What IMS Level 2 Makes Possible

For practitioners ready to elevate their confidence, their credibility, and the level of service they deliver.

Build greater confidence and certainty

There's a different level of confidence that comes when you know exactly what you're looking at. IMS Level 2 helps you assess with greater precision, make decisions with more certainty, and stop second-guessing your recommendations.

Raise your professional self-belief

As your skill deepens, so does the way you see yourself. IMS Level 2 helps you step forward with greater authority, stronger clinical presence, and the self-esteem that comes from knowing your work is operating at a much higher standard.

Deliver a truly premium service

This level gives you the tools to offer a far more bespoke and sophisticated service—one that stands apart from generic coaching and standard corrective exercise. That creates a stronger experience for clients and a stronger position for you in the market.

Attract higher-level clients

Greater precision allows you to work more effectively with clients who expect more—executives, professional athletes, high performers, and people deeply invested in their health and longevity. These clients are not looking for generic advice. They want expertise they can trust.

Increase your income through greater value

When your assessment process is more advanced and your programs are more individualized, your service becomes harder to compare and harder to replace. That gives you a stronger basis for charging more and building a more profitable practice.

Become the practitioner people remember

IMS Level 2 helps you deliver the kind of depth, clarity, and precision that clients talk about. It strengthens your reputation, increases referrals, and positions you as the practitioner people seek out when they want a higher standard of care.

Why go deeper?

IMS Level 1 gives you an exceptional foundation.
IMS Level 2 is where that foundation becomes a truly distinctive level of practice.

01

IMS Level 1 gives you clarity

After IMS Level 1, many practitioners already feel more capable than most of their peers. They can assess posture, identify key patterns, and build better corrective programs. For some, that alone is a major leap forward.

02

IMS Level 2 gives you certainty

The practitioners who continue to IMS Level 2 are usually looking for something more: greater precision, greater specificity, and a deeper level of confidence in their decision-making. They want to know exactly what they are seeing and exactly how to respond.

03

IMS Level 2 sets you apart

This is where your work begins to look very different from standard fitness coaching and standard corrective exercise. Your assessments become more refined, your prescriptions become more bespoke, and your service becomes much harder to compare.

04

The best practitioners keep developing

The practitioners who build the strongest reputations are rarely the ones who stop at the first level of competence. They keep refining, measuring, integrating, and deepening their skill until their work speaks for itself.

Where it takes you

IMS Level 2 opens the door to a deeper level of practice, a more premium client base, and far greater professional freedom.

01

Work in premium wellness and performance environments

IMS Level 2 prepares you to work in boutique studios, high-end wellness centers, and performance facilities where clients expect a higher level of assessment and individualized care. It also creates opportunities to work within sport—supporting both amateur and professional athletes with more precise assessment and bespoke programming.

02

Work alongside rehabilitation professionals

IMS Level 2 equips you to work alongside physiotherapists, chiropractors, osteopaths, and other rehabilitation professionals—particularly once clients have completed acute care and are ready to rebuild strength, stability, and movement quality through advanced corrective exercise and performance-focused programming.

03

Build your own CHEK-based practice

Many practitioners use IMS Level 2 as the foundation for creating their own premium practice—whether operating independently, within a wellness setting, or alongside other health professionals. It gives you a distinct service model centered on advanced assessment, bespoke programming, and a higher standard of client care.

04

Deliver a level of service few practitioners can match

IMS Level 2 delivers a depth of assessment and individualized programming that goes far beyond what is typically available in either the fitness industry or the medical rehabilitation field. Combined with Holistic Lifestyle Coaching, it allows you to work at a much deeper level—creating results that build trust, referrals, reputation, and long-term professional growth.

Early bird pricing available on select sessions.

IMS 2 brought everything we learnt in IMS 1 together. The infant development content and exercises for reprogramming a client's movement patterns made everything a lot clearer.

The week was a full hands-on learning experience with world class instructors. We were able to get through an enormous amount of information but it was done in a way that it didn't feel crammed. I started using it right away with clients when I returned.

Practitioner outcomes

This is what changes after IMS Level 2.

The professional advantages that come when you operate at a clinical level of precision.

Outcome 01

Charge more — confidently

When your assessment process is more advanced and your service is more individualized, your pricing becomes easier to justify. IMS Level 2 gives you the depth and the language to charge at a higher level without apology.

Outcome 02

Earn the respect of other health professionals

Operating at clinical-level precision changes how other practitioners see you. You become a practitioner they trust to refer clients to — which opens the door to referral relationships and multidisciplinary collaboration.

Outcome 03

Build a practice around the clients you want

Advanced assessment skills attract a different kind of client — one who takes their health seriously, values expertise, and is willing to invest accordingly. IMS Level 2 helps you build toward that client base deliberately.

Outcome 04

Work with greater confidence and less doubt

Precision removes uncertainty. When you know what you are measuring and why, you stop second-guessing your decisions. Your sessions become calmer, sharper, and more effective — for both you and your clients.

Outcome 05

Deliver results that build your reputation

Precise assessment leads to more targeted programming, which leads to better outcomes for clients. Better outcomes generate trust, testimonials, and referrals — the kind of reputation that builds a practice without relying on marketing.

Outcome 06

Operate at a level most practitioners never reach

The majority of coaches and trainers never develop beyond surface-level assessment. IMS Level 2 puts you in a much smaller group — practitioners who can assess, prescribe, and deliver at a standard that is genuinely hard to find.
