Recertification Without the Stress: Affordable Continuing Education Credits Built for Real Instructors

We Built Recertification the Way We Wish It Existed

If you’re a personal trainer or group fitness instructor, recertification is probably not your favorite part of the job. It’s necessary - but often expensive, time-consuming, and disconnected from what actually makes you a better instructor. We’ve been there: juggling teaching schedules, clients, real life, and suddenly realizing a recert deadline is coming up fast.

That experience is exactly why we built our course the way we did.

Why We Made Recertification Affordable - On Purpose

Recertification shouldn’t feel like a financial penalty for staying in the industry.

When we created the Coydog Fitness course, one of our non-negotiables was keeping it affordable without watering it down. We didn’t want instructors to have to:

• Buy multiple CEUs from different providers
• Pay extra just to unlock required credits
• Stress about cost on top of already tight margins

At $250 total, our course supports:

• NASM 1.9 recertification
• AFAA 1.9 recertification
• ACE 2.0 recertification

We worked intentionally to secure the highest continuing education credits we could - so you can recertify in one place, in one course, without stacking fees.

Our goal was simple: save you money and time, while still giving you something useful.

High-Value Education, Not Busywork

We believe continuing education should respect your experience. That’s why our course is designed around learning and application, not jumping through hoops. To complete the course, you:

• Work through the material at your own pace
• Learn practical concepts you can actually use
• Pass a multiple-choice quiz at the end

That’s it. No video submissions. No performing for an evaluator. No proving you already know how to teach.

We want you to succeed - not stress.

If you don’t pass the quiz the first time, you can take it again. The goal is learning and understanding, not gatekeeping.

Built for Real Life (Because Life Happens)

You have as much time as you need to complete our course - you can do it in as few as 20 hours, or as long as you need.

You have 3 months of access to our Online Studio, included with course purchase. We also know that instructors are busy. Teaching schedules change. Clients reschedule. Life throws curveballs. If you need more time to access the Online Studio, all you have to do is email us. We’re happy to extend your access. No penalties. No awkward explanations. No pressure.

We built this course for people with real jobs, real responsibilities, and real lives - not for perfect timelines.

More Than CEC / CEU: Tools You Can Actually Use

While many instructors come to us for recertification, most leave with new tools they didn’t expect. The course focuses on:

• Smarter class structure
• Clearer cueing and communication
• Better flow and transitions
• Thoughtful modifications and progressions
• Functional, sustainable programming

Whether you teach strength, group fitness, barre, or hybrid formats, these skills translate directly to your work - in studios, online, or from home.

One Course. One Price. No Surprises.

We built Coydog Fitness because we wanted continuing education to feel:

• Respectful
• Practical
• Affordable
• Human!

If you’re a certified instructor or personal trainer who needs to recertify - and you want to do it without unnecessary stress, cost, or performative requirements - this course was built for you.

Learn what you need. Pass the quiz. Recertify. Move on with your life - better equipped than before.
