HIRING THE RIGHT COACHESSo, you may have found the LARGEST location with the NEWEST equipment and have the BEST prices in town, BUT if you don’t have the best coaches your box will quickly gain a bad reputation and you will not last. Fitness is no longer a small, unknown sport and clients paying these higher membership fees have high expectations, and rightfully so. Not everyone who goes to the L1 Cert is ready to coach classes.

Think back to your Level 1 Cert and surely there were many people who couldn't do Fran as rx'd, or obviously had no business getting in front of a class and coaching others on the appropriate way to do functional movements. It is strongly encouraged that you to find people who know as much, or more about fitness than you do. Great coaches could earn as much as an athletic trainer salary.
