| NEW AT THE SCHOOL OF STRENGTH | JANUARY 10, 2019 |
| Ladies and Gentlemen,
We hope that you had a happy holiday season and New Year.
We get a lot of question from instructors about the best way to keep their skills sharp and have their technique vetted by a Master Instructor. As an SFG I or II, SFL or SFB, your credentials are valid for two years. One of the most productive ways to recertify is to attend another certification. Not only do you increase your coaching knowledge and marketability, but you also keep your existing status current. Many of our certification events let you recertify any or all modalities during the weekend, all rolled into the price of the new certification.
For example, the Dome of Strength is holding all four StrongFirst certifications under one roof in Chicago, IL from April 26-28, 2019. Attending as an SFG recert (or any of the others) costs $500. Instead, consider registering for SFG II, SFB or SFL—before January 11th to get the $400 discount. Your recertification, whether you recert one or three modalities, is included in the price. Read about Unified Recertification.
We’d also like to encourage anyone who is just one cert short of earning their StrongFirst Elite, our highest instructor designation outside of leadership (and a requirement for future consideration into leadership). Taking advantage of recerting while you earn your last instructor credentials makes sense. Especially since as an SF Elite, you extend the recertification requirement to three years.
And, as a reminder, we are adding a pull-up and pistol testing standard to the SFB effective November 1, 2019. While we're not suggesting that anyone shy away from a challenge, it could make sense for some to get it done before. You will then have two years to build up your skill and strength for your test. Check below for six scheduled SFB certifications.
More power to you! |
| Instructor Reciprocity Discount Program
Our focus is strength training because we believe strength is the master quality. For other important aspects to fitness, we partner with organizations to compliment our system.
In addition to our 10% discounts with our other partners (FMS, GFM, Flexible Steel) we are excited to offer our StrongFirst certified instructors a 10% reciprocity discount program with Original Strength. Any current SFG, SFB, or SFL qualifies for a 10% discount off their registration to the Original Strength Pressing RESET Workshop. Please contact Original Strength for more information.
More details about the 10% reciprocity discount program can be found in the Instructor Section of our SOP guide.
