a happier, longer and more productive life. Six classes that address the components of a healthy lifestyle are to be conducted in a classroom setting over a six-week period.

The "turnkey" starter package has all the information and materials needed to establish and teach this program plus 10 student packets (hardcover textbook and four booklets from the Mayo Clinic, workbook and a high quality pedometer). This turnkey package is $1500, plus $49 s/h ($1549). After purchase of the initial package (containing instructor materials) we supply student material packets for ongoing programs. These are sold in lots of five for $79 each plus $15 s/h ($410). 

Student packets without the Mayo Clinic book are available after purchase of the initial turnkey package. This design is to "loan"; the books to students and collect them back after the six week program. Packets without the book are $54 each plus $10 s/h for a pack of 10 ($550). MORE...

Every facility has different needs. We personalize our programs to fit your unique requirements. For a personal consultation on how to bring the Functionally Fit™ program to your location, please contact us.


Functionally Fit program materials

Functionally Fit™, through on-line trained Certified Nurse Aides (CNA), reaches the chronic long-term care and assisted living patient to provide daily functional training as an accepted and expected part of the daily care plan. It is also feasible to train family members in the Functionally Fit™ philosophy so that they can be involved in the process of keeping their loved one as independent as possible.  The CNA, or other front-line caregiver, is educated and then certified to provide this type of care. Society must change its view that long term care facilities are just warehouses where we store people until they die. Ideally, functional training, with a focus on strength, should be part of a person’s lifestyle at any age. But as people grow older and begin to lose muscle strength and mass, it becomes even more important to reverse, or at least slow, the effects of aging and to guarantee independence for the activities of daily living into old age. Along with the course manual, there are 29 sessions presented in an on-line program to facilitate the learning process. A color-coded DVD and poster set of the program to be used with the patient is also provided as an additional instructional guide for each resident’s room.    MORE...
