Coaching What’s Real: How Two New Certifications Turn Movement into Results

Credential Courses Based on the Movements of Real Life and Sport

Jordan is a movement coach who cares about results. But a few months ago, progress had stalled. Clients moved well in the gym—but didn’t feel better at work, on the trail, or on the course. The missing link? Their training didn’t mirror real life.

Enter two new certifications that start with how people actually move:

• 3D Functional Movement Coach (3DFMC)
  Grounded in Applied Functional Science® and powered by 3DMAPS®, 3DFMC organizes movement into logical, three-plane progressions—Foundational, Local, and Global; Mobility to Stability to Mostability—so coaching is clear, personalized, and purposeful. The Coach Portal makes it simple to send programs and track progress.

• 3D Functional Golf Coach (3DFGC)
  In collaboration with the Golf Fitness Association of America, 3DFGC connects human movement with the biomechanics of the golf swing—Address, Backswing, Impact, and Finish—so players build mobility, stability, and power where it matters. It’s authentic, 3D coaching for golfers who want to move better and play longer.

Both courses blend the biological, physical, and behavioral sciences to give coaches, trainers, and therapists a litmus test for what’s truly functional—and a shared language to progress any client. That behavioral piece matters, too! When sessions are relevant, clients engage; when wins stack early, they’re encouraged; and when they feel ownership, they’re empowered.

And Jordan? Within weeks, desk-bound clients reported less stiffness during long days, runners felt smoother on hills, and golfers found contact and control through impact. The difference? Movement that looks and feels like life, not just exercise.
