Learn from 20 trailblazing women from 12 fields of study

Molly Galbraith,

WOMAN-IN-CHARGE AT GIRLS GONE STRONG

CREATOR OF THE GGS ACADEMY

"When I first started in the fitness industry over 20 years ago...

There was very little women-specific coaching education available.

What was available was outdated, not evidence-based, or minimized the challenges that many women face throughout their health, fitness, and nutrition journeys.

Given that 67–75% of all people who hire a coach or trainer are women — that’s not OK.

Women deserve better.

So GGS pulled together 20 trailblazing women from 12 fields of study to create this industry-changing Certification.

After enrolling, you'll learn exactly how to empower women to be stronger, healthier, and more confident in their lives and bodies."

Dr. Krista Scott-Dixon, PhD

“As a developer of this Certification, I’m excited to be part of helping health and fitness professionals bring women’s coaching into the 21st century

With this truly
timely, progressive, and empowering approach.


The majority of people who hire a coach, trainer, or nutrition professional are women.


Yet to date, few coaching organizations have truly met women’s diverse needs — until now.”

Dr. Helen Kollias, PhD

FORMER DIRECTOR OF RESEARCH

AT PRECISION NUTRITION

TORONTO, CANADA

“We created this Certification to help any professional — of any discipline — who works with women.

You're going to walk away with knowledge and skills that change lives.

But this is more than just learning — you're going to practice applying it all.

Get ready to
start making a meaningful impact on the women you work with immediately."

Dr. Jessica Shepherd, OB-GYN

BAYLOR UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER

DALLAS, TEXAS, USA

“This Certification has set a new standard.

Not only for our industry — but for the
millions of women who will now have access to the care and support they deserve.

Even if you've been working with women for years, you'll gain a
deeper understanding of the physiological and psychological aspects of coaching and training women.

You'll know exactly how to give women the coaching care they deserve.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do I get when I join the pre-sale ?

When you join the free, no-obligation presale list, you get two very important things:

Early enrollment access — You'll get the opportunity to enroll before we open to the general public. Spots are limited and first-come, first-served — and we always sell out. Being on the presale list is your best chance at securing a spot.

Exclusive savings — By joining our free, no-obligation pre-sale list you’ll have the chance to save up to 40% off the general public price. This is the lowest price available to the public.

Joining is free and takes 30 seconds. All we need is your name and email address — no credit card, no commitment.

When does enrollment open?

Enrollment for our GGS Women's Coaching Specialist Certification opens twice a year, and spots are very limited.

When you enroll, you'll get a physical textbook and workbook shipped directly to your door — and once inventory sells out, it's gone.

When you join the pre-sale list, you'll be notified as soon as enrollment opens and you'll get access 48–72 hours before the general public, so this is your best chance at getting a spot.

Is there any obligation when I join the pre-sale?

None whatsoever. Joining the pre-sale list is completely free — no credit card, no commitment. All you need to provide is your name and email address.

That said, if you're genuinely interested in the Certification and enrollment is accessible to you — we highly recommend enrolling when you have the chance. Spots sell out fast, and we can never guarantee future pricing.

What if I join the pre-sale list but can't enroll during this round?

You'll automatically stay on the pre-sale list for the next enrollment — no need to rejoin.

One important thing to keep in mind: we can never guarantee future pricing. So if you're interested in the Certification and enrolling is accessible to you, we highly recommend enrolling now to lock in your pre-sale savings while you can.

Who is the Certification for?

This Certification is for any current or aspiring health and fitness professional who wants to confidently coach women at any stage of life.

Our students and grads include:

Personal trainers

Health & wellness coaches

Nutrition coaches & nutritionists

Group fitness instructors

Strength & conditioning coaches

Yoga & Pilates instructors

Physios & rehab professionals

Healthcare professionals

CrossFit & sport coaches

Massage therapists

Midwives & doulas

Life & business coaches

Fitness enthusiasts

And we have thousands of students & grads in over 125 countries worldwide.

Whether you want to get your first clients, level up your existing skills, set yourself apart in a crowded industry, or pursue a career change — this Certification will work for you.

Do I need any prerequisites or prior experience?

There are no prerequisites required other than a desire to help women. This Certification is designed for professionals at every level — whether you're just getting started or you've been coaching women for years.

If you're new to the field, you'll get the comprehensive foundation you need to start with confidence.

If you're experienced, you'll deepen your knowledge, fill in the gaps, and walk away with tools and frameworks you can use with clients immediately.

I've been coaching for years. Will I still learn something new?

Absolutely — and our most experienced students are often the ones most surprised by how much they gain.

This Certification goes deeper into women-specific physiology, psychology, and behavior change than any other program in the industry.

Topics like pelvic health, hormonal changes, disordered eating, and menopause coaching are rarely covered in foundational certifications — and almost never covered together, at this depth, by this caliber of women’s health experts.

Many of our grads with years of experience tell us this Certification completely changed how they coach women — and how confident they feel doing it.

How long does it take to complete this Certification?

This Certification is entirely self-paced — so there's no deadline to start or finish.

Most students aim to complete 1–2 chapters per week, which works out to about 3–5 hours per week. At that pace, you'll be a GGS Certified Women's Coaching Specialist in roughly 2–4 months.

And here's the best part: every chapter gives you tools you can start using with clients right away. So even before you graduate, your investment is already paying off.

How long does it take to receive my textbook after I enroll?

Your textbook and workbook ship for free, anywhere in the world, within 5–10 business days. Most people receive their materials sooner than that.

