The Functional Aging Specialist is the Credential of Choice for the Personal Trainer Specializing in Fitness for Older Adults.
We think training older clients is the most challenging, interesting and satisfying opportunity for any fitness professional. In fact, we love it so much that is ALL we do. We are the world-class leaders in training older adults and our unique, evidence-based approach to exercise can help you improve functional outcomes with all of your mature clients.
Nobody does functional training for older adults better than FAI. The core of the FAI approach is the Functional Aging Training Model (FATM) which is built around the widely recognized theory of function called the Modified Disablement Model (used by the World Health Organization). We add to this the latest scientific evidence and our 20+ years of experience with adults of all abilities to create a safe and effective training methodology.
