MENTORSHIP
BASED
CERTIFICATION
PROGRAM
The mentor certification program is for experienced trainers and physical therapists (mentors) to scale their independent businesses. Each mentor will be paired with an ambitious trainer/physical therapist (mentee) who will go through a 1-year experiential certification program led by their mentor. The result of the program will be mentees training clients referred by mentors.
MENTOR'S ROLE
WHO ARE THE MENTORS?
- Experienced personal trainers and physical therapists who are running their own independent businesses.
- They are fully booked and have more referrals than they can handle.
- They have connections with top brands and a network of referring professionals (ex: orthopedics, head professional team trainers, sports agents, fellow physical therapists/trainers, etc.).
- They're passionately on the cutting edge, tirelessly diving into exercise science, rehabilitation, and longevity to grow professionally and personally.
WHY BECOME A MENTOR?
- In exchange for training and mentoring ambitious trainers and therapists, mentors receive a team member that can work with their referrals. This program allows trainers and therapists the opportunity to scale and grow their businesses!
- A great way to continue your education and increase your credibility is to teach. This program allows established trainers and therapists to meet ambitious professionals with different perspectives who will challenge and refine their methods.
- This program will expand the network of established trainers. There will be invaluable learning, networking, and access to like-minded peers, partners, and future clients.
WHAT IS THE END GOAL?
- Ideally, the mentees train their mentor’s referring clients for 2-3 years. Mentees can go independent at any time, but business ownership is not for everyone, and some mentees will take the opportunity to partner with a mentor and train their referral clients with no goal of ever going independent. Both routes are okay!
MENTEE'S ROLE
WHO ARE THE MENTEES?
- Ambitious professionals fresh out of school or early in their careers working for a gym or at a clinic (there is no age limit).
- They have a growth mindset and live, eat, and breathe exercise science, rehabilitation, and overall health.
- They relish the opportunity to learn from an established expert trainer/therapist, and they thrive in an entrepreneurial setting vs. working in a corporate setting.
WHY BECOME A MENTEE?
- Mentees receive hands-on mentoring and training based specifically on proven methods directly from a successful trainer/therapist. There is no cost to this program.
- In exchange for learning and studying their mentor’s methods, mentees will be funneled their mentor’s referral clients and earn a percentage of the client fees. Each mentor’s goal is to pass down 20+ client sessions per week.
- Mentees will gain access to training clients and themselves at Maverick’s West Hollywood facility, a top-of-the-line facility filled with the most scientifically advanced equipment in Los Angeles.
- In summary, mentees are paid to receive training from a mentor at the top of their field (indirectly paid by the mentor’s referral clients). This program is not just another certification to check off a list; it offers hands-on experience that can elevate mentees to a new level or simply provide a mentee with a great living without the corporate setting.
WHAT DOES THE MENTOR CERTIFICATION PROGRAM LOOK LIKE?
- Mentors will have their own custom program, but each will follow a similar structure:
- 1 one-on-one in-person meeting per week for 3 months. These meetings will involve everything from learning key principles that drive the mentor’s business to discussing how to build programs to learning about the business side of going independent (pricing, client communication, tech, etc.).
- Meetings will move from every week to every month for the last 9 months (for a total program length of 1 year).
- Mentees will be allowed to start earning money training their mentor’s referral clients at the discretion of the mentor. Typically this happens within 1-3 months.
- Shadow client sessions: mentees will have the ability to shadow their mentor’s client sessions (depending on if the mentor’s client opts in). This may be less likely for personal trainers where shadowing clients is not as common.
MAVERICK'S ROLE
HOW IS MAVERICK INVOLVED?
- We recruit, filter, vet, and match applying mentees with mentors based on mentor and mentee preferences (ex: a mentor with the desire to work with a mentee passionate about athletics or a mentee with the desire to work with a mentor with a kinesiology degree).
- We provide business mentorship and certifications to offer additional guidance (such as MindSize, a mindset training program designed for athletes, and workshops focused on pricing structure, marketing, network building, client retention, finance + budgeting, taxes, etc.).
- We partner with software companies to make the training and communication between mentor and mentee easy (ex: training programs and certifications, tracking clients that are passed down, etc.).
