Why Runway Training Goes Beyond Level 3
Accredited. Comprehensive. Studio-Ready.
Level 3 training is an important and respected benchmark within the movement and fitness industry. It establishes essential knowledge, provides a recognised qualification, and creates a pathway into teaching. At Runway, we honour the Level 3 standard as a foundation—but we also recognise its limitations.
Because meeting the minimum requirements is not the same as being fully prepared to teach with confidence, creativity, and professionalism in a real studio environment.
Runway exists to bridge that gap.
Level 3 Is the Foundation. Runway Builds the Full Picture.
Level 3 training delivers the fundamentals required to qualify as an instructor. It introduces technique, basic programming, and essential safety principles. This foundation matters—and we respect it.
Runway builds beyond that baseline with a comprehensive training model that develops not just technical knowledge, but teaching skill, professional confidence, and real-world readiness. Where Level 3 teaches what to teach, Runway focuses deeply on how to teach, why movement works, and how to adapt it for real bodies in real studios.
More Time. More Practice. More Confidence.
One of the biggest differences between Level 3 and Runway training is time.
Level 3 focuses on essential foundations.
Runway delivers over 100 hours of in-depth coaching, supported by guided practice, feedback, and real client experience.
This extended time on the floor allows skills to develop properly. Teaching confidence doesn’t come from watching or memorising—it comes from repetition, refinement, and learning through experience. With Runway, knowledge becomes instinct.
Teaching the Whole System, Not Just the Basics
Runway training is designed as a complete system, not a checklist.
Students move through:
Classical repertoire
Contemporary variations
Advanced sequences
Runway signature flows
You’ll learn classical foundations, explore modern interpretations, and develop creative layering skills that allow you to build intelligent, engaging classes. Rather than relying on pre-set formulas, you graduate with the ability to programme thoughtfully, adapt confidently, and teach with clarity from day one.
Technique Is Taught. Teaching Is Crafted.
Knowing how to perform movements is only one part of becoming a great teacher. Teaching itself is a skill—and it must be developed deliberately.
Runway places strong emphasis on:
Clear, effective cueing
Intelligent sequencing and transitions
Hands-on correction
Teaching presence and confidence
We focus on communication, observation, and leadership, helping you understand not just how movement works, but how to guide others through it safely and effectively.
Confidence Comes From Doing the Work
True confidence cannot be learned in theory alone.
Runway students teach real classes, with real clients, in real studio environments. This practical experience is woven throughout the training, so by the time you qualify, teaching no longer feels hypothetical—it feels familiar.
You don’t leave wondering if you’re ready. You already know you are.
A Certification Studios Trust
Runway certification signals a higher level of professional preparation. It reflects advanced training, confident teaching ability, intelligent programming, and real studio experience.
Studios recognise this difference. They know that Runway graduates arrive prepared, adaptable, and capable of contributing immediately.
Studios Recognise the Runway Difference
Our graduates are consistently hired for their technical skill, creative thinking, and calm, studio-ready confidence. They bring more than a qualification—they bring presence, professionalism, and depth.
Level 3 Creates Instructors. Runway Creates Teachers.
We respect the industry standard.
We build beyond it.
And we elevate the profession as a whole.
