About The Program
As a PIF Master Trainer, you will be able to run your own Paddle Into Fitness teacher trainings (SUP + SUP Yoga or SUP Fitness) and Float Into Fitness (Pool Mat Yoga or Fitness) through your company using our certification materials. You could also be selected to join the PIF traveling certification team and lead teacher trainings internationally!
The training will certify you as a WPA Level 2 Instructor ($300 value), which will allow you to certify students in WPA Level 1. There will be a SUP skills and water safety test before completion. If you are interested in the training, we are looking for students who have:
At least two years of teaching experience
Can successfully perform a cross bow & pivot turn
Can demonstrate advanced stroke technique
Can complete 1 mile on SUP in under 18 minutes (all around board) or 16 minutes (race board), swim 25 yards in under 30 seconds, and perform a board flip rescue.
Have all certifications up to date. (First Aid, CPR, AED, Lifeguard, Yoga or Fitness Certifications)
Have the Paddle Into Fitness signature classes (Beginner Lesson, Gentle Wave, Nautical Flow, Surfer’s Sculpt) and Float Into Fitness memorized before the training.
This training is limited to students who have gone through the PIF certification program, and you can only become a Master Trainer in the certifications you have taken. There will be a small licensing fee per student certified using PIF materials.
You will be listed on our website’s Instructor Directory with a full profile and bio on a personal webpage with links to your website. Your business will be listed on our map with zip code search option, enabling online searchers to find you as a potential Master Trainer skills testing location. You also have the ability to use signature class names, descriptions and graphics on your website.
Float Into Fitness: The Float Into Fitness program is designed specifically for pools, and may be taught using either SUP boards or floating fitness mats. The floating fitness mats have been successful in new areas of fitness, including physical aquatic therapy, boot camp type workouts and of course aquatic YOGA and Fitness. Many gyms, athletic centers, and resorts are incorporating this program into their schedule. The Float Into Fitness Master Instructor Training is included in the course!
