Wavemakers Pro

Teach classes with less prep & more impact.

The Spring Cohort begins April 1

You don't 'just lead workouts'...

You read bodies.
You notice hesitation.
You adjust in real-time.
You support people through pain, fatigue, fear and progress.

You care about doing this well.

But somedays you still wonder:

❓Am I cueing the right thing?
❓Is this actually helping them outside the pool?
❓Why does planning take this long?
❓How do I challenge stronger students, without losing the rest?

You don’t need more choreography.

You need simpler ways to plan, sharper observation skills, and the right support to strengthen your coaching leadership.

That’s what Wavemakers Pro is for.

What is Wavemakers Pro?

Wavemakers Pro is a professional learning community for fitness professionals who want to:

Teach with more clarity
Adapt in real time
Reduce planning fatigue
Help movement transfer to real life

It’s mentorship-level guidance inside a supportive community who care about doing this work well.

No scripts. No rigid formulas. No performative “perfect” teaching.

Just structure, support, and skill-building that simplifies planning and helps you trust what you see.

Inside Pro, You'll Strengthen Three Coaching Skills

Over six months, you develop the full range of coaching instincts that matter most.

The Movement Detective

You’ll notice patterns before problems show up.
You’ll measure effort by feel — no more guesswork.
You’ll respond without overcorrecting or overwhelming.

The Movement Artist

You’ll adapt creatively without rewriting the whole class.
You’ll vary intensity without losing structure.
You’ll keep things fresh without chasing novelty.

The Movement Scientist

You’ll understand why something works — and when it’s working.
You’ll know how to put research to practice.
You’ll trust your decisions.

This isn’t about becoming someone new.

It’s about refining how you see, respond, and coach, so your expertise translates into consistent results for everyone in your classes.

Spring 2026 Theme — Move Well Today

Many instructors come to Pro because their students are saying things like:

👉 “Pain shows up out of nowhere.”
👉 “Side-to-side movements feel risky.”
👉 “My balance feels unreliable.”

Inside Pro, you learn how to coach movement so it functions better — not just looks better .

When you apply these tools consistently, students begin to notice:

Balance stabilizes more quickly
Strength shows up outside of class
Recovery happens faster when something feels off.

Not perfect movement, or fixing everything at once.

Just better movement today that carries forward into real life.

“It’s simple and my students feel so much stronger. I have a student who’s 90 and she always had an injection for shoulder pain – this year she didn’t need it.”

– Chris D., Florida

“It takes my creativity to a whole new level. The immediate impact of using the 6-7 formula in my land and water classes is that everybody got it. They could feel it.”

Linda S. - Georgia

“I can adapt the formula to any move and any choreography. It’s so fun to watch students go, a-ha, I can do this. And I’m strong.”

Frequently Asked Questions

What if I’ve already taken the course?

Perfect—and expected. April becomes a month of integration as you apply the framework through
Templates, One Focus Weekly, and meetups in real time.

What if I’m newer to coaching?

Pro is designed for all levels. You’ll build confidence through use—seeing how small coaching choices
change how movement feels—while being supported by mentors and community.

What if my classes are mixed ability?

That’s exactly what Pro is built for. You’ll learn how to coach individuals inside group settings—without
splitting the class or overcomplicating the workout.

Wavemakers Pro isn’t about giving you more to do.
