ARORA certified personal trainers are experts in balance, strength training, flexibility, nutrition, rehabilitation and exercise modification.
CHANHASSEN, Minn., June 29, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — 60 is the new 40, and Life Time (NYSE: LTH ), the nation’s premier healthy lifestyle brand, is helping older adults turn back the clock — or at least realize that age is just a number.
“The list of benefits for moderate intensity exercise, especially resistance training, is absolutely staggering.”
ARORA is a community within Life Time designed for people who want to stay active, fit, healthy and social as they age. The key to this success is certified personal trainers with the background, knowledge and tools to support older adults. Now, Life Time’s new ARORA personal training certification program is empowering thousands of trainers to help older adults fully participate in life’s great adventures instead of just watching from the sidelines. Research shows that exercise can prevent age-related decline in muscle function.
“ARORA-certified personal trainers have extensive knowledge of common injuries, surgeries, medications and more – all to personalize the personal training experience,” he said. Renee Main, Senior Vice President of Healthy Aging Across the Lifespan. “Our goal for ARORA’s personal trainers is to give older adults the confidence they need to safely enjoy their favorite recreational sports and improve their overall well-being. People who are more connected to a community of friends are happier, healthier, and live longer.”
ARORA Certified Personal Trainers are:
-
Experienced: A minimum of four years experience as a certified personal trainer.
-
Specialized in: Corrective exercise specialty and experience applying these concepts with a healthy aging population.
-
Completed: Completed and passed initial ARORA certification courses and maintained all required annual updates.
ARORA certified personal trainers have a genuine passion for supporting older adults as they demonstrate empathy, listening skills and a fun and friendly demeanor.
“I train dozens of Life Time members, ages 55 to 80,” he said Joseph Angelina, an ARORA certified personal trainer. “It is so rewarding to see these adults gain stability and mobility and watch their overall strength improve. The smile on their faces when they complete an exercise or achieve a goal is priceless. It is extremely important for seniors to stay active to develop strength for daily activities.”
It is natural to lose muscle mass and strength as we age. But expert training and support can reverse these processes.
“The list of benefits of moderate-intensity exercise, especially resistance training, is absolutely amazing,” said Life Time personal trainer, nutrition coach and corrective exercise specialist Douglas Reinot. “Exercise improves bone density and connective tissue strength, increases range of motion and functional mobility, reduces aches and pains, improves mood, energy, and cognitive performance. A thoughtful, consistent exercise program improves quality of life, usually in many ways for everyone.”