Typical shipping timelines:

United States: 4–7 business days
Canada: 5–7 business days
International: 1–3 weeks

You'll receive an email with a tracking number as soon as your package ships.

In the meantime, you'll have immediate access to your online learning platform — so you can get started right away, no waiting required.

Why should I become a GGS Certified Women's Coaching Specialist?

Because 67–75% of all people who hire a health, fitness, or nutrition professional are women — and most professionals still aren't trained to coach them well.

There's a massive gap between what women need and what most coaches are equipped to provide. This Certification closes that gap.

When you become a GGS Certified Women's Coaching Specialist, you'll be prepared to confidently help any woman — at any stage of life — who comes to you for support. That includes often-overlooked but critically important topics like:

Body image

Menopause & perimenopause

Menstrual cycle issues

Pelvic floor & pelvic health

Disordered eating

Emotional & restrictive eating

Endometriosis

Incontinence

Osteoporosis

Hormonal changes

PCOS & Hashimoto's

Digestive & gut health

...all within your scope of practice.

No other Certification brings together 20 trailblazing women's health experts from 12 fields of study — giving you the most complete, evidence-based women’s health education available anywhere.

The result: you become the go-to expert for women in your gym or community — and that's good for your clients and your business.

What will I be able to do once I'm certified?

Once you graduate, you'll be confident and qualified to:

Write safe and effective training programs for women at every stage of life
Coach women-specific nutrition habits and skills

Use women-specific behavior change psychology to help clients navigate real-world challenges

Have informed, supportive conversations about body image, diet culture, hormonal health, self-doubt, and more

Our grads have used this Certification to get their first clients, grow their existing practices, launch online courses, create new services, and build coaching businesses they love.

What does the Certification cover?

The Women's Coaching Specialist Certification is the world's only comprehensive, evidence-based, interdisciplinary Certification focused on coaching women.

You'll master the art and science of women-specific:

Anatomy & physiology

Coaching

Behavior change psychology

Mental health & well-being

Nutrition & supplementation

Exercise & programming

Rest, recovery, sleep & stress management

You'll get a 600-page textbook, a 100+ page workbook, and an online learning platform with coaching videos, movement screens, workout templates, client questionnaires, and assessment tools you can start using with clients right away.

For a detailed look at what's covered, download the Certification Overview PDF.

What makes this Certification different?

There are three main things that set our GGS Women’s Coaching Specialist Certification apart from every other Certification:

1. It's comprehensive. This is the only Certification that covers women-specific coaching, psychology, nutrition, exercise, anatomy & physiology, and programming all in one place — across every stage of a woman's life.

2. It's interdisciplinary. The curriculum was developed by 20 trailblazing women’s health experts from 12 fields of study — including PhDs, physiotherapists, a board-certified OB-GYN, Registered Dietitians, a licensed psychologist, and strength & conditioning coaches from the U.S., Canada, UK, Mexico, and Australia. And every chapter was written, reviewed, and edited by 6–10 of those experts.

3. It's evidence-based. With over 2,000 references in the 600-page textbook alone, the curriculum integrates the best available research with 400+ years of combined clinical and practical experience from our expert team.

No other Certification on the planet brings all three of these together — for women, at this level.

Will I Get CEUs/CECs?

Absolutely. Our GGS Women's Coaching Specialist Certification has been approved for continuing education credits by over a dozen global governing bodies, including:

ACE: 5.3 CECs

NASM / AFAA: 1.9 CEUs
ACSM: 39 CECs
AUSactive: 15 CPD points

canfitpro: 4 CECs

CIMSPA: 10 CPD points

CPTN: CPTN-14 CECs

ESSA: 15 CPD points

APTA - KY: 56 hrs - Cat1

NCSF: 7 CEUs

NESTA: 4 CEUs

NSCA: 2.0 CEUs – Cat C

State Board of PT - PA: 56 hours

Even if your organization isn't listed, we'll help you petition for approval. Our students have successfully gained CEUs from AFLCA, NFPT, AAPTE, ISSA, and many more. Just email us at
[email protected] and we'll walk you through it.

* AUSactive approves education delivered within the Scope of Practice for Registered Exercise Professionals and have allocated CECs accordingly. AUSactive does not recognize the title of Coach as referred to within this program.

** Per CIMSPA, students and graduates within the UK who plan to utilize this material in a professional setting must hold a prerequisite Certification set at Level 3 Personal Trainer or equivalent.

Is there really a 60-day money back guarantee?

Yes, absolutely. Try the Certification for 60 days. If you're not satisfied for any reason, return your materials within 60 days of enrollment and you'll receive a full refund — no hassle, no hard feelings.

With tens of thousands of happy students & grads in over 125 countries, we stand behind this Certification completely. If it's not right for you, we'll make it right.

What if I enroll and can't finish?

Life happens, and we get it. The Certification is entirely self-paced with no deadline to finish — so even if things get busy, you can always pick back up right where you left off.

And if, for any reason, you decide within the first 60 days that it's not for you, our money-back guarantee has you covered.

What are the exams like — and what if I don't pass?

Each of the 23 chapters ends with a 15-question exam consisting of multiple-choice and true/false questions. Exams are open-book, untimed, and available in your online learning platform whenever you're ready. Most students complete them in 15–20 minutes. There is no final exam.

You need a 73% or higher to pass — and our students average 90%.

You have three attempts for each exam. If you don't pass within three tries, a small fee unlocks additional attempts. You won't be left stuck — the GGS team is here to support you every step of the way.
