“The women's coaching certification has so much information on the practical, scientific level of coaching women, which I expected. What I did not expect (and should have, having been a follower of GGS for years) was the more sublte nature of what they would teach me. From psychology to intersectionality to goal setting to motivational interviewing and so much more, the soft skills I have (and will continue to) developed, it is turly a lesson in how to actually coach women.”
Discovering that the Certification would shape not just what you know, but how you coach, sounds like such a meaningful surprise, Brianne - thank you for putting that into words!
The Women's Coaching Specialist Certification intentionally goes beyond the science to explore the human side of coaching, and we love that topics like psychology, intersectionality, goal setting, and motivational interviewing have expanded the skills you bring to your clients.
That blend of practical knowledge and educational empowerment is at the heart of learning to truly "coach the woman in front of you."
We're grateful you've trusted GGS with your continued growth as a coach, especially after following our work for so many years!

“It's an excellent course. However I took the menopause specialist course first and this course seemed repetitive. It's was a good refresher for CEU's.”
Congratulations on earning your Women's Coaching Specialist Certification, Nadine! It's wonderful to hear you found the Certification excellent.
After completing the Menopause Coaching Specialist Certification first, it makes sense that some parts felt repetitive. The overlap between the two is intentional, as it’s content that must be included in both, like the muscles of the pelvic floor, lists of high-protein foods, etc.
It's great to hear it served as a useful refresher for your CEUs. Congratulations on adding another Certification, and thank you for continuing your learning with Girls Gone Strong!

“I had a very positive experience with Girls Gone Strong and their Coaching Certification program. The program was well organized, informative, and provided practical, evidence-based information that I can use moving forward. I especially appreciated the flexibility to complete the coursework at my own pace. It took me longer than expected because life got busy, but I was able to return to the program and successfully complete my certification without feeling rushed. I’m very happy with my experience and proud to have earned my Girls Gone Strong certification. I would definitely recommend the program to others interested in supporting women’s health, fitness, and well-being.”
Congratulations on becoming a GGS Certified Women's Coaching Specialist, Elizabeth! Taking the time you needed and coming back to finish when life calmed down shows real commitment.
The self-paced format was built for exactly that, so it's great to hear it let you complete the coursework without feeling rushed.
It's also good to know the practical, evidence-based material felt useful for your coaching going forward. You now have a strong foundation for helping the women you work with feel supported and understood.
Thank you for being part of the Girls Gone Strong community!

“The Girls Gone Strong Women’s Coaching Specialization is an incredibly informative and valuable course. It offers a wealth of evidence-based knowledge specifically focused on women’s health, fitness, training, and coaching needs.
One of the biggest strengths of this certification is how clearly it explains the physical, physiological, and biological differences that can influence women’s training, recovery, health, and overall well-being. It goes beyond generic fitness advice and helps coaches understand why an individualized approach matters—rather than assuming the same training methods or health considerations apply equally to everyone.
I especially appreciated the depth of information provided and how the course connects the science to practical coaching. It gave me a stronger foundation for supporting women through different goals, life stages, and individual circumstances with more confidence, understanding, and compassion.
I would highly recommend the Girls Gone Strong Women’s Coaching Specialization to any fitness professional who wants to expand their knowledge and become a more educated, well-rounded coach for women. It is a great course and absolutely worth taking.”
Crystal, we love that the Women's Coaching Specialist Certification helped you better understand the physical, physiological, and biological factors that can shape women's training, recovery, and overall health!
That deeper understanding makes it possible to move beyond generic fitness advice and "coach the woman in front of you" based on her goals, life stage, and individual circumstances. We're especially glad the science felt practical and gave you a stronger foundation to coach with more confidence, understanding, and compassion.
Thank you for recommending the Certification and for bringing this individualized approach to the women you support!
