Offer the Best Female Fitness Training
The majority of Personal Clients are women and the majority of Group Fitness Participants are also women. So, it makes sense that as Fitness Professional you have a good understanding of how to train women and the differences between training men and training women.
Along with the general anatomical and physiological differences between men and women, chances are a large percentage of women you train will become pregnant or have recently been pregnant. When a woman is pregnant or post natal there are a wide array of potential risks so extra care needs to be taken. As a fitness professional, It is essential you know these risks and precautions so that you can appropriately train this clientele.
AUSactive (formerly known as Fitness Australia) recommends that a fitness professional DO NOT train any pregnant or post natal woman unless the professional has completed a CPD course on the topic. Along with that many insurance companies won’t cover a Personal Trainer to train a pregnant/post natal woman unless the Personal Trainer has completed a CPD course on the topic.
