The Strength Studio
Strength Training Instructor Career Opportunity
“First learn the meaning of what you say, and then speak.” - Epictetus
The Power of 10 Certification Program
The Power of 10 Certification Program is a comprehensive 12 week remote course of preparation and study. The course rounds out with a complete 2-day, hands-on workshop, and then concludes with final testing and certification.
Want to Become a Certified Power-of-10 Strength Training Instructor?
We are only hiring top-level professionals to present and apply our training technique. Our instructors are active and key contributors to the success and growth of The Strength Studio.
Every Power of 10 instructor should internalize the profound quote by Greek philosopher Epictetus. Since exercise is a topic about which many people hold firm beliefs, it’s crucial that our instructors understand our clients before trying to persuade them that running is the culprit of their joint problems.
Often times an inexperienced and ambitious instructor will highlight the benefits of our specialized workout, use buzzwords or try to dazzle them with facts without truly understanding the science behind the information they are conveying and, more importantly, without understanding where the client is coming from. Unless people trust you and believe that you understand them, they will be too defensive to be influenced.
This is why it is critical to not only be an effective communicator, but also understand the information you wish to convey on a deeper level. To understand information on a deeper level requires critical thinking.
Arthur Jones, the inventor of Nautilus, along with other great inventors that have come after him have raised important questions and concerns with existing methods of exercise and have innovated alternative approaches. Low force, high intensity strength training is the result of this high level and out-of-the-box thinking. By practicing critical thinking, you will develop a foundation and mindset that will enable you to question established wisdom and think about exercise in a way that deconstructs long established myths.
Why are we emphasizing communication and critical thinking before we even address the job opportunity? Because you can learn everything there is to know about our training technique but you will not be able to properly guide others in our technique unless you are able to think clearly and communicate this information to our clients.
Candidates should meet all of the following criteria:
-Possess a nationally recognized personal trainer certification
-Have strong curiosity or familiarity with the principles of high intensity training
-Have an understanding of the importance of strength training
-Be a skilled communicator
-Understand scientific method and critical thinking
-Be gregarious
-Be a good listener
-Show compassion
-Attain Power of 10 certification within the first 6 months of hire
*Bachelor’s degree not required but preferred
