Weekend Seminars — $799
Two Days Hands-On. A Career’s Worth of Confidence.
A 2-day, 10-hour, hands-on seminar at Life Time Fitness locations across the country. New trainers sharpen the skills that get them hired. Certified trainers earn 1.1 CEUs and level up their assessments, programming, pain management, and sales.
Three Seminars. Three Focuses.
Every seminar runs the same engine — assess, program with the Core / Core / Accessory (CCA) system taught at Show Up Fitness, get hands-on reps, and practice the sales conversations that turn skill into income. Pick the focus your practice needs most.

What Attendees Are Saying
Rated 5 out of 5
I showed up to the seminar in Miami and learned more in 2 days than my entry level certification I’d already purchased. I met so many awesome people and gained the confidence to get hired at Crunch!

If it wasn’t for Show Up Fitness, I would never have been hired at Lifetime and become a manager here. Highly recommend joining them!

Common Questions
How do I know if this seminar is right for me?
Two kinds of people show up. New trainers building the hands-on skills that get them hired — most pair the seminar with their SUF-CPT. And certified trainers (SUF, NASM, ACE, or ISSA) earning 1.1 CEUs while leveling up their assessments, programming, and sales. If you train people, or you’re about to, it’s for you.
Does the seminar make me a certified trainer?
No — certification comes from completing the SUF-CPT coursework and passing the live exam. The seminar is the hands-on side: two days of real practice under real coaches. The SUF-CPT + Seminar Bundle gets you both for $999.
Do I travel to attend? Where are these held?
Seminars are held at Life Time Fitness locations across the country, and new cities are added on a rolling basis. If there isn’t one near you, plan on travel — flights and lodging are on you, and most out-of-town attendees make a weekend of it. Pick the city and date that work for you.
What should I bring, and how do I prepare?
A notebook and pen, comfortable clothing suitable for hands-on training, a water bottle, plus snacks and lunch. All educational materials are provided. Beyond that: come ready to participate — this is two days of doing, not watching.
Are meals provided?
Meals aren’t provided, so bring your own snacks and lunch — the days are full and you’ll want the fuel.
What if I need to cancel my registration?
Cancel up to two weeks before the event for a full refund. Inside two weeks, you’ll receive a credit good for any future Show Up Fitness event.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes — you can pay over time with Affirm at checkout. A quick soft credit check (no impact to your score) shows the plans you qualify for.
Who are the instructors?
Seminars are led by Show Up Fitness founder Chris Hitchko alongside a team of seasoned professionals — certified instructors, DPTs, and working trainers from elite gyms. The lineup varies by city, and it’s always people who train clients for a living.
Ready to Get Hands-On?
Learn from working professionals, train alongside other trainers, and walk into Monday with skills you can sell. Seats are limited at every location.
Two days that pay for themselves.
