CrossFit offers two levels of trainer certification: Level 1and Level 2. In between we have a Coaches Prep Course.

Level 1 Certification: Fundamentals

The Level 1 Certification is an Introductory course on CrossFit's methods, concepts, and movements. On completing a Level 1 CrossFit certification, attendees will have the resources and a sufficient foundation from where they can continue independent and successful development as a CrossFit trainer or athlete.

Level 1 Certifications may be repeated as needed or desired at a reduced cost for each seminar. There is no prerequisite for the Level 1 Certification.

CrossFit Coaches Prep Seminar

The Coaches Prep Course is an intermediate level seminar, building on the concepts and movements introduced at the Level I Trainer Certificate Course. This course is ideally suited for trainers considering/preparing for the Level II Coaches Certification, emerging Affiliates, and anyone serious about developing quality in coaching techniques. Attendees will enhance their understanding of the CrossFit methodology, program design & implementation, and advance their training skills.

Come prepared to be heavily engaged. Peers and instructors will provide coaching, evaluation, and feedback as you actively participate in lectures and interact in small group work.

• Training and performing the 9 Movements: a closer look at effectively articulating the basic movements: the why behind the mechanics, progressions, and points of performance.
• Essentials of a Good Trainer: creating a personal awareness. Where are your weaknesses? More importantly, providing a tangible means for improvement. Critical discussion on the benefits and distractions of various coaching manners or styles.
• Fault Identification: seeing what is going on as a whole picture, organizing corrective action, proper cueing, and feedback. Peer evaluation and instructor feedback will be utilized.
• Level 2 Certification Preparation: enhance your opportunity for first time success.
• Effective Programming: design, scaling, quality, evaluating.
• Class/Session Management: ideas, tips, and concrete examples on running an efficient AND effective group workout from start through finish.
• Creating a Culture of Success: tools & techniques for setting the bar high for clients while optimizing cohesion and enthusiasm in your gym.

Prerequisites: You MUST have completed the Level 1 Course and have received either a Certificate or a Certificate of Attendance.

Level 2 Certification: Virtuosity

Our Level 2 Certifications are designed for those who are interested in advancing their training skills by demonstrating, and being evaluated on, their ability to teach CrossFit concepts and movements to others. The Level 2 Certification is a performance test. You will be tested and evaluated on your ability to teach CrossFit's 9 Foundational Movements to a small group of students of multiple levels.

Prerequisites: To attend a Level 2 Certification you MUST have completed the Level 1 course. If it has been over a year since your last Level 1 CrossFit Certification we highly recommend attending another before coming out for the Level 2. Attending a Level 1 Cert multiple times as a participant can also be useful in preparing for this course. We also recommend training people in CrossFit movements and concepts for at least 6 months before registering for this course.

Level 2 Certifications may be repeated as needed or desired. This is a rigorous course and many attendees will be asked to return to Level 2 seminars multiple times before passing.

Cost

The cost of certification seminars progressively decreases, regardless of level.

Your first Level 1 Certification attendance is $1000, your second is $500, and subsequent ones are $250.

The cost of Level 2 Certification is the same as Level 1. Your first Level 2 attendance is $1000, your second is $500, and subsequent ones are $250. If you do not pass the Level 2 Certification exam you can come back and try again free of charge.

Please note that we will no longer be able to accommodate refunds or transfers. Please register for a certification only if you are sure you will be able to attend on that date and at that location.
