1000+ hours of real coaching.
1000+
Practical coaching hours required to graduate
You do not graduate on a timeline — you graduate when you are ready. Your 1000 hours of real client coaching can be completed while working at a gym, training clients independently, or freelancing. Theory alone produces nothing. We want trainers who can actually coach — and that only comes from doing.
Ways to complete hours: At a gym or fitness facility • Freelance / independent clients • Under academy supervision
