Do you want to belong to the elite in the field of Personal Training in combination with healthcare? Then the Personal Trainer Medical Exercise Specialist at level 5 EREPS is for you. This course is around the world and given in more than 80 countries.

Do you also see the growth and the demand for more customization, being an extension for general practitioners, physical therapists, and others in healthcare as an important part of your field? Then read on!
The numbers do not lie:
→ The Netherlands will have over 7.3 million people aged 50 and over in 2025.
→ Of which 3.76 million are aged 65 and over.
→ And almost 900,000 people are 80 years or older.
Ask yourself the following as an entrepreneur:
If there are increasingly more people aged 50 and over than people with a sports subscription in the Netherlands... why do I see them so little in my company or Personal Trainer studio?
The answer is painfully simple:
❌ Not because they don't want to.
✅ But because they don't recognize themselves anywhere.
And yet, many clubs still build their entire positioning around the 25-45 age group with progress photos, fast videos, before and afters, high-intensity training sessions...
While the 50-plusser is stable. Loyal. Financially resilient. And looking.
What does this target group look for?
✔️ A place where they feel welcome and safe
✔️ Tailored guidance, not too much hassle
✔️ People their own age
✔️ Social contact, at least as important as the exercise itself
So if we want to reach (and retain) these people, we need to rethink our communication and education:
→ The visual language must be different.
→ The behavior of entrepreneurs and Personal Trainers must be different.
So the question is not whether you should do something with this target group.
The question is: what are you doing about it today?
Are you, as a fitness entrepreneur, actively working on attracting people aged 50 and over?
The Personal Trainer ACE course at level 5 EREPS is scientifically substantiated, focused on disease profiles and thus also the elderly, allowing you to become one of the most highly and best-trained Personal Trainers in the country.
