That\u2019s exactly what you get with our FABS (Flexibility, Aerobic, Balance and Strength) Training Programme developed with the Centre for Healthy Ageing Research.<\/a><\/p>\n Here\u2019s what the training involves:<\/p>\n Once you qualify, you\u2019ll have the skills and confidence to lead safe, effective and enjoyable classes for older adults.<\/p>\n After qualifying, most instructors choose to join our\u00a0Move it or Lose it licence.

She needed a fresh start and a new direction.<\/p>\n With support from a career coach, she realised she wanted to help older people stay independent and uplifted through movement. When she found Move it or Lose it, she immediately felt at home.<\/p>\n Today, Kimberley works full time. She runs\u00a013 classes a week <\/strong>due to the high demand, <\/strong>has a loyal following, and earns\u00a0over \u00a34,500 a month. <\/strong> All while still doing the school run and enjoying time with her daughter.<\/p>\n She says:<\/p>\n \u201cThis is the best job I\u2019ve ever had. I love the freedom and the difference it makes.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Lance\u2019s journey shows that a powerful career change doesn\u2019t require starting again from zero \u2014 it simply means using the\u00a0skills and experiences\u00a0you already have in a new way.<\/p>\n After spending all of his working life in road transport and logistics, Lance had built decades of valuable\u00a0work experience: communication, people management, timekeeping, decision-making and confidence working with the public. Like many people in their 60s, he wasn\u2019t ready to retire, but he also wanted a role that better matched his values, lifestyle and energy.<\/p>\n When his wife spotted the advert for Move it or Lose it instructors, Lance realised it was exactly the type of opportunity he had been hoping to find in his own\u00a0long term job search\u00a0for something more fulfilling.<\/p>\n He didn\u2019t need a fitness background \u2014 he simply needed enthusiasm, empathy and the ability to encourage people. All of this came naturally through his\u00a0life experience<\/strong>.<\/p>\n During training, Lance quickly discovered that many of the qualities that made him good at his previous roles made him a brilliant instructor too.<\/p>\n Years of managing teams meant he could motivate a group. Years of navigating challenges on the road meant he had excellent\u00a0problem solving<\/strong>\u00a0skills.<\/p>\n Once qualified, Lance started teaching two classes while working shifts at his old job. He planned his timetable carefully, used flyers and Facebook posts to promote his classes, and spoke to people in the community \u2014 all skills he had gained throughout his career. His\u00a0work experience<\/strong>\u00a0didn\u2019t go to waste; it simply found a new purpose.<\/p>\n Word spread quickly. Soon he grew to six weekly classes, each tailored to different abilities. His class members felt understood, supported and inspired because Lance brought warmth, humour and genuine care \u2014 qualities only strengthened through\u00a0life experience<\/strong>.<\/p>\n He now describes his new role as \u201crewarding, fulfilling and the perfect way to transition into retirement at my own pace.\u201d His story is proof that you don\u2019t need a fitness background to succeed \u2014 you simply need the willingness to use the\u00a0skills and experiences\u00a0you\u2019ve already spent a lifetime building.<\/p>\n And that\u2019s the best\u00a0career advice\u00a0of all: the right career change doesn\u2019t replace your past; it builds on it.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re wondering\u00a0how to switch careers<\/strong>, it\u2019s easy to think you\u2019re too old, unqualified or unsure of where to begin.
