Want to set yourself apart as a true fitness professional?

Those who hold the Certified CrossFit Trainer (CCFT)/CF-L3 credential have demonstrated advanced CrossFit knowledge and committed to a long-term standard of accountability.

Sean Lind of CrossFit Vic City in Victoria, British Columbia, shares his thoughts and experiences as he prepares to take the CCFT/CF-L3 exam.

Lind works hard to make sure he’s equipped to help his clients reach their goals, and after earning CrossFit Level 1 and Level 2 credentials, Lind wants to make sure he doesn’t plateau as a coach.

“The Level 1 is a stepping stone,” he explains. “It gets you through the door.”

The second tier requires mastery of a much larger body of knowledge.

“It’s like drinking water from a fire hose,” he says of the information delivered at the Level 2 Certificate Course.

The Level 3 demands even more, and in the lead-up his exam, Lind sets aside time every day to read, re-read and watch CrossFit’s instructional material.

Lind says he wants to show his clients he’s serious about his profession.

“If I think I know everything, then I’ve failed as a coach,” he explains. “There’s always something to do. There’s always something to learn.”
