Elite Motion Level 1 is a six-month certification for coaches, practitioners and serious movers who want to understand movement beyond exercises, templates and memorised protocols. Learn to observe a body, reason through what it cannot access, choose a logical first input, teach it clearly, and re-observe whether movement changes.
A new cohort starts at the beginning of every month — apply now to join the next Level 1 intake and the live practical labs.
6-month Level 1 certification — a new cohort starts every month
Theory
Prerecorded so you can digest it in order
Practice
2 weekly practical time slots. One live attendance or replay completion expected
Outcome
Observe, reason, select, teach and re-observe
The Premise
The problem is not more exercises. It is the reasoning behind them.
Most coaches already have more information than they can use: workshops, certifications, systems, exercises, cues and drills. What is missing is a clear process for understanding the body in front of them.
Elite Motion is not built around collecting more drills. It is built around a lens.
A process for observing how a body organises movement, reasoning through what it cannot access, choosing a logical first input, teaching it clearly, and checking whether the movement changes. Exercise selection stops being guesswork and becomes a decision you can explain.
You can’t express what you can’t access.
Biomechanics becomes useful when you can recognise it in real movement, feel it in your own body, and apply it with another person.
The Shift
From collecting exercises to understanding bodies
Where most people get stuck
Learning isolated techniques without knowing when or why to use them
Watching clients move but not knowing what the body is failing to access
Changing exercises without changing the underlying organisation
Over-focusing on symptoms instead of the system
Jumping between methods without a clear decision-making process
Trying to force change when the body is not ready to accept it
What you learn to build
The eye to see weight shifts, rotations, pressure and compensation
The ability to feel the positions and strategies yourself
The skill to teach movement clearly to another person
The reasoning to know what to test, what to address first and why
The confidence to select, regress and adapt first-layer interventions
The mental framework to make biomechanical change more frictionless
Who It Is For
For coaches, practitioners and serious movers with real training experience
The certification is built primarily for coaches, trainers and practitioners who work with bodies. Serious movers may also be a fit if they have enough training experience and want to understand their own biomechanics at a deeper level.
Coaches
For coaches who want to stop relying on random exercises and start understanding why a client moves the way they move.
Practitioners
For trainers, therapists and movement professionals who want a clearer bridge between assessment, coaching application and performance.
Serious Movers
For people who want to use the certification to understand and change their own biomechanics, not only coach someone else.
Who this is not for
You want a quick list of drills without learning the reasoning behind them.
You are looking for a medical credential, rehab licence or diagnostic qualification.
You do not want to practise, film, re-watch, adjust and be coached.
You prefer rigid templates over learning how to read the body in front of you.
Who this is for
You work with bodies and want a clearer decision-making process.
You want to feel the work in your own system before teaching it to someone else.
You care about assessment, movement quality and practical coaching application.
You are ready to build a deeper lens over six months, not collect another weekend method.
What You Build
A practical ability, not just a list of topics
The curriculum gives you the structure. The practical work turns it into an eye, a body sense and a first-layer coaching process.
01
Observe posture, gait and movement with more clarity
02
Identify missing access and reason through what to test first
03
Understand the organisation behind a compensation, not only the symptom

Client Outcomes
What this knowledge can create
These are not the mentorship testimonials. These are client and athlete outcomes from the CoAthletic environment, showing what clearer movement reasoning can help produce in real bodies.
Francisco
From a body he could train to a body he could actually use
Gait · pain resolution · return to sport
Before
9/10 plantar fasciitis
7/10 knee pain
Torn shoulder with 7/10 pain
Stiff spine with restricted rotation
Poor sleep, anxious energy and nervous system stuck in overdrive
Years of disciplined training building a body he could not use
After
Zero pain across all previous sites
Runs, jumps, throws and moves freely
Playing football, golf and skiing with confidence
Plays with his kids without limitation
Sleeping better, calmer and more energetic
Gained muscle on a body that now actually works
The shift: Francisco did not lack effort. He lacked a foundation. Years of bodybuilding, HIIT and lifting had built capacity on top of a gait that was not working, so everything loaded wrong. We stripped it back to walking, running and basic movement patterns. Once the foundation was right, everything else followed.
