Whether You’re New to Teaching or Ready to Recertify, This Course Was Built for You!

A Certification That Supports First-Time Instructors and Recertifying Professionals

Some people find Coydog Fitness because they’ve always wanted to teach - they love movement, enjoy helping others, and are curious about becoming a group fitness or barre instructor. Others find us because they’re already certified.

They’re personal trainers, group fitness instructors, or hybrid coaches who suddenly realize their recertification deadline is coming up - and they need continuing education credits that are legitimate, affordable, and actually useful.

We built our course for both of those people, because we’ve been both.

For Those Who’ve Always Wanted to Teach If you’ve ever thought:

“I’d love to teach, but I don’t know where to start.”
“I enjoy movement, but I’m not sure I’m qualified.”
“I don’t want a certification that feels intimidating or gatekept.”

You’re not alone.

Our online barre and group fitness instructor training was designed to teach you how to think like an instructor, not just how to perform exercises.

You’ll learn:

How to structure a class from start to finish
How to cue clearly and confidently
How to offer modifications and progressions
How to teach safely, accessibly, and intentionally

You don’t need years of experience or a performance background. The course meets you where you are and builds skills step by step, with real-world teaching context woven throughout.

For Certified Instructors Who Need to Recertify

If you’re already a personal trainer or group fitness instructor, recertification can feel frustrating. Many instructors tell us they’ve experienced:

Expensive CEUs that add up quickly
Short workshops that don’t stick
Content that feels repetitive or disconnected from real teaching
Hidden fees or upsells just to reach the required credit total

We built our course based on our own experience navigating recertification — and wanting something better.

Our program supports:

NASM 1.9 recertification (group fitness & personal training)
AFAA 1.9 recertification
ACE 2.0 recertification All in one course. One price. No surprises.

All Your CEUs, In One Affordable Program At $250 total, our course allows instructors to:

Earn required continuing education credits in one place
Recertify without financial stress
Learn material that actually improves teaching quality
Apply what they learn immediately in classes or sessions

There are:

No upsells
No locked “advanced” levels
No additional fees hiding at checkout
If it’s something we believe instructors should know, it’s included.

Whether you’re new to teaching or highly experienced, the focus of the course is the same: practical application.

The program includes:

Video lessons and written education
Self-practice prompts and quizzes
Real-world teaching examples
A custom exercise library with regressions and progressions

This makes it easier to:

Retain information

All of those paths are valid.
