Join us for our upcoming Hot Sculpt Teacher Training, led by Kendra Thomas. This 20-hour program is designed for current yoga teachers, or related fitness professionals, who are interested in teaching Hot Sculpt classes at Heatwise.
Hot Sculpt classes incorporate light weights and resistance bands to target and strengthen specific muscle groups. What sets apart one sculpt class from the next is the instructor, their breadth of knowledge, and the intentionality of their sequencing. The more you know, the better you can help students grow stronger while keeping them safe from injury.
Whether you are hoping to teach Hot Sculpt or simply expand your personal knowledge of fitness and anatomy, this training will offer a comprehensive look at the body and its movements from a strength perspective. Through a mix of practice, lecture, partner work, and group discussion, our sessions will help you understand proper alignment and muscular engagement, and the ideal way to structure informed, engaging, and effective classes.
This training will take place over the course of June 2026, meeting for 3-4 hour sessions. Additionally, you will be required to take a minimum of 4 Hot Sculpt classes at Heatwise prior to completion of the training as well as participate in feedback post-class, discussing takeaways, critiques, etc. Upon completion of this training, you will have the opportunity to teach Hot Sculpt classes at Heatwise through the Freshly Baked program.
