Certified Primal Fitness Experts receive a well-rounded functional fitness education that advocates for true health and vitality, not the struggle and sacrifice promoted by mainstream fitness culture.

What You'll Learn
Our Fitness Expert Certification course prepares you to go beyond reps and empower clients to actively take ownership of their bodies and movement patterns.
Frequently Asked Questions
In an attempt to achieve fitness breakthroughs, many fitness training programs take a narrow approach and emphasize overly stressful exercise patterns. Primal Fitness gets results, but without the stress. It’s a sustainable, big-picture approach to lifelong fitness. The emphasis is on movement that feels good and improves quality of life. It’s a comprehensive certification program that can be used as a standalone business offering or as an additional revenue stream to an existing health or fitness practice.
Once you start the online education process, course material is released at a rate of one chapter per week. There are 14 chapters, so you could technically get your fitness certification in as little as 14 weeks. However, this is a self-paced program, so you can proceed through the course work at a slower rate any time you like. Remember, your enrollment gives you lifetime access to all the course material.
Some estimate that this course material is on a par with an upper-division college course in the health sciences. However, the written material and videos are all presented in an easy-to-understand format, with a minimum of “sciency” terms or overly complex narratives. That said, the coursework is comprehensive and provides a detailed overview of the most respected fitness research and training philosophies today. While no prerequisites are necessary to enroll, your pace of learning and ease of passing the exams will be accelerated if you have a background in the fitness industry or as an athlete. If you have minimal background experience or knowledge, we will work with you one-on-one to ensure that you absorb the material effectively and pass the course.
The 14 chapter exams are made up of multiple choice and true/false questions that have been carefully scrutinized by an elite team of beta-testers to ensure fairness and relevance to the written and video content course material. A score of 75 percent correct or better represents a passing grade. If you score below 75 percent, you can return to the material for review, and then attempt the exam again and as many times as you need to pass it. If you find yourself getting stuck on a certain chapter or frustrated with the learning experience in any way, don’t stress! We are here to support and eagerly await the opportunity to help. In our years of experience assisting Primal Health Coaches complete the rigorous certification program, we’ve learned that it’s natural to struggle on certain topics or with certain learning modalities and that a little one-on-one support here and there can make all the difference. When in doubt, reach out. We are here to help!

What Our Grads Have to Say
Primal Health Coaching has helped me present primal nutrition and lifestyle habits to my clientele in a very useable format. After completing the course, you are ready to field questions and have total confidence that you are the foremost authority in primal health, fitness, and lifestyle. I think this one certification is more valuable than any personal trainer or nutrition certification that might be available.
Jim Beaumont
Certified Primal Health Coach
Primal Health Coaching allows me to not only promote my services as a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, but also as a Primal Health Coach. I can now help my clients avoid metabolic damage, inflammation, and other potential problems. My client base has broadened to include not only competitors and athletes, but those wanting to understand paleo/keto nutrition and the revised paradigm of health and fitness.
