Good information doesn’t displace good information. It only reinforces it. CST goes a step farther and amplifies the effectiveness of your prior education by efficiently integrating your total coaching performance into an elegant, surgical formula.

Levels of CST Certification:

RMAX International has a 5-tiered educational platform to provide students with more sophisticated mastery of the Circular Strength Training.

  • RMAX Faculty Director: The RMAX Faculty is the smallest divisible unit in the organization, the heart of its evolutionary development and the head of its ongoing research and refinement. Faculty directors are CST Head Coaches who hold the organization itself as their aspirative mission. Faculty travel worldwide providing the “CST Experience” of team-building, education and certification in the levels of the CST Coaching Development Program. Faculty Director is an invitational assignment rather than a certified position. They are recruited from the members of the Head Coaching Staff who contribute consistent organizational team-building talent, and mastery of the over-riding physical preparation model of CST: the Three-Dimensional Performance Pyramid™.
  • CST Level III (Head Coach): Certified CST Head Coaches craft complete periodized training plans for teams, organizations and agencies through education in the Training Hierarchy Pyramid™. Becoming a CST Head Coach requires the demonstration of significant leadership abilities. Head Coaches are the physical and intellectual representatives of RMAX, embodying its mission of community-fostering mentorship and its vision of “leading from the front.” As aids to the RMAX Faculty, they undergo apprenticeship in conducting certification seminars so that they become qualified to add certifying CST GX Instructors to their benefit stream. The most significant quality in becoming a Head Coach is joining the Head Coaching Staff: a professional team actively developing co-venture, co-promotional and collaborative projects with direct support and supervision from the RMAX Faculty.
  • CST Level II (Coach): Certified CST Coaches are qualified in our signature client assessment process, Poise Analysis™, and as a result, Component Learning Technique™. The ability to screen, assess, deconstruct and debug movement efficiency sets a high premium of success for our CST Coaches, distinguishing them from the high volume of personal trainers. Coaches join the RMAX Coaching Staff in tapping into an organizational mind-share library of professional and personal development mentorship. CST Coaches sub-certify for free in any of the system’s increasing array of sought-after programs, and receive extensive support in professional workshop development, marketing and networking.
  • CST Level I (Personal Training Instructor): Full CST Instructors receive personal trainer certification through an intensive hands-on education in the science of Circular Strength Training®. Instructors focus on how the “Tri-Ring Integration™” of Joint Mobility, 6 Degree of Freedom Progressive Resistance and Compensatory Movement Technique™ acts as an integrative method of program design. CST Instructors are provided with a spectrum of stock programs that allow them to begin sharing CST with their clients immediately, while simultaneously deepening their development on the road toward CST Coach.
  • CST Group Exercise Instructor: CST GX Instructors receive base level certification in specific programs in the RMAX fleet of peak performance classes. Our programs have been implemented in the “Best Gyms in America” and can be found worldwide. You need the cutting-edge to gain the competitive edge, and the Circular Strength Training® System consistently produces the most innovative and effective programs in wellness, fitness and athletic conditioning.

Any specialized CST certifications?

We have a rich catalog of other courses with proven value and interest for personal trainers, exercise instructors and strength and conditioning specialists. These coures work on the same financial basis as the Circular Strength Training courses, and provide your community with quality, focused continuing education, all RMAX International approved and worth your students’ time and investment.

Each of the following courses can be offered in 1 or 2 day formats. The TACFIT Field Instructor and Team Leader Certification courses are offered in 2 or 3 day formats.

  • TACFIT Tactical Fitness Field Instructor and Team Leader: Tactical Fitness involves the specific mechanical, energetic and coordinative exercise selection for military, law enforcement, security, fire rescue, combat sports and martial arts.  The uniqueness of Scott Sonnon’s approach is in this 26 program array in that the 96 exercises are composed of 4 levels of complexity, so that your students increase strength, power, endurance, agility, but focused toward the goal of functional motor sophistication for occupational and operational necessities.
  • Circular Strength Training Group Exercise Instructor: CSTGX combines the “three rings” of Circular Strength Training - mobility, club swinging and yoga - into one follow-along class with 3 levels of sophistication.
  • Ageless Mobility Group Exercise Instructor: A stand-out class which showcases the union of mobility and yoga, created to compensate for daily life, athletics and trauma. A mind-body approach
  • Intu-Flow Mobility Longevity Teacher: Originally designed for chiropractors, physical and massage therapists, and bodyworkers to provide a new lens on prehabilitative and post-habilitative health, and prevent the cause of rehabilitation or relapse/reinjury.
  • RMAX Kettlebell Foundation Coach: Circular Strength Training can be applied to other modalities, such as Russian kettlebell lifting. An RMAX Kettlebell Coach provides tested efficient technique education, program design and training protocols, including breathing techniques, mobility warm-up and compensatory cool-down programs.
  • Prasara Body-Flow Yoga Instructor: The Prasara Body-Flow Instructor teaches the graceful union of Asana (structural integration) with Pranayama (breath) together to form Vinyasa (or breath-linking) together to open the 3rd modality of hatha yoga: Prasara, or “flow without thought.”
  • CST Bodyweight Exercise Instructor: As a movement specialist, Circular Strength Training Bodyweight Exercise Instructors teach the CST method through the lens of “animal” and other functional fitness movements deriving from Persian zurkhane (or “house of power”), Indian vyayam (yoga’s evil twin), Russian zdorovye (from Russian and Cossack dance and martial arts).
  • FlowFit Group Exercise Instructor: FlowFit Group Exercise Instructors teach a follow-along program deriving from the influence of the “5 Tibetans” combined with Scott Sonnon’s coaching with the Russian national coaches and scientists in stress physiology. Seven exercises, with four levels, elicit a biochemical adaptation improving conditioning and bolstering immuno-function.

“I am a strength coach specializing in athletic and close combat preparation. With over 24 years as a coach and instructor I have studied a multitude of “systems” in strength conditioning as well as martial arts.

I first became aware of Scott Sonnon about 6 years ago and began studying his teachings. Upon applying these teachings first to my own training and eventually to that of my students and clients I have experienced what separates Coach Sonnon from other authorities in our field. Coach Sonnon’s conveyance of vital information is both extremely thorough and challenging to our traditional way of approaching physical preparation. To be humble, I also realized that much of my entire lifetime of training was missing some key ingredients.

Scott’s teachings are meant to inspire his students to an inner investigation that first reveals hidden hindrances and then removes impairments to optimal performance. Optimal performance need not be “developed” but uncovered and unleashed. Emphasis on effort leads to internal and external fatigue and mechanical breakdown. Scott’s guidance is from the inside out which is where everyone’s optimal performance originates.

In my opinion, applying Scott’s Freedom from Fear Reactivity principles to every area of your life (actually in every breath you take) is the foundation to success in every area of your life no matter if you are a professional athlete, business person, martial artist, homemaker, or combat soldier.

Coach Sonnon can have a tremendous impact on your life that far excedes the gym, field, mat, ring, or anywhere you call your specific arena of competition. Applying Scott’s teachings will have you understanding that everywhere you are in your “arena” of excellence.”
