CAWS creates content, courses and curriculums specific to the current needs of fitness professionals.  

The CAWS philosophy is to take the core principles from elite sport, science and medicine, and apply them to the education needs of commercial fitness. 

A contribution from every monthly subscription is reserved for projects for vulnerable groups, and rebuilding the fitness industry. To find out more about us contact [email protected] or learn more about the founders here.

A CAWS Membership will provide you full access to all CAWS Stage One Programmes: Rebuild™, Rebound™ and Fortitude™. 

Every CAWS Membership will unlock a ton of extra CAWS Member Benefits, including brand and other course discounts from CAWS partners. Download an up-to-date copy of all CAWS Member Benefits here.

The topics that we tackle in Rebuild™, Rebound™ and Fortitude™ are ever-changing and do not stand still. As such, we continue to update each programme every month with new and informed content, so that you can stay at the forefront of advanced practice 

Rebuild™ and Fortitude™ certifications both carry with them a multiple-choice question assessment. All Stage One Programmes and any assessments successfully completed, will develop your CAWS Coach Graduate status.

We mark the end of all CAWS programmes with a competition. While these are not compulsory to complete any programme, we encourage you to participate because they are a cornerstone of the CAWS community, and facilitate professional reflection and personal development. Outstanding coaches and client good news stories will be recognised.

A monthly memberships starts from £41.20 for an individual Coach Membership and from £83.00 for Club Memberships. Clubs who are ukactive members qualify for a 25% discount off their CAWS membership fee with coupon code UKACTIVE.

You will pay for your first month on the purchase page of the CAWS website. Thereafter, your monthly membership fee will be taken automatically on the same date of your original purchase each month, until you cancel your membership. For example, if you sign up on February 08, your next payment will automatically be taken on March 08.

CAWS is an accredited CIMSPA Training Provider. 

A CIMSPA training provider has their policies, education and training reviewed against professional standards in the sport, fitness, leisure, and physical activity sector. With a growing number of employers committing to only using CIMSPA recognised training, this provides a ‘stamp of approval’ for CAWS, our courses, and assurance for our members.

All CAWS programmes teach strategies and principles that you will become confident at adapting to any given client scenario.

Where possible we have suggested modifications to specific protocols you can make when you are training clients outside of the gym. This may be especially relevant under COVID-19 and Lockdown restrictions.

Over time you will become more confident at deciding necessary modifications you need to make for any situation to work for your client.  

Watch anywhere in the world, any time. 95% of the content in CAWS Stage One Programmes is video. Ranging from just minutes to an hour in length, we’ve designed the material to watch on the go, in the bath, sometimes at the desk and oftentimes in the gym. Provided you have internet access you can watch the programmes anytime on any device. All accompanying learning materials are downloadable for you to keep offline.

If you were to complete any CAWS Stage One Programme in a single sitting, you could complete the programme in under two days. However, we recommend absorbing the content in digestible bite-sized sittings, allowing you to go away and put the content in to practice. This will enhance your contextual understanding of the key concepts and principles.

When you graduate from any programme or assessment you successfully complete, you will be listed on the CAWS Registry of Graduates. CAWS will keep a record of all Rebuild™, Rebound™ and Fortitude™ graduate names and contact details. If an individual or organisation in your local area is seeking a CAWS Graduate with your skill set for support or service, we will alert you. It is our goal to grow the network of support for individuals across the world seeking your specialist skill set. CAWS will assume that all graduates are happy to appear on the CAWS Registry of Graduates unless you advise [email protected].

You may choose to keep your membership active once you have completed the core programmes as a useful resource to refer back to, and because all programmes are added to monthly with new and relevant updates, to inform and develop your practice. To maintain access to all content and retain all of your CAWS Member benefits and discounts, you should keep your membership live.

However, if you’re confident that you no longer need the content to refer back to, or you’d just like to take a break from our community you can cancel any time. If you would like to leave us for a while simply email [email protected] who will deactivate your membership.

You’re required to provide 30 days notice to cancel your membership. At the end of the 30 day period, we'll deactivate your membership and stop billing you. You'll be charged for our service for the 30 days from the date of your cancellation request. Once your account has been deactivated you will lose access to all current and future CAWS content but you will retain any certificates and CAWS Graduate status, which you will have earned.

If you are an individual self-employed or employed coach looking to acquire a CAWS membership for you, paid for by you and to keep with you as you develop in your career, select the I AM A COACH button on the homepage.

If you’re a club (fitness facility or employer of any kind) purchasing access to CAWS programmes on behalf of your employees, select the I AM A CLUB button on the homepage.
