Health coaches help people achieve their health and fitness goals by counseling, motivating, and working with them. Whether it's adopting a healthier lifestyle or achieving ambitious fitness goals, health coaches can help. Two of their main tools are nutrition and exercise.
When you hire a health coach, he/she or she may start by talking about your life and habits. They identify what your goals are and why you might not be meeting them. They also strive to understand what you might have done in the past and how it turned out. Health coaches often take on the role of personal trainer, even though the two careers require different certifications.
You can become a health coach by completing the ACE Health Coach Certification course. This will include reviewing the course material, passing the final exam, and getting licensed.
