OPEX COACHING CERTIFICATE PROGRAM

WHAT'S IN THE COACHING

CERTIFICATE PROGRAM?

The current state of the fitness industry is chaotic.

Time and time again, clients start their fitness journey, hopeful that this time they will finally feel better, look better, and reach their physical potential. Unfortunately, more often than not, they are left hopeless and return back to where they started or even worse.

It’s confusing for coaches too. There are always new workouts, equipment, and fad diets claiming to be the silver bullet. How are coaches supposed to know what’s best for their clients?

As coaches, we can either set our clients on the path to long-term success or mindlessly give programs that set them up for failure. To keep your clients safe, get them results, and make a lasting impact, you must know how to:

  • Decipher truth from trend

  • Navigate different client personalities

  • Create personalized programs that set them up for long-term success

  • Earn more money each month

  • Build a coaching practice that stands the test of time

That is exactly what OPEX CCP Coaches worldwide are trained to do. Each one of them has the knowledge, tools, and resources to design a personalized program that delivers clients lasting results and provides a fulfilling career as a fitness coach.

HOW YOU’LL LEARN IN CCP

The OPEX Coaching Certificate Program can be completed 100% online on your own schedule, so you can become an OPEX CCP Coach from anywhere in the world.

What makes this program unique is that it goes beyond theoretical knowledge and merely passing exams. It gives you real-world, hands-on practice and application.

THE OPEX EXPERIENCE

You will begin your education journey with two weeks of the OPEX Experience, a self-assessment and training program so that you can experience the OPEX CCP exercise principles for yourself. What better way is there to know what your clients will feel than by feeling it yourself?

DIGITAL CLASSROOM STUDY

You will study online and, over the course of 8 weeks, work through 300+ videos and 4 textbooks, interactive guides, and client worksheets housed on our membership site. As you study, you can engage in daily conversations in our forums and access our vast library of resources, including 13 months of LearnRx access, James’ monthly Knowledge series, and a hands-on quarterly program design workshop.

MENTOR CALLS

Throughout your studies, you will have access to the CCP instructors to answer your questions and ensure your success. Extensive touch points include the 6 weeks of mentor calls with your OPEX Mentor Coach, webinars and workshops in LearnRx, unlimited forum support, and email.

THE FINAL PROJECT

After completing the course curriculum, you will be asked to show your coaching competency with a real-life client case study. The final project is an opportunity to get your first individual design client and make money while you study. Don’t have clients yet? Not to worry. You’ll learn how to easily gather that first client to effectively walk through your final project, and you can always use a friend or family member.

PROGRAM ROADMAP

We offer four CCP mentorship groups each year. These groups are where you will join your fellow students on the path to greater fitness understanding. You'll take part in a weekly series of live mentorship calls that will be based around accompanying homework that will be outlined ahead of time. While the calls aren't required, CCP Coaches who follow this timeline tend to complete the program more quickly and have more success developing and completing their Final Project.

YOUR FINAL PROJECT

KEY DELIVERABLES

The Final Project is where you will demonstrate your new-found skills. You will work with one client using the OPEX Methodology, leading them through their initial assessment onto the cyclical process of prioritizing, periodizing, and planning to continue building upon their progress.

The Final Project is one of the many things that sets CCP apart from every other program. We want to see you apply your skills in a real-world situation while giving you the personal support you need as you work hard to become a better coach. 

Every Final Project is personally reviewed and scored by OPEX CEO and CCP mentor Carl Hardwick.
