Level 1 Expectations

Here’s what to expect over the 12 weeks and our expectations of you in order to have a great experience and earn your credential.

Weekly content will be unlocked every Sunday.
The first lesson of each week is your “Program of the Week”. Your instructors have created some fun ways to experience many of the methods and theories you’re learning week to week.
All lessons need to be "Marked as Read" to help you keep track of lessons you've completed and to earn your certificate. Videos must be viewed in their entirety to complete a lesson. As a side note, you can fast forward all videos. Allow the video to play out to the end and then you'll be able to "Mark as Read".
Weekly Discussion Forum can be accessed via the weekly curriculum and under "Community" in your dashboard

Weekly Webinars are pre-recorded sessions.
- Links to the webinar will be embedded in the curriculum each week.
- If you have questions you would like us to address in the webinar, drop them in the Questions Forum or you can send an email to dp@instituteofmotion.com
Community Workouts:
- In some weeks, you'll see a lesson titled Community Workout. You'll be able to watch virtual workouts we've conducted in the past to give you a sense of how we might program and coach an experience in a virtual environment.
- Workouts are completely optional, but may be insightful and a lot of fun!

A discussion forum Assignment will be posted weekly in the curriculum
Completion of the Weekly Assignment is optional but highly recommended for the best learning experience.
Our goal is to respond and provide feedback to all participants who submit their assignments/posts by Sunday of each week. If you respond late, chances are we may not have the time to provide you feedback. For example, if we are in week 4 as a cohort and you're just submitting your assignment for week 2, we may not respond to your post. However, if we're in week 4, and you submit your week 4 assignment by the end of week 4 (Sunday) we will respond to you!
Our feedback will provide you with learning insights relative to the programs/workouts you've created, giving you specific learning opportunities.
This is a judgement-free zone. Personal attacks or comments perceived to be negative will not be tolerated and you may be removed from the program with no refund.
Please keep the topics of your posts within the realm of health and fitness.
Please refrain from speaking ill of any other companies/people/products/services within the industry
Moderators of the forum are IoM coaches who will help to assist in your experience

Tutorials will be issued throughout the curriculum on how to get the most out of Program Builder
We will begin uploading exercises, build Working Blocks and Sessions in weeks 2-5. We will begin building Sessions and Programs in Weeks 6-11.
Technical issues around Program Builder can be sent to quentin@instituteofmotion.com
The Program Builder is an on-going development for us. We will be working on improving it throughout the duration of your experience so keep that in mind with any glitches or downtime you may experience.
You have FREE access to Program Builder for 4 months from the start of your cohort. Afterwards, you'll need a subscription. To learn more click here: https://instituteofmotion.com/program-builder/
If you’d like to contribute exercises to the IoM library, we will have an opportunity for you soon. Stay tuned!
If you’d like to partner/group up with professionals within your circle, we can create a specific account for you and your colleagues to share programs and exercises amongst each other. Reach out to DP to set up a team account.
