Certified Functional Strength Coach (CFSC) LEVEL 1 CERTIFICATION

The CFSC is a strength and conditioning qualification developed with one simple intention: to revolutionize S&C education in the fitness industry. The ability to truly coach an athlete, properly demonstrate exercises and modify programming in real-time is what sets apart great coaches in the field.Since the CFSC was born in 2013, the mission has been to raise the quality of professionals in the industry by delivering the best educational experience possible, and by requiring all coaches to pass both a written and live practical exam. The live exam is taken on site and led in small groups by our experienced instructors. This allows us to create a skilled network of coaches that can deliver great demonstrations, and provide clear and concise coaching cues. All this within a systematic approach to sound programming.

Our Level 1 course covers the fundamentals of personal and group training for the general population client. This includes mobility training, active warm-up, power development and strength training.
