Things to know before purchasing the course

The Level 1 and Level 2 Certifications certify you for in-person group classes only. Only 1-2-1 sessions can be done online or in-person.

The Level 1 Certification is a 1-year course which begins at the time of purchase. Please spend the first 6 months of your training studying the Level 1 Workout and the reading materials. Practice teaching the Level 1 Workout to two or more people at a time (a class) for a minimum of 20 hours. You will be offered assessments at 6 months, 9 months or 12 months. If you do not complete by 12 months you will need to repurchase the entire course.
