To become a Fit4mom Certified Instructor there are 2 parts to your certification process. Once you have completed Part 1 and Part 2, and passed your final assessments, you are qualified to teach at any of the 255 Fit4mom locations nationwide, and you'll automatically be eligible to be hired at Fit4mom South Orange County.
Part One - Online

- This course will provide you with a solid understanding and practical knowledge to train the female client, both physically and mentally, alongside learning what it takes to be a great FIT4MOM Instructor.
- Fit4mom format of your choice (scroll down to see all formats) - about 8-16 hours depending on the format. $99-299
Part Two - In-person
- In-person team-teaching with your local Fit4mom Franchise. Hours vary. Included free with your Fit4mom Online Format purchase.
- You will be paired with a current instructor on the schedule to coordinate a plan before your first day team-teaching.
- You first class:
- Lead warm-up and receive feed forward from the instructor and/or your trainer.
- Together with your trainer, you will make a plan for your next team teaching. You may teach only the warm-up again, or add the first station as well.
- 2nd class example: Warm-up and 1st station
- 3rd class example: 1st station, core & restore, and cool down
- 4th class example, and so on: Warm-up, 1st and 2nd station
- The number of team-teaching classes will vary with each student, depending on comfort level, schedule availability, and your trainer's assessment. You will gradually work up to teaching full classes on your own.
- Your final class:
- Your trainer will determine when you are ready for your final, full class. You may have already taught one or more full classes yourself, but your final full class of certification will be your final exam. Your trainer will not set this final exam until she has determined you are ready to pass. If you pass, you will have completed your Fit4mom Instructor Certification. Congrats!!
- Adult & Infant CPR Certification: once you have completed your certification, send the certificate to your trainer. Make sure you registered for the correct class including an in-person portion thru the American Red Cross.
