What is the Working Against Gravity Certification?

There’s a huge difference between information and transformation.

At Working Against Gravity, we give our certified coaches both the knowledge they need and the tools to implement it for the people they seek to serve.

Our mission is simple: we want to help people lose weight, gain muscle, increase performance and feel better than ever through the power of customized, one-on-one nutrition coaching.

If you want that, too, then our certification program is your one-stop-shop for making it happen.

Life is more than food, but proper nutrition plays a huge role in every facet of a person’s well-being (and we’ve got more than 25,000 members who can attest). We’ll teach you our individualized, macro-focused method for results that last – not just in you and your client’s physical bodies, but in your mental and emotional selves, as well.

We teach you to uncover the knowledge, control and confidence – deeply buried but inherent in all of us – necessary to empower each client’s body and mind, so that you can help them trade short-term “fixes” for long-term fulfillment.

What the Graduates Say

Working Against Gravity’s philosophy is the perfect blend of a data-driven, macro-counting approach to nutrition, combined with habit-based coaching. In the past, I felt limited in my ability to help clients with nutrition. All of the "nutrition gurus" want to make you believe that you have to fall into a certain camp and follow specific rules.

After taking the WAG coaching certification, I feel empowered with the knowledge I’ve gained about the principles behind successful nutrition coaching. I am no longer trying to fit the client to the nutrition approach. I am now fitting the nutrition approach to the client.

Nick WAG Cert Graduate

I feel confident that I can write a nutrition plan for a client that will help them see results. I loved that there were plenty of opportunities to practice assigning macros, making adjustments, and writing effective messages to clients. Getting feedback from a real person on these responses was my favorite aspect of the course!

My favorite part of the course by far was the feedback from our coach support! I struggle so much with confidence, so having her tell me I did well always made my day. It showed me that I CAN actually do this! And sometimes it also helped shed light on things I hadn't considered, which will only help me in the future.

Kathy S. WAG Cert Graduate

I felt like I had a good base knowledge around nutrition and coaching, but wanted a certification to back my name. I was really impressed with the depth of content that the course covered and was excited to learn some new information or approaches. Coaching clients is the step I'm heading towards.

I was really impressed with how much focus there was on actually coaching a client rather than just prescribing. I love that WAG isn't afraid to work with pregnant women, people with a history of eating disorders or people who are choosing keto diets. I think all of the information regarding those subgroups was extremely valuable and helped make me more confident in being able to reach a vast range of people.

An Empathetic Approach.

We don’t teach anything we haven’t learned, and every single WAG Coach was once a student. We understand the vulnerability it takes for someone to admit they’re in need. Successful nutrition coaching isn’t just academic – it’s inventive and discerning. Sure, we’ll teach you the science, but we’ll also help you navigate emotional waters to coach your clients toward success.

Pertinent Psychology.

It has been said that “a better life starts in the mind,” and you won’t get far with your clients without their belief in their ability to change. Most diets fail not because they don’t work — but because people don’t stick to them. Through the WAG Certification, you’ll learn a unique approach to self development by helping them connect the dots between what they eat and what they believe.

The Course Curriculum: How it Works

We keep it simple: the entire WAG Certification course exists within our easy-to-use online platform. The curriculum is broken up into multiple phases, the first of which you’ll be given immediate access to following registration for the program, and each remaining phase is unlocked upon successful completion of the one before it.

Intro to Flexible Dieting and Nutrition Science

Learn from the best of the best in nutrition science and the people who put their knowledge to work. Here, you’ll have access to world-renowned research, and the opportunity to take full advantage of our library of reference material to use as you work with your own clients.

The WAG Knowledge Base: Understanding Clients and their Needs

Each person is unique, and “healthy nutrition” is not a one-size-fits-all prescription. Here, we take a deep-dive into our main focus area – macros. What are they, how do they work, and how do you assign them according to your client’s goals?

Creating Sample Profiles (Application)

Have you ever heard it said that knowledge is nothing without action? Here, you’ll put your learning to work through assigning macronutrient programs to variable client scenarios and connecting with us, personally, to discuss your philosophy and show us how you arrived at your conclusions.

WAG Level 2 Coaching Manual (Nutrition and Psychology)

Here, we focus largely on your approach to coaching clients successfully, which includes everything from when to speak and when to listen, motivation and mindfulness, and how to scale your own business while combating imposter syndrome, practicing self-care and time and energy management.

Sample Client Check-ins & Advanced, Challenging Scenarios

In the fifth and final stage of this program, you’ll have the opportunity to prove your unique ability to respond to client check-ins as though you were their coach, receive feedback from your certification administrator, and practice creative, personalized planning for the next stage of their journey.

Specialty Programs - Ketogenic Diet & Coaching Pregnant Women

Learn how to set macros for keto clients, train individuals in their diet and educate them about how to test ketones. Additionally, learn pregnancy physiology and trimester-specific, nutrition-rich recommendations for soon-to-be-moms so that you can properly support women to healthy pregnancies.

Bonuses for Enrollees

We love giving you a little something extra when you sign up for the WAG Nutrition Coach Certification. Think: additional learnings or chances to chat with our team! We're working on May 2022 bonuses right now so continue checking back. The best way to know when we announce the bonuses is to get on the waitlist!

Limited Availability

Because of our hands-on teaching approach (we use real mentors and instructors) and standards of excellence the WAG Certification will only be made available to a limited number of students at a time. What does that mean exactly?

When we’re out of space, we close the doors. Those of you who do make it into our program can expect the best of the best when it comes to your training. You’ll receive the same kind of one-on-one guide that all of our students have come to expect with WAG. (Plus, this’ll be way cheaper, way quicker and way more pragmatic than any standardized nutrition testing you’d receive in a traditional academic setting will).

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this certification course function off of a grading system?

No. We are dedicated to your successful completion of this course, and each coach / guide assigned to our students is there to ensure that all questions are answered, information is digested and implementation is practiced so that you are set up for success, and so that your clients are truly able to receive the instruction they need in order to get the results they deserve. The only way to “fail” is to quit.

How long does it take to get certified?

Everyone leads a different life, and everyone’s availability / opportunity for time investment is unique. The WAG Certification Program is an entirely self-paced curriculum, so that – similar to our coaching methodology – it works for you, specifically. That said, we have seen motivated students obtain their certification in as quickly as four weeks.

Do you offer a payment plan??

Yes! To make the Coach Certification more accessible, we now offer a Payment Plan. As of January 2021, you can choose to pay four equal installments of the full certification price over four months. The first installment is due upon signup.

Presale: $299 per payment
General Enrollment: $349 per payment

Does completing this course get me a job at WAG?

No. While completing this course is a prerequisite to becoming a coach at WAG, it does not guarantee that you will get a job. You are free to apply but please note that we only open a handful of coaching positions at WAG at a time.

Are there any physical textbooks or fine-print expenses that I'll need to purchase / consider?'

No. The WAG Certification Program is an entirely online/internet-based course curriculum. Through our platform, which we’ll give you access to upon registration, you’ll be able to study, take quizzes and personally interact with coaches who are available to help you along the way.

When does the certification expire and do we have to renew?

Your certification does not have a set date for renewal. Over time, as we update the course significantly, we will send out a notification to renew the certification which will be free of charge.

I have another question not listed here.
