The certification is designed to prepare coaches to work with athletes from diverse populations by providing lifetime access to course materials and updates, and it includes a partnership with FIBR, a leading U.S. fitness industry recruiting firm, to give every certified coach a dedicated resource for employment upon program completion.

The company plans to expand its portfolio with additional certifications and services for fitness professionals in the future.
