Strength & Conditioning videos – done with minimal equipment & in a reasonable space to do from home. Instructional videos – breaking down individual exercises to aid understanding.
ONGOING BUSINESS SUPPORT
We know from experience that ongoing improvement of professional practice is more effective when you are in an environment with like-minded individuals who are confident enough to challenge you, yet humble enough to listen to critique on their own practice. Elements only provides space for professional coaches with these attributes – and we arrange a monthly catch up to help with anything you may be struggling with. So, if you are driven, want to continue improving as a coach and are prepared to have a laugh and a joke along the way – we think you’d be a perfect fit for the fabric of the Elements facility.
ALTERNATIVELY PREPARE FOR A CAREER
Elements won’t be the perfect fit to work from for everyone – but we care about those we train – and professional coaching mentorship students are no different. With local connections to other fitness facilities, we aim to put coaches into an environment which we feel best suits their skillset, likelihood for further development & personalities!
Maybe you are the adventurous, back to nature, one with the earth type of coach actively seeking out clients wanting to escape the demands of comfortable indoor settings. This approach needs a different angle to the usual surroundings, however with good planning and rock-solid knowledge of exercise adaptations & alternatives – this can be done!
Do any of these describe you? Busy parent, demanding day job or just prefer the flexibility and convenience of working from home. Remote coaching is becoming much greater in demand with developing technologies making the world ever smaller – home/online based coaching could give you an almost infinite potential client list!
