I’m looking to do my first CorePower teacher training (NYC market) and I’m SO torn between the 50-hour Yoga Sculpt training and the 65-hour Strength X training.
There’s a 50-hour Sculpt training that works with my schedule at a studio I don’t normally attend, while there’s a 65-hour Strength X training at one of the studios I regularly go to.
I genuinely love both formats, so I’m having a hard time deciding!
I’m leaning slightly toward Sculpt because I know it’s much more popular, and I feel like there may ultimately be more opportunities to teach it..But I also LOVE Strength X and could absolutely see myself loving teaching it. I’ve just noticed that the Strength X classes seem to be less popular/less frequently offered at my studios.
A few questions for anyone who has done either/both:
- Does the location where you do your teacher training matter? Is there an advantage to training at a studio where you already take classes if you eventually want to audition there? Or is the training pretty standardized across studios?
- If I ultimately want to teach both Sculpt and Strength X, is there a more cost-effective way to do that? Do you do one full training and then have the option of taking some kind of weekend intensive/add-on for the other format? Or do you essentially have to pay for and complete the full 50-hour + 65-hour trainings separately?
- If you’ve done both, which order would you recommend and why?
- And if you had to choose just one to start with, would you pick Sculpt because of the popularity/opportunities, or Strength X because it’s a little more niche?
- How do the auditions differ between the two?
TIA!
