Concourse Athletic Club 1st in the country to receive 0.4 ACE CECs for Balance Walking Education Program.

Members of the Concourse Athletic Club hit the beautiful streets and sidewalks around the King and Queen Towers in Sandy Springs, Georgia with a brand new Balance Walking Fitness Program.   Concourse Athletic Club is the first fitness club in America to adopt this program using specially designed walking poles which will become part of their membership fitness programming. In fact, they will be the first to learn one more announcement (check back soon) as Terry Kennedy will be working directly with their Director of Group Exercise, Marianne Baker, and her amazing talent along side several Masters.

The Concourse Athletic Club’s executive team and personal trainers completed the course program to receive .4 ACE (American Council of Exercise) CECs to become Balance Walking Coaches.  The program consisted of curriculum materials, a 41 question test, a video review and business platform tools.

The training they experienced can be taught personally by a Master Balance Walking Coach or can be learned from an online study course. The program includes self instruction/study/practice/video included in the ACE training package. If using your poles does not feel natural, it is an indication that one or more technical Questions are in need of attention.

The Balance Walking Program can be tailored to any age or fitness level.  Balance Walking can be a wonderful start for weight loss clients, athletes, or someone who has never exercised before. The Atlanta Athletic Club is planning on using Balance Walking as a cross exercise for their water aerobic classes as well as an outreach program for the club.

With poles in hand and a little instruction from their Balance Walking Coaches at the Concourse Athletic Club, members will be walking towards better health and lifestyle!

We are bringing on new Masters to instruct the online or in person Education Program. Masters are compensated for the time required to help an applicant become a Coach or Walk Leader. All who are interested can contact your nearest Master listed at http://coaches.balancewalking.com or email Terry Kennedy
