At the Rush Fitness Complex, all of our Fitness Coaches are certified through our own internal certification process. The Rush Fitness Fit-Coach curriculum was created utilizing fitness and performance training from many of the top organizations in the world including: NASM, ACE, NSCA, ACSM and others. Our goal was to create an educational platform that exposes our Fit-Coaches to MANY different types of information from any and all credible sources. The above mentioned educational agencies require between 62-70% on a written exam to become “certified.” This isn’t good enough for the Rush! We utilize both a written and “hands-on” exam that requires a minimum of 90% to pass! We are constantly striving for the most eager to learn, exciting, fun and fitness-dedicated people to help our members reach their goals, so we set the bar even higher to be able to coach at The Rush. Our Certification process includes:
