Why We Built This Program

Coaching isn’t just about knowing the exercises on paper. It’s about presence, leadership, and being able to connect, communicate effectively and adapt in the moment. This is why we created the MOVE+breathe Coaching Certification. All coaches need practice, feedback, and mentorship to sharpen and master their coaching skills. This program is designed to give you the knowledge and experience to step into the gym and lead with confidence.

What you will learn:

• How to coach with confidence, clarity, and impact
• The essentials of anatomy and human movement patterns
• Smart program design that works for all fitness levels
• Progressions and regressions to effectively coach all levels
• Effective communication and cueing skills
• Strategies to manage groups and keep sessions flowing smoothly
• How to deliver a world-class client experience from day one
• Tools to build retention, community, and culture
• Confidence through live labs, peer feedback, and real-world coaching assessments

Led by John Busing, a former professional athlete with over 20 years of coaching experience in the fitness industry, this program combines high caliber expertise with a supportive, feedback-driven learning environment. Every session is designed to be practical, hands-on, and rooted in real-world coaching, so you don’t just understand the concepts, you can confidently apply them.

Our goal is for you to leave this training with more than just a certificate. You’ll graduate with a clear coaching voice, a proven system for success and delivering results, and the confidence to inspire clients, manage groups, and build community.
