NIM In-Person Trainer Certification

Your qualification as a movement expert

The NIM in-person trainer certifications are filled with extensive anatomical knowledge.

Since 2018, NIM trainer certifications have been available in Germany, Switzerland, and Austria. More than 100 certified NIM trainers have successfully integrated their expertise into courses and personal training sessions, sharing the method with a growing community.

To organize a NIM training at your location, simply gather a group of 6 to 15 participants, and Christiane Figura will lead the training at your preferred venue.

The NIM certification takes place in three modules: NIM Basic, NIM Advanced, and NIM Master Trainer, each lasting 20 hours.
(NIM Basic and Advanced: 6-8 hours online beforehand and 2 in-person days, or 2.5 in-person days without the online part; NIM Master: 2.5 in-person days).
Cost: 495€/module

You can also complete the entire NIM Basic and NIM Advanced certification online, allowing you to access the NIM content step by step, at your own pace, and from your desired location.
Cost: 349€/module

If you have a physiotherapy qualification, a sports science degree, a Trainer B-license, or a yoga or Pilates certification, you’ll have the opportunity to teach NIM courses at the respective levels and possibly even continue along the NIM certification path to train future NIM trainers yourself.

However, you can also take the individual NIM certification modules for personal use, without prior qualification, and benefit from the unique movement quality, content, and joy of the thoughtfully structured exercises taught during the training.

NIM Basic Trainer Certification

The NIM Basic Trainer Certification provides a comprehensive introduction to the fundamentals of NIM movement science. This includes proper anatomical alignment, ensuring the spine is positioned correctly in standing posture. From this foundation, all core positions are systematically trained, keeping the core muscles and pelvic floor engaged while ensuring that all joints are optimally aligned for functional movement.

The program covers all 28 NIM Basic exercises, designed for rehabilitation clients, new mothers, beginners, and seniors, serving as a strong foundation for your NIM journey. You will learn how to tailor NIM Basic classes to different target groups, making workouts both challenging and adaptable.

NIM Basic exercises sessions can be highly demanding while still allowing for adjustments based on individual needs and physical conditions. Upon completion, you will receive a certification authorizing you to teach NIM Basic courses. Additionally, you’ll gain six months of access to the full NIM Basic Online Training, including instructional videos and a detailed training manual to deepen your knowledge.

NIM Advanced Trainer Certification

The NIM Advanced Trainer Certification (for graduates of the NIM Basic Trainer Certification) is designed to deepen your knowledge, expand exercise variations for different levels and conditions, and refine exercise selection for various NIM training sessions. A solid understanding of NIM Basic exercises and prior teaching experience is recommended.

The 24 NIM Advanced exercises are physically demanding, yet as a NIM trainer, you will learn to adapt the intensity according to the NIM principles — finding the right level for yourself and your participants. This certification also includes a dedicated module on NIM Personal Training, equipping you with the tools to effectively tailor one-on-one sessions based on each client’s needs and abilities.

At the end of the program, you will complete a practical assessment based on the comprehensive training manual and instructional videos. Upon passing, you will receive a certification authorizing you to teach NIM Advanced courses. Additionally, you will gain six months of access to the NIM Advanced Online Training, allowing you to deepen your expertise at any time.

NIM Master Certification

The NIM Master Certification is the pinnacle of your journey as a NIM Trainer. You have been teaching NIM courses for some time, have mastered the NIM concept and its exercises, and may now be looking to train future NIM instructors.

This two-and-a-half-day training focuses on teaching mastery, refining your cueing, instruction, movement execution, and class structure. You will receive detailed feedback on your personal NIM teaching style, present your own NIM flows, and fine-tune your coaching techniques. A practical assessment will evaluate your NIM teaching skills. Upon successful completion and after working closely with Christiane Figura you may be eligible to train and certify future NIM instructors.
