A CHEK Exercise Coach possesses the skills and knowledge to design and implement personalized exercise programs that incorporate traditional exercise with mind-body exercises. A key component that defines a CHEK Exercise Coach is the series of assessments used to identify core and autonomic nervous system dysfunctions. The CHEK Exercise Coach Certification will help you to accurately assess even the most complex client and lead you towards designing a scientifically sound program to achieve exceptional results.
CHEK Exercise Coaches stress excellent exercise technique and know that to produce the desired result, exercises must be performed correctly. They understand how energy-balancing exercises reduce total stress on the body and know when to use these types of exercises with different clients.
Train with the best in the world - C.H.E.K Faculty has been hand-picked and personally trained by Paul Chek. You will be learning from highly experienced, successful exercise specialists among the best in their fields.
Individualized attention - There is a maximum of 12 people per instructor in each course. This ensures you will receive personal attention and have plenty of opportunites for interaction with the Faculty.
Applied knowledge is power - The traditional quote says “Knowledge is power.” At the C.H.E.K Institute our philosophy is that if you cannot apply knowledge, it is virtually useless. This course is packed with hands-on tools and techniques that you can take away and use with your clients immediately.
5-day intensive course - If you are just interested in a 2-day workshop or a piece of paper, this certification program is not for you. However if you are truly interested in becoming a results-achieving exercise professional, then attend the CHEK Exercise Coach course. You will benefit from five intense days of lectures and practical training. NOTE: We are currently testing a 6-day format of the course, so you will see the course running for six days at some locations on the schedule.
When you complete the CHEK Exercise Coach course and become certified, you will reap the following benefits:
Be one of the top professionals in the exercise field - In today’s rapidly changing world, the people who stay ahead are those who are continually learning and expanding their skills. When you are a CHEK Exercise Coach, you will be able to advance ahead of your co-workers and competitors simply because of the results your clients achieve.
Achieve financial security - C.H.E.K students have successfully increased their fees 100% - 300% and are finding themselves with as many clients as they can handle! Wouldn’t you like to work less and earn more?
Gain advanced skills that make a meaningful difference in the lives of your clients - You will be able to design effective exercise programs for people who have had little success previously. You will know what kinds of exercise will produce the results they are seeking and help them implement balanced exercise into their lives. Success comes through helping others.
Be your own boss - Perhaps you have dreams of starting your own business and getting out of the traditional gym setting. C.H.E.K students often open their own studios within 3-6 months of taking their first certification.
Free website listing - All CHEK Exercise Coaches are listed on-line in the searchable database at the C.H.E.K Institute website. This is a free marketing resource! Potential clients in your area can find your contact details and read your bio. We refer everyone who calls the Institute seeking a C.H.E.K-trained professional to the database.