"He was extremely disciplined for years. The training was never the problem. The foundation was. Once we fixed how he moved at the base level, everything else he'd built had somewhere solid to sit." - Sebastian Coello
Lio · Ex-Rugby Player
From spine and shoulder compression to leaner, stronger and pain-free overhead
Former athlete · structural and body composition
Before · 109.5kg
Left rib cage and shoulder compression
Anterior pelvic tilt and shift
Thoracic kyphosis
Longitudinal compression
Shoulder stiffness and pain pressing overhead
After · 94kg
Decreased fat mass and increased muscle mass
Significantly reduced shoulder compression
Anterior pelvic shift and tilt reduced
Pain pressing overhead resolved
Thoracic kyphosis significantly reduced
Since day one Lio showed a strong commitment to improving his biomechanics and state of health. His ability to adapt and change his behaviours toward habits that could facilitate this change were clear from the start. He is an example to all ex-athletes that daily bodily pain and discomfort does not need to be the norm.
Hugo · Professional Dancer
From years of dancing through pain to strong, agile and pain-free
Professional dancer · roughly 2 years · in-person and remote
Before · age 20
Shoulder and scapula instability, clicking and pain during lifting and dance
Poor upper back extension mobility and strength
Lumbar and sacral pain and instability at 6/10
Worsening kyphosis leading to tension headaches at 5/10
General low energy, fatigue and anxiety symptoms
After · age 22
Zero lumbar spine or SI joint pain
Greater scapular, shoulder and hip stability with no clicking while dancing
Increased upper spine mobility and strength with zero tension headaches
Increased muscle mass and strength
Improved cranial position and breathing
"Now, I feel agile and strong in various motions and supported especially when extending my spine. Training with CoAthletic has put me in the right environment to reach my potential." - Hugo
Radoslav Detchev · Returning Athlete
From 11 years off the mat to gold medal in the 30+ category
Returning competitor · judo
Radoslav's result shows the performance side of the work: rebuilding enough structure, confidence and capacity to return to competition after a long break and finish on top of the podium.
More Results
Real-world proof across different bodies
Different goals, different sports, same principle: when structure and movement improve, people get access to parts of themselves they thought were gone.
Jodie Shaw · Touch Rugby
Running again after 30 years. "I won a 1km sprint and a 3km run. I haven't run like that since school. The knowledge gave me the courage to compete."
What changed: From not running to competing, 30 years of movement unlocked.
Samraz · Kickboxing
Full mobility restored. Head kicks returning to full lethality after not being able to lift the leg above knee height at the start of the year.
What changed: From below-knee range to full overhead mobility in the same year.
Matt · Turning 40 Stronger

The Method
How it works
A Level 1 certification with sequential theory, weekly practical labs, and clear milestones across six months.
Delivery
Theory in order. Practical work every week.
The theory curriculum is prerecorded so each student can follow the 6-month pathway properly from the beginning. The live practical labs run weekly during each certification cycle and are used to apply, feel, coach and analyse the concepts. Two time slots are offered for the same weekly practical focus, so only one live attendance is expected each week. Students may attend both if they want more repetition.
Prerecorded Theory Classes
All theory classes are prerecorded. This allows people in different time zones and at different levels to digest the material in their own time, revisit it, and follow the pathway in order.
The theory is where the concepts, frameworks, anatomy, fascia, physiology, assessment principles and reasoning process are taught.
Live Practical Labs
The live practicals run every week regardless of class numbers. These are the sessions where we train the body, the eye and the coaching process.
There are two weekly practical time slots for the same practical focus. You only need to attend one live session each week, although you are welcome to attend both. If you cannot attend live, you are expected to watch the recording and provide proof or confirmation of completion.
The practicals are not random workouts. They are applied labs for movement, assessment, coaching and video analysis.
