“As a fitness professional with over a decade of experience, I found myself burned out and uninspired after the pandemic. The GGS-1 certification was a game-changer, reigniting my passion for the industry and giving me a clear direction in my career. Before, I was constantly hopping between gyms, teaching everything and training anyone who came through the door. But this certification helped me hone in on my true passion—working with women, specifically middle-aged women (or as my clients like to call it, "gracefully aging women").
Now, I run four small group training programs at a boutique gym, and for the first time, I feel completely in control of my career. I’m my own boss, and every day I get to train these amazing groups of women who inspire and motivate me just as much as I do for them. This certification gave me the tools, confidence, and clarity to create a business that is truly aligned with my values, and I couldn’t be more grateful.”

“The GGS Women’s Coaching Specialist Certification exceeded my expectations. I have been lifting for a decade now, but have had zero formal training. My husband, a fitness professional, always told me I would be a great trainer, but I felt intimidated! I decided to enroll in the GGS Women’s Coaching Specialist Certification for my own knowledge and to potentially turn it into a new career. The textbook is detailed and well organized but I loved the videos from the variety of professionals. The workbook was just what I needed to apply what I learned to real-life scenarios. I appreciated that the course was self-paced and am looking forward to continued learning with GGS.”

“I have found the certification textbook really straight forward and the modules are well organised and the videos to accompany really help delve deeper into hot topics. Having the Facebook group and community alongside this really adds to the course, as I have found previous courses you are very much doing in isolation, but great to know if you have more questions you have a tribe of experts to help guide you.”

“This has been my favorite certification I've done so far! I really felt it practiced what it preached in creating an easy, efficent, and impactful learning process. Having an online portal was so helpful when studying and reading the textbook. Between the textbook, the workbook, the online modules, and the downloadable pdfs, I felt it covered everything and set me up for success going forward. Everything was well-researched and up to date. The content was geared specifically for women but also covered such a wide range of information and case studies that I truly felt able to work with anyone afterward. I feel more empowered than ever to train and work with women to improve their health.”

“I recently completed the GGS Women’s Coaching Specialist Certification, and I can confidently say it has transformed my approach as a personal trainer. The course goes far beyond just theory, offering rich resources and practical templates that help put the theory into practice. Whether it’s nutrition planning, goal setting, client assessments, or programming, these tools have become essential in my practice, saving me time and allowing me to focus more on coaching.
One of the standout aspects of this certification is its focus on behavioural change. The course offers deep insights into how to effectively encourage lasting changes in clients. I particularly loved the example conversations given throughout the course. Often, as trainers, we have the knowledge and theory, but finding the right words in difficult or sensitive moments can be a challenge. The course equips you with real-life examples, making it easier to navigate those conversations. It’s helped me build stronger relationships with my clients, as I now feel more confident addressing a variety of topics.
Overall, I highly recommend the Women’s Coaching Specialist Certification to any personal trainer looking to deepen their knowledge and better serve their female clients. It’s practical, insightful, and truly transformative.”
Allison, thank you so much for sharing your experience, and that fantastic photo! It’s incredible to hear how the Women’s Coaching Specialist Certification has elevated your coaching practice with real-world tools and thoughtful, behavior-focused strategies.
We love knowing the practical templates and example conversations are helping you build deeper client connections and feel more confident in the moments that matter most. This is what confidence-building fitness and nutrition for women is all about.
