We believe that the most skilled and qualified Coaches aren’t necessarily those with the most credentials, the biggest social media following or years of experience under their belt. Instead, they tend to have high empathy, value relationships, are natural connectors, enjoy empowering others, are committed to ongoing learning and most importantly, dedicated to doing the work themselves. 

Our program is designed for you to complete The F.I.T. LIFE Program for yourself so that you not only have the knowledge but the experiential practice of what The F.I.T. LIFE Method is all about. This is what will make it possible for you to skyrocket your coaching skills, to become that “next level” Coach. This program is ideal for those who are curious and open learners who are ready and willing to show up and apply the learning in their own life. 

This is not a short, self-paced recorded coaching program that assesses through quizzes and tests. Our program is led through live interactive lessons following our course workbooks where there is plenty of time for questions, real-life application, and engaging discussions. Being comfortable with a degree of personal sharing and participating in this style of learning is essential. 

There are 3 reasons why our program is 18 months:

1. The F.I.T. LIFE program is not a basic coaching program that teaches you how to set and achieve goals, improve your habits, your performance, or get control of your mental health. It’s a comprehensive, holistic, trauma-informed program that empowers you to heal root issues and uplevel yourself, your relationships, and your life. This takes time to learn and integrate.

2. We know that great Coaches do the work themselves and can apply the learning in real time. This means a supported practicum is built into our program, as is the opportunity for every student to be supported as they work the program themselves. We are here to develop rockstar Coaches who are professional, competent, and trauma-informed, this takes real-time practice over time.  

3. Most of our students have careers, families and a life, so we are realistic about the time that can be dedicated to the trainings and practical components. We endeavour to make this experience something that is a stretch but doable given your real life demands. It’s highly likely that our time together will become a treasured part of your week, that 18 months will fly by and you may not even want it to end. 

A 20 hour commitment per month is required. (Approximately 3-5 hours per week)

The first step in joining the program is to set up a “Curious about Cert” session with Andrea Ferguson to ensure that the program is the right fit for you. If the program is a right fit, the next step is to complete an application form. Upon approval into the program you can select your cohort. 

We offer a Fall cohort that starts in early Sept and a spring cohort that starts in early March. Once a cohort is started, you will have to wait until the next cohort to start the program.

A key aspect of our program is the integration work. It’s one thing to learn the concepts and another to apply them. On the personal track of the FLM Platform, our Certified Coaches lead “Classes” that are designed to support our members in doing the essential integration work. These classes are offered at a variety of days and times each week, where one of our Coaches will lead the group through a guided practice. You have an unlimited pass to participate in all classes of your choosing throughout your 18 month program. Remember, great Coaches do the work and we make it as easy as possible for you to succeed! 

Plus, as a Certified Mentor + Coach, you may also have the opportunity to teach these classes on the FLM Platform one day too!

Everything you need to successfully complete the Certification program is included in the program.

The add-on options are designed for students and graduates of the program who are really keen to further develop and practice their skills or who want to receive additional or ongoing support. Continued learning and practice is what differentiates a good coach from a great coach, so we are here to provide plenty of opportunities to support our Coaches in becoming the best version of themselves and the best Coaches they can be.

We teach a variety of types of breathwork including Conscious Connected Breathing as well as somatic practices to enhance healing and growth in our F.I.T. Breathwork Practitioner Training.

It’s ideal for Coaches who want to deepen their own healing and/or expand their skills as a holistically trained Coach.

Breathwork can be done virtually and in person and it’s a powerful tool in a Coaches’ tool kit. The Breathwork training happens once per year and is only open to members in the Certification community, as the 18-month Certification training is an essential aspect of being a qualified Breathwork Practitioner.

Breathwork speeds up healing and growth and is a fantastic modality to use 1:1 with clients as well as in groups at events, retreats, and in classes. It can be an entire revenue stream in itself.

Like our Certification program, if you are willing to do Breathwork for yourself and are looking for ways to be more holistically trained with somatic tools to help your clients amplify their results, then Breathwork is a fantastic tool to add to your Coaching toolkit.  

Graduating as a Certified F.I.T. LIFE Method Mentor + Coach gives you the opportunity to apply to join the FLM Platform—our premium, done-for-you coaching platform.

The FLM Platform is designed for Coaches who want to focus on coaching and supporting members without having to build and manage a membership platform, program infrastructure and technology themselves.

Platform Coaches are selected based on successful completion of the certification, demonstrated coaching skills, alignment with The F.I.T. LIFE Method and our approach to supporting members, and their ability to contribute to our collaborative coaching and marketing team.

If approved, you’ll become part of our Certified FLM Coach team and have the opportunity to coach members through The F.I.T. LIFE Program.

Joining the FLM Platform is not required to use your certification. You can also take what you’ve learned, use our extensive Resource Kit and create your own coaching practice, programs or offerings—building it your way.

No. We use a licensing model. We will guide you on the steps to becoming an independent subcontractor who is licensed to lead The F.I.T. LIFE Program on the FLM Platform via our custom done-for-you membership site and mobile APP. We’ve done ALL the setup for you and have a team in place to support you, right from the start.

You will decide your schedule, your holidays, and which of the services and programs we offer that you would like to lead. We have a proven program that works with best practices in place to ensure we offer a consistent, high-quality experience for both members and our team of Coaches, but ultimately you are your own boss! We are simply pooling our strengths together to create a win-win-win experience for all.  

Yes. There are 2 licensing options to choose from:

1-year license: 

$2700 CAD

or 

2-year license:

 $4700 CAD

with flexible payment options available.

You can start coaching as soon as you’re certified. How quickly you begin attracting clients and generating income will depend on the path you choose, the services you offer, and how actively you put your coaching out into the world.

If you choose to build your own coaching practice, you can begin offering your own coaching services, programs and workshops using your F.I.T. LIFE training and Resource Kit.

If you apply and are approved to join the FLM Platform, you can begin coaching within The F.I.T. LIFE Program as part of our collaborative coaching team. We provide the membership platform, program infrastructure and technology, while you focus on coaching, supporting members and participating in our collaborative marketing.

There are no guarantees or instant results when starting a coaching career. What we can do is give you the training, resources, structure and support to help you get started with greater clarity and less guesswork—and, for those who join the FLM Platform, the opportunity to build alongside an established team and system.
