ONLINE COURSE AND WEBINAR

LEVEL 1 CROSSFIT TRAINER

  • 8 CEU

  • Online

Overview

The Online Level 1 provides an introductory education on the fundamental principles and movements of CrossFit from the comfort of home.

You will learn how to help others improve their fitness and health using the CrossFit methodology, and earn the credential necessary to work as a CrossFit coach.

There are two parts of the OL1:

  1. A self-paced online course that begins with lecture-based and interactive instruction on the fundamental principles and movements of CrossFit and ends with a 50-question multiple-choice test.
  2. A live webinar, where you will engage in a live Q&A with CrossFit’s top coaches as well as receive coaching through foundational movements in a small group setting.
