Until now, the essence of flexibility training has been characterized as stretching. Stretching was thought to be the foundation of becoming more flexible, but stretching alone does not increase flexibility. Flexibility is determined by the body’s movement patterns, the muscles attributing and restricting those movements, and the joint composure and connections of the joint structures to allow for movement. 

FLX flexibility training is based on research and science. We teach a variety of stretching and strengthening techniques. What makes our system different is learning how to test the joints' range of motion and then using our protocols for stretching and strengthening the limited flexibility.

Take our online or in person certification course and pass the exam with a 76% score or better.

FLX instructor training includes 10 chapters that focus on the use of our specialized tool, the Flexistretcher, anatomy, the foundations of movement, physiology of flexibility, understanding range of motion for each joint, how to evaluate flexibility, safety, how to teach an FLX flexibility class, videos, glossary and appendix.

A general understanding of basic anatomy and movement is suggested. Having a group fitness, personal training certification or dance instructor background is a plus. Must be 18 years of age or older to become a certified FLX instructor.