Weekly Times
Live practical calls every week
Two weekly time slots are offered for the same practical focus. You are expected to attend one live practical each week, or watch the recording and provide proof or confirmation of completion. You may attend both if you want extra repetition. The practical classes are scheduled in Sydney time, with US and Europe equivalents shown below. Calendar invites should still be used because daylight savings can shift international equivalents.

7:30–9:00pm
Sydney: Monday 7:30–9:00pm AEST
Eastern US: Monday 5:30–7:00am ET
Central Europe: Monday 11:30am–1:00pm CEST

Eastern US: Tuesday 5:00–6:30pm ET
Central Europe: Tuesday 11:00pm–12:30am CEST
UK: Tuesday 10:00–11:30pm BST
Support
Access without chaos
The certification includes support, feedback and direct access, but it needs to be structured so the work stays focused and professional.
Weekly 1:1 Mentoring
Students can use structured booking windows for weekly 15-minute mentoring when they need direct help understanding the work, applying concepts or getting unstuck.
Video & Photo Feedback
Students submit videos and photos of their own movement or client work inside the group spaces for feedback, adjustments and next steps.
Skool & WhatsApp
Support continues outside the calls through Skool and WhatsApp, so questions, doubts and applications can be handled throughout the process.
Learning Method
The way you learn is the way you will coach
The certification is built around the same process that develops movement understanding: seeing a technique, doing it, reasoning through it, teaching it, then finding it in real movement.
01
Technique
Learn the position, pressure, rotation or movement strategy being taught.
02
Embodiment
Feel what the drill changes in your own body, including what assists the movement and what pulls you out of it.
03
Film & Analysis
Use athletic footage, client videos and movement breakdowns to train the eye.
04
Teaching
Practise communicating the concept so another person can feel, understand and apply it.
The Elite Motion Lens
What you learn to reason through
You are not learning to identify isolated problems. You are learning to understand how the whole system organises itself under movement, load, stress and intent, then choose a first input that matches what the body is showing you.

Health & Biomechanics
Movement does not exist in isolation
Movement quality is influenced by sleep, stress, recovery, inflammation, energy availability and the general health of the individual. If the body cannot recover, regulate, create blood flow or adapt, even good biomechanics will eventually hit a ceiling.
This is not a nutrition certification and it is not direct nutritional prescription. It is education on how physiology affects movement quality, coordination, tissue adaptation, learning and recovery. You will learn how to think about diet, recovery and lifestyle as part of the movement environment without stepping outside your scope.
Mentality & Change
Changing biomechanics is physical, but it also requires the right mental position
When someone has moved one way for years, new positions can feel unfamiliar, uncomfortable or even wrong. The body often wants to return to the strategy it knows. Part of the process is learning how to create change without forcing it.
Understand Resistance
Learn what can happen when a client or your own body starts moving away from old compensations and into new movement options.
Reduce Friction
Use better progressions, clearer intent and smarter entry points so change feels more accessible, not like a fight against the body.
Build Trust
Help the person feel what is changing, understand why it matters, and stay with the process long enough for the body to adapt.
The 3 + 3 Model
A six-month certification with clear checkpoints
The pathway is six months because the goal is not just information. The goal is pattern recognition, reasoning, coaching ability and client application. The 3-month and 6-month points create clear milestones without shortening the depth of the work.
0–3 Months
Foundation, seeing and first reasoning
Build the lens: observation, gait, pressure, breathing, rotation, foot/hip/thorax relationships, access vs control and first-layer intervention logic.
Checkpoint
Online integration workshop after reaching month 3.
3–6 Months
Application, case reasoning and certification integration
Apply the lens to movement blueprints, gait, rotation, force transfer, regressions, progressions, case studies, live coaching and final integration.
Checkpoint
In-person immersion eligibility after completing the six-month pathway.
Common Questions
Questions people usually have before joining
When can I join?
A new cohort starts at the beginning of every month. Applications are reviewed as they come in, and accepted students begin with the next monthly cohort and follow the 6-month pathway from the beginning.
How does intake work?
