New for 2025 – There are now two paths to earn a CrossFit Level 2 Trainer Certificate: the standard two-day in-person seminar and a hybrid option — a one-day in-person seminar and an online course. Read more below to discover which experience is right for you.
INSIDE THE LEVEL 2 COURSE
The CrossFit Level 2 Certificate Course builds on the concepts and movements introduced at the Level 1. This course is ideally suited for any CrossFit trainer serious about delivering quality coaching.
Level 2 participants enhance their understanding of the CrossFit methodology, program design, and implementation. They also advance their skills while coaching others in movements and workouts.
There are two days of classroom work, one-on-one training, and group sessions. Participants should come prepared to be deeply engaged. Classroom sessions are discussion-based, and each student will lead individual and small group sessions. Peers and instructors provide guidance and feedback throughout the weekend.
Effective May 1, 2024 Level 2 trainers may no longer attend the Online Level 1 to revalidate a CF-L2 credential. L2 trainers seeking to revalidate their credential must attend the Level 2 Certificate Course or apply to take the Certified CrossFit Trainer exam.
In addition to our regularly scheduled CrossFit Level 1 and CrossFit Level 2 Courses, we also offer private CrossFit courses. Visit this page to learn how to host a private Level 1 or Level 2 for your organization.
CrossFit, LLC is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education for physicians.
CROSSFIT LEVEL 2 COURSE OPTIONS
LEVEL 2 COURSE (Two-Day In-Person Course)
The two-day in-person Level 2 Course includes two days of interactive lectures, one-on-one training, and small-group coaching sessions. Classroom sessions will be discussion-based, and each student will lead individual and small group sessions.
HYBRID LEVEL 2 COURSE
The Hybrid Level 2 was developed to offer more flexibility by providing the option to complete an online course at your own pace followed by a one-day, in-person practical focused on coaching skills. Both the online and one-day in-person components cover all of the same topics as the two-day in-person course.
