Older-adult fitness · SFIC · CCAA
Strong for real life.
Fitness for older adults should support the life you want to keep living - with strength, balance, mobility and confidence that carry into every day.
A specialized approach
More than a general fitness class.
Kelly’s older-adult fitness work is informed by the Canadian Centre for Activity and Aging’s Seniors’ Fitness Instructor Course (SFIC), an evidence-informed certification developed with Western University’s School of Kinesiology.
The focus is practical: help people move safely, stay capable and keep participating in the routines, hobbies and relationships that make life feel like their own.
What training can focus on
- Functional strength for stairs, carrying, standing and everyday tasks
- Balance, coordination and fall-prevention strategies
- Mobility and confidence through comfortable ranges of motion
- Bone and muscle health through appropriate resistance training
- Exercise adaptations for different abilities and comfort levels
Experience that matters
Support that meets people where they are.
Kelly’s background includes Level 1 and 2 Fitness for Older Adults training, experience facilitating VON’s Stand Up program, and one-on-one work with people living with Parkinson’s disease and people recovering from stroke.
Programs can be adapted for adults 55+ and for participants managing concerns such as arthritis, Parkinson’s disease or a history of falls.

What do you want to keep doing?
Walking farther. Gardening. Travelling. Getting up from the floor. Staying in your own home. Start with what matters and build strength around it.
