What is included in the training?
The X˙CORE Instructor Certification Program is a comprehensive training that includes training in Functional Anatomy, the Science behind X˙CORE’s High Intensity Training Method, and the XFormer® machine. The Training Program includes pre-training work, X˙CORE’s Training Manual and xBURN Moves book, an interactive online learning platform, and over 30 hours of extensive in-studio training, and a post-training mentorship program.
Your training will consist of 3 major parts:
Pre-Training will give you the foundational skills you need for training. It will provide the basics of verbally cueing and coaching the movements.
Weekend Intensives are fun filled weekends of learning the principles of X˙CORE, xBURN moves, and how to become an effective coach.
Post-Training is your time to work with your mentor and practice, practice, practice with the goal of getting schedule-ready and changing lives!
What are the WEEKEND INTENSIVES?
X˙CORE’s Training Program includes five scheduled days of training led by X˙CORE’s owners and Lead Instructor Trainer. Each day includes up to 7 hours of in-studio training. Training will be a mixture of lectures, practice and movement. Attendance is mandatory for the weekend intensives.
WHAT DO I NEED TO DO TO AUDITION for X˙CORE’S training?
To be eligible to audition for X˙CORE Training, you'll need to meet the following requirements:
1. Take at Least 50 X˙CORE Classes
We require all prospective trainees to have completed a minimum of 50 X˙CORE classes. This ensures you have a strong understanding of our method, movement patterns, pacing, and class experience before stepping into a coaching role.
2. Attend an Information Session
All applicants must attend an X˙CORE Training Information Session (or receive the information through an approved alternative format if they cannot attend live). This session covers expectations, requirements, time commitments, and the audition process.
3. Commit to All Training Weekends
Teacher Training is a significant commitment. Attendance at all scheduled training weekends is required. Missing training sessions can impact your ability to successfully complete the program and coach safely and effectively.
4. Continue Taking Classes Throughout Training
Training doesn't replace taking class. We expect trainees to continue regularly attending X˙CORE classes throughout the training process to deepen their understanding of the method, observe experienced coaches, and continue developing as movers.
A Final Note
Being a great coach starts with being a committed student. We're looking for individuals who are passionate about the X˙CORE method, eager to learn, open to feedback, and excited to contribute to our community.

WHAT DO I NEED TO DO TO TEACH AT X˙CORE?
You will need to attend the weekend intensives, complete the online xBURN Certification Course, and pass Community Classes. While we offer guidance and a three month mentorship program, your progress through the course is entirely dependent on you and will be self-tracked.
If you're not ready by the end of 3 months, we'll re-assess and determine if we'll continue to move forward with training you to become an instructor.
While it is our goal that every trainee becomes an X˙CORE all star instructor, each participant’s success is dependent on the individual’s dedication. We want a team where everyone shares the same passion in helping others achieve their fitness goals, give all clients a sense of community and lastly, we want each X˙CORE Coach to share the same vision in helping X˙CORE become not only known for their great workout but AMAZING team. That said, we cannot guarantee everyone will become an instructor should we feel it is not a good fit.
What if I’m already certified in a similar reformer training/certification?
We love instructors with experience! The more education and training you have, the more dynamic of an instructor you will be. Due to the unique nature of our equipment, programming and methodology, we require all instructors to successfully complete the X˙CORE Instructor Certification Program. Other certifications and trainings are not a substitute to become an X˙CORE Coach.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
X˙CORE’s Instructor Training tuition is $2,200. A $600 minimum non-refundable deposit is required in order to enroll and hold your spot. The remainder can be paid in full anytime prior to or on the first day of training.
Additional Costs As An Instructor
In addition to the training costs, once you become an instructor you can expect to pay up to $175 annually for Instructor Insurance and about $75 for CPR/AED training.
WHAT IS INCLUDED IN TUITION?
The tuition includes access to the X˙CORE’s Learning Platform, X˙CORE’s Training Manual and xBURN Moves Book, two weekends of immersive training, access to all X˙CORE studios to practice, 35 credits to be used in 3 months, and a 3 month mentorship from X˙CORE’s lead trainers.
