FULL COURSE DESCRIPTION

The Spin City Advanced Pole Fitness Instructor Course will cover the highest level of instruction in Pole Fitness. This course is largely practical in nature concentrating on three different elements of advanced training. Firstly, we will begin by covering an additional 40 moves, the final block of moves in our core syllabus with the focus at this level on strong postural alignment, clean execution and bilateral training in all movements. This will be followed by an in-depth look at handsprings; including discussion on when to introduce these to students and in which order with extensive teaching notes for a range of different safe and effective grips and entries. The practical work finishes with a range of other dynamic movements that can be introduced at an advanced level applying basic principles of physics.

The theoretical side of the advanced training course begins with principles of injury prevention and injury management. Our advanced teaching and coaching unit looks at how your role as an instructor will develop as students move into a more autonomous stage of their training and how you can foster creativity safely in a class environment. Advances to progress chains are noted, along with the development of core skills and beneficial areas of cross training are identified such as advanced flexibility. The final unit focuses on health and safety considerations when working with an advanced student body with an exploration of spotting dynamic movement to finish.
