Become a SilverSneakers instructor
SilverSneakers group exercise classes offer an excellent opportunity for our members to stay on track toward their health and fitness goals. We rely on our participating partners to provide skilled and engaging instructors to teach our classes and help accomplish our mission to improve the health and well-being of SilverSneakers members.
Instructors who teach the SilverSneakers classes are employed by the participating locations, not by Healthways.
To become a SilverSneakers group exercise class instructor, one must:
- Be at least 18 years of age.
- Maintain current CPR certification.
- Hold a two or four year degree in health, exercise science, recreation or physical activity related field or maintain a nationally recognized certification (for example, ACE, AFAA, YMCA).
- Attend a SilverSneakers instructor training workshop for the specific SilverSneakers class one would like to teach.
- Commit to completing the SilverSneakers Muscular Strength & Range of Movement (our signature class) workshop within one year if teaching other SilverSneakers classes.
