NEW HIRE TRAINING
COASTAL REALM COACHES ACADEMY
Welcome to Coastal Realm. New Hire Training is designed to give every new coach the essential knowledge and expectations they need before beginning hands-on training at CRG. These short training modules cover our culture, employee expectations, gym operations, class management, coaching fundamentals, safety, athlete supervision, and the Coastal Realm coaching standard.
Work through each module in order, watch all required videos, review the accompanying information, and complete the required knowledge checks. These modules provide the foundation for your training; they are followed by hands-on instruction, shadowing, and practical coaching experience on the floor.
