What is HotCore?
This 30 minute class structure uses fluid drag to activate the inner and outer units of the core - giving you form, function and look. Class sequencing is broken into High Intensity or Work Interval using variations of plank-based core movement. Low Intensity or Stretch Intervals seamlessly transition into static yoga or functional movements to counterstretch and provide muscle lengthening. Students wear socks to complete this class, which should be done on wood, marley or tile and not carpet. The fluid drag movement is created by the socks moving across the floor, through space in specific movement patterns from a variation of hand, foot and hip positions. This class format is ideal for instructors looking to add Abs-based 20-30 minute Group Fitness session onto their schedule. This class is abs-olutely challenging but can be modified in intensity and body positioning to be accessible to all skill levels.
What to Expect?
Online Certification is a life-changing experience. You’ll work hard, push yourself through physical and emotional barriers and connect with other students via Zoom who will become lifelong friends. Training days run approximately 8-10 hours depending on the group size. Every trainee will be required to do a class demonstration following the specific guidelines and rubric presented in training. This will include crafting an entire 4 round class sequence written and demonstrating 1 full round to your instructor via Zoom.
Come prepared to work hard. Bring hydration and snacks to keep your energy up. Also, be sure to bring a device where you can download and make playlists. Be ready to be open, connect with your fellow teacher trainees and embark on a new phase of your journey that will most certainly change the rest of your life. Welcome HOME. You belong here.
Investment
HotCore trainings are $399. We have partnered with Affirm to offer up to 0% APR financing for those who qualify. Affirm will assume responsibility for collecting installments. All Affirm order will be documented as paid in full at the time of purchase and are non refundable. If your application is rejected by Affirm, we will set up a custom payment plan with you to be sure you can attend. We do ask that you try through Affirm first. We will check your application status and need to see it as rejected before we can set up a custom invoice. Please email: connect@thebutimovement.com if your application has been rejected and you need a custom invoice.
Certification does require the signing of a license agreement and a monthly Instructor Tools fee to keep your certification active. License Agreements are sent out to you before your training through SignEasy. This agreement protects the format and all the hardworking, passionate individuals who teach it to ensure people don’t go around copying what we do. In that way, it protects the value of what you’re investing in through training.
Your monthly fee can be paid quarterly or annually at a discount. It includes access to our entire video streaming platform (for non-instructors typically $39.99) with over 600 full length workouts and monthly instructor tools to keep you inspired, learning about new music and building progression in your teaching. If you're already subscribed to Instructor Tools, no need to do it again. You only need to pay one monthly fee to cover all Buti® formats. If you let your Instructor Tools fee lapse - no big deal - you can always rejoin at any time. Just keep in mind that when your fee lapses, so does your certification. As long as you are not teaching at that time, you’re in good standing. Just be sure to reactivate when you are actively teaching. But let’s be honest - even if you’re not, we know you want the discount on the Buti workouts online.
