Hosting an IFA Fitness Certification Seminar
Share your expertise, empower others, and supplement your income.
As an IFA certified instructor, you have the opportunity to host certification seminars on your own schedule, in any venue you choose. Whether it's a single afternoon or a multi-day event, you control the process.
You are the host of the seminar. Download the book, make copies of it for your attendees and conduct the seminar according to your own designs so long as the principles of the IFA Fitness Training Manual are used as seminar content. Since IFA does not come to your location, as an IFA instructor you represent IFA's advanced philosophy and principles of training.
