It’s the world’s only comprehensive, evidence-based, interdisciplinary Certification focused on coaching & training women over 40.
When you enroll you’ll get everything you need to help women thrive (including yourself!) during perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause.
Our Experts - This Cert was developed by 14 world-leading women’s health experts spanning 12 fields of study, including strength coaches, physiotherapists, a registered dietitian, PhDs, a licensed psychologist, behavior change experts, pelvic health specialists, an OB-GYN, a nurse, nutrition coaches, and more.
(In fact, the three female co-authors of the PN Certification helped develop this Cert making it the perfect complement to PN Level 1.)
We asked each expert to challenge one another's ideas and methods and help integrate the best available evidence and research with their professional experience so we could create the world’s-first and only truly interdisciplinary, evidence-based, practical coaching Certification.
In other words, the women behind this certification weren’t just “kind of involved” — they dedicated hundreds of hours of wisdom and passion to this project…
...and the result is a one-of-a-kind Certification that stands alone at the top of the industry.
Our Curriculum - This comprehensive Certification will help you master the art and science of menopausal coaching and psychology, anatomy and physiology, mental health and well-being, nutrition, exercise, sleep, rest, and recovery through an interdisciplinary, globally relevant lens.
You’ll learn to help women with issues related to hot flushes, weight gain, pelvic health, lack of energy & fatigue, hormone fluctuations, muscle loss, incontinence, exercise & nutrition modification, behavior change psychology, depression, mental health, anxiety, pelvic pain, osteoporosis, osteopenia, and so much more (all while staying within your scope of practice).
We package all this information in a beautifully designed, one-of-a-kind 500-page Menopause Coaching Specialist Certification Textbook you can keep and reference for years to come.
You’ll also get our 100+ page Menopause Coaching Specialist Certification Workbook with questions designed to highlight key takeaways and practice the application of what you’re learning in each chapter.
Plus, you’ll have lifetime access to our brand-new online learning platform complete with dozens of coaching and demonstration videos, movement screens, time-saving forms, workout templates, questionnaires, and assessment tools you can use with your clients immediately.
You’ll learn every aspect of successfully coaching and training menopausal women step-by-step, from start to finish — and you’ll develop the confidence and skills to troubleshoot any menopause issues your clients may have.
Our Evidence-Based Approach - No other Certification dives deep into menopause coaching and psychology, nutrition, female anatomy and physiology, rest, recovery, and exercise programming or was developed by 14 world-class female experts spanning 12 fields of study.
You’ll get all the latest menopause-specific research — including over 1000 references in our 500-page textbook!
And when we say our Certification is "evidence-based," it doesn't mean it's simply based on the research. It means that our experts review all the best available evidence and integrate it with their 400+ years of practical and clinical experience, while also considering client and patient values.
All references are listed at the end of each chapter so they’re super easy to find if you want to do further research, and even more references are included in our online learning platform materials.
Our Reputation - Our experts have worked with organizations like Johns Hopkins, Baylor Medical, University of Florida, and Precision Nutrition, and our Certification is recommended by industry leaders like Dr. John Berardi, Greg Nuckols, Dr. Krista Scott-Dixon, Dr. John Rusin, and renowned Olympic Sprint Coach Stu McMillan.
Organizations like NSCA, Perform Better, GoodLife Fitness, Kabuki Strength, and IDEA Fit trust our experts to educate their coaches and trainers on working with women.
Our Focus on Psychology - This Certification dives deep into women-specific behavior change psychology and the often-ignored topics that impact a menopausal woman's relationship with her body like:
Identity loss, mental health struggles, anxiety, depression, mood swings, brain fog, memory loss, lack of energy, sexual health, insomnia, irregular sleep, lack of confidence and self-doubt, and much more.
*Why this matters SO much for women*
Given that 67–75% of all people who hire a coach or trainer are women — and that symptoms of menopause can last up to 20 years — you have the unique opportunity to do something special for women…
In an industry where positive, menopause-specific health and fitness information is hard to come by, YOU can be a beacon of hope for women in menopause.
You can help them understand why their bodies are changing, help them navigate difficult menopause symptoms, and empower them to thrive during this time in their lives.
Because women deserve better.
That’s why GGS pulled together 14 trailblazing women from 12 fields of study to create a resource that will change the health & fitness industry for menopausal women forever.
GGS is the world leader in evidence-based, interdisciplinary, women-specific coaching & training education. We invite you to join us in our mission of raising the standard of coaching and care for menopausal women.
