Become an Instructor

BECOME AN OFFICIAL PRIMAL MOVE INSTRUCTOR!

Our base level is the Primal Move Fundamentals, Level I course. After you become a certified PMF coach, you can move forward and get certified in PMF level II, Primal Move Kids, Primal Move Velocity and Primal Move Regeneration. You can pick any, in any order or choose not to certify further, if PMF is your only goal.

We have already and will continue to organize Primal Move Fundamentals Instructor Certifications all over Europe, many parts in the US, and even in Australia, Korea in 2012. So keep up with us in the news!

The basic level certification is an 8-9 hours event, where we will be teaching you the following:

Primal Move Fundamentals Basic Moves
Primal Flow Evaluation
Primal Move Games
Primal Move Form 1
Concepts, methodology and philosophy behind the system
Teaching the movements and creating forms
Program planning, creating progression/regression plans
10 elements of Primal Move
How to create a workout
PMF Instructor Certification comes with a 90-page Instructor manual and almost 100 minutes of downloadable video for review and further learning.

What are the benefits of becoming a Primal Move Fundamentals Instructor?

You can advertise your classes, programs or facility with the Primal Move name and logo.
You will get a vast amount of information, videos and other supporting materials to help your programs.
You can start private or group/class teaching.

The core of our certification is the Primal Move Fundamentals system, which is the foundation of all the other divisions - or tribes, as we like to call them. While the basic Certification is very practical, we do not expect you to know all requirements ahead so that you may test succesfully in the end. We'll give you a lot of material to read, and lots of time to practice and to, well to practice some more!

Testing

At the end of the Certification, you become a PM Instructor Candidate. Within 45 days after the certification, you will need to send in a 5-7 minutes video of you performing and teaching PM. Once accepted by PM headquarters, you will become a PMF Level I Certified Instructor.

Primal Move practice is beneficial for many groups:

weekend warriors as a beginners program or as a full program
injured athletes as rehabilitation
athletes as a de-load program or a low intensity solution
older people to improve movement skills, mobility and help restore balance
children to improve body awareness and proprioception and coordination