A new cohort begins at the start of each month. Each accepted student follows the full six-month sequence from the beginning, with live labs used to apply and refine the concepts.
Is this a certification?
Yes. Elite Motion Level 1 is an internal Elite Motion certification. It confirms you have completed the six-month process and demonstrated foundational competence in the Elite Motion applied biomechanics lens. It is not a university qualification, medical credential, rehabilitation licence or externally accredited biomechanics degree.
Are there four live calls per week?
No. The theory classes are prerecorded. The live component is the practical work. There are two 90-minute practical time slots each week, but they cover the same weekly focus. You are expected to attend one live session each week, or watch the recording and provide proof or confirmation of completion. You may attend both if you want more repetition.
Do I need to attend both practical time slots?
No. The two practical time slots are offered to make the weekly practical easier to attend across time zones. They cover the same weekly focus, so one live attendance is expected. You are allowed to attend both if you want more repetition. If you cannot attend live, watch the replay and provide proof or confirmation of completion.
What happens if I miss a practical?
The practical calls are recorded. If you miss the live practical, you are expected to watch the replay and provide proof or confirmation of completion. The live sessions are there for application, correction, video review and practical understanding.
How does the 1:1 mentoring work?
The 1:1 aspect is used to keep you clear and supported. You can book short mentoring calls inside specific booking windows, send videos or photos, and use the group spaces to get feedback on your own movement or client applications.
When can I attend the online workshop?
You become eligible for the online integration workshop once you reach the 3-month point. That way, the workshop is built on enough foundation to actually mean something.
Is this a rehab qualification?
No. This certification does not qualify you to diagnose pathology, manage acute injury or practise rehabilitation. It is designed for movement coaching, applied biomechanics reasoning and first-layer intervention within appropriate scope.
Do you cover diet and health?
Yes, but within scope. This is not a nutrition certification and it is not direct nutritional prescription. We cover how sleep, recovery, inflammation, energy availability, stress and lifestyle can influence movement, learning, tissue adaptation and performance.
Is a payment plan available?
Yes. A payment plan is available for accepted students. The standard plan is $1,000 USD per month for six months, with a community member rate available for existing members and previous students.
What happens after six months?
You complete the Level 1 pathway and move into certification integration. Students who meet the practical standard can represent themselves as Elite Motion Level 1 Certified. Students who need more time receive feedback and a development pathway.
Ready to build the lens?
A new cohort starts at the beginning of every month. Apply now and we will confirm whether the certification is the right fit for where you are now.
The Investment
A clear commitment
Everything that's included, and what it costs.
Most coaches already spend thousands jumping between workshops, certifications, seminars and fragmented systems, without ever developing a clear framework for observing movement, reasoning through what is missing and choosing inputs in context.
The goal of this certification is not to overload you with more disconnected information, but to help you develop a clearer process for understanding what matters, when it matters, and why. That's where the value is. That's what justifies treating this as an investment in how you coach for the rest of your career, not a one-off purchase.

It started where most good coaching does, with my own body breaking down.
For over a decade I've been coaching athletes one-on-one. For fifteen years before that, I lived inside the world of football, biomechanics and movement as a player, a student, and an obsessive student of how the body actually works.
I've worked with athletes across Australia, Spain and Argentina, from injured weekend competitors to professionals returning to play. The pattern is always the same. The fix is almost never where they think it is.
Where the lens came from
Football was the first laboratory.
The work did not start as theory. It came from trying to understand why speed, rotation, pain, compensation and performance kept showing up together on the field and in the body.
01
Broken Leg, Broken System
A compound tibia and fibula fracture took me out of football, and exposed the limits of generic rehab.
02
The Pattern Was Bigger Than The Pain
When I came back, the injuries moved. Different joints, same cycle. That forced me to look at the body as a system, not a collection of sore parts.
03
Reading The Body, Not Just Training It
Today the work is twofold: helping active people, high performers and everyday clients rebuild trust in their body, while coaching practitioners to read structure and compensation more clearly, so they get better results with their own clients.
