Our FierceFormer® and FierceMovement® methodology have been intentionally developed in conjunction so that our workout is low-impact on your joints but high-intensity on your muscles. Because of this, as a Fierce45 Coach, we will teach you to be muscle-engagement focused, alignment savvy, and FierceMovement-trained to the fullest. Upon successful completion of your training, you will have a plethora of resources and support to create your own class playlists and lead clients through a 45-minute, full-body, small group, high-intensity Pilates class that follows our specific format and is Hard. Every. Time.
As a Fierce Coach you will create an authentic connection by engaging positively with each client before and after class, as well as supporting and encouraging them throughout the entirety of their workout. You will embolden each client to reach their personal best and feel their most successful by offering adjustments, up-levels, motivation, and praise. You will prioritize community by sharing your intention, encouraging clients to do the same, and celebrating both Fierce and personal milestones.
We also encourage you to bring your personality to your coaching, be yourself, and have fun with it! Ultimately, our community is so successful because each person feels comfortable to walk into the studio as exactly who they are. Your role as a face of Fierce45 is to recognize that each class is an opportunity to turn someone’s day around.
