Alpha Fit Club (AFC) COACH PREREQUISITES:
Trainers at Alpha Fit Club should maintain an active personal training certification from a major certifying body. Trainers who hold an undergraduate or advanced degree in kinesiology, physical education, exercise science, or a similar comparable degree will also have the physiological expertise needed to deliver the exceptional AFC experience in class. Specialty certifications, such as pilates certifications, run coaching certifications, nutritions certifications, etc. are markers of fantastic qualities that will help build a more comprehensive, effective training environment at AFC, but they are not enough to replace one of the active personal training certifications listed above. All trainers will also need to hold an active CPR & AED certification any time they are on the schedule.
Apart from certifications, AFC trainers should be able to deliver a high-quality, consistent, energetic, community oriented, physically precise, and engaging class to all members who might walk through your door. The quality of someone’s social interactions and energy levels are just as important as their expertise about the body.
