ADVANCED TRAINING HELPS YOU LEAD WITH MORE PURPOSE PRESENCE AND CONFIDENCE
Why Advanced Training?
Initial Training teaches you what to do. Advanced Training transforms how you teach. Over two days you'll discover your strengths, refine your coaching skills and learn how to create more impactful fitness experiences. Through self-reflection, expert feedback and practical application, you'll gain the confidence to fill classes, build stronger connections and grow as a leader.
How it works:
Before your training begins, you’ll be allocated a track to focus on. This becomes your foundation for the course. Throughout the two days, you’ll present, reflect, develop and leave with a personalized Advanced Training Development Plan tailored to your growth. After the workshop, you can complete a Grade Review Assessment to receive detailed feedback and your Advanced Training level.
