What is Revelation Wellness Instructor Training?
Revelation Wellness Instructor Training equips and sends disciples of Jesus to live healthy, whole, and integrated lives—body, mind, soul, and Spirit.
Revelation Wellness believes that every body holds a story (good or bad). Our instructors are passionate about helping people embrace their stories as they move towards physical and spiritual health, healing, and wholeness. Because how we move our bodies reflects what we believe in our hearts, movement becomes an act of worship, not shame.
Instructors are trained to create Spirit-led spaces where people can love God, get healthy, be whole, and love others—becoming who they were made to be, far beyond a number on the scale, their age, or pants size.
Instructors learn how to teach a safe and effective Revelation Fitness class where physical movement becomes a get-to and not a have-to. Instructors also become certified facilitators of The Wellness Revelation, an 8-week book study designed to help people lose what weighs them down so they are free to love God, themselves, and others.
Whether moving people in a Revelation Fitness class or leading them through The Wellness Revelation study, instructors are missionaries of hope in a dry and weary wellness world.
FROM BEGINNER TO seasoned professional, Instructor Training is foR ANYONE who:
» Knows who they are in Christ—a loved and wanted child of God, being transformed by the renewing of their mind.
» Believes the Gospel is a message of wholeness to love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength.
»Desires to bring fresh vision, voice, and hope into the fitness and wellness world, showing that healthy living is about more than food or fitness alone.
» Understands the human struggle to either obsess over or neglect our bodies and trusts God’s grace to bring balance and freedom.
» Believes freedom in Christ leads to freedom for others, and wants to help people live in that total freedom.
» Trusts God’s calling and celebrates His creativity—knowing He qualifies the called and delights in health and beauty expressed through every shape, size, color, and age.
COMMITMENT
Instructor candidates must be committed to:
» The Christian faith
» Following and abiding in Christ and living a Spirit-led life
» Standing firm and pressing on through fear and opposition by relying on His strength.
» Following all brand guidelines and requirements while using Revelation Wellness tools and resources while
» Abiding by the Revelation Wellness Instructor Leadership Covenant
TIME COMMITMENT
Time commitments vary by student and include: Bible study, video tutorials, reading and study, and a weekly 2-hour live Zoom class.
HOME BIBLE STUDY
We’ll study the book of Nehemiah—a faithful leader who sought, served, and loved God with a heart for restoration. Each week, you’ll complete your self-study at home and come to the online class ready to share what you’ve learned.
WEEKLY WEBINAR/SMALL GROUPS
We meet weekly for a 2-hour live webinar on Zoom (free to use). The training includes 9 sessions plus an introductory week, for a total of 10 weeks.
Each week, we review the Bible study, discuss The Wellness Revelation curriculum, and explore how to apply faith-based fitness in real-life settings. You’ll also connect with your Small Group to go deeper, share what God is revealing, and build authentic community.
WEEKLY VIDEO TUTORIALS
You will watch weekly tutorial videos led by Alisa Keeton and a team of Lead Instructors. These videos will provide an in-depth review of key elements of teaching group fitness classes. You will need a good internet connection for the best experience.
WEEKLY EXERCISE + NUTRITION
We must practice what we are being called to teach. Each student commits to moving 4–6 times per week and making mindful, healthy food choices. During training, you’ll be invited to rethink what you know about fitness and nutrition as you grow in God’s love and the truth of His Word.
Reading + Journaling
One of the most important parts of preparing for your calling is making time to be still with God. Every instructor in training is encouraged to be a person of prayer during and after certification. If you don’t already have a prayer practice, start now—set aside 5–10 minutes each day to “be still and know” (Psalm 46:10).

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Revelation Fitness a certain style of movement?
Nope. We wouldn’t dare box you in like that! By coming through Instructor Training, you will discover how YOU were created to move and then learn how to communicate and motivate that type of movement to others. Some people are more athletic in movement, and some enjoy moving with the beat. Through training, you will learn how to lead others in a safe, effective, and powerful way, leaving your students feeling successful and encouraged to be who they were created to be and move as they were created to move!
WHY IS THIS PROGRAM NINE WEEKS LONG WHEN MOST FITNESS CERTIFICATIONS HAPPEN IN A ONE OR TWO-DAY TIME PERIOD?
Because the Lord has called Revelation Wellness to go deep. As comprehensive and thorough as this program is, we just couldn’t get to the deep heart work that God wants us to do in a couple of days. God is not in a rush with us, and neither are we with you. Plus, we really value community here. We want to know you, and we want you to be known. God is raising up an army—people who refuse to turn back when the going gets tough! Like a platoon spends time in boot camp together before they head off to battle, we want to spend time with you! The 9-week training program, along with the retreat, will change your heart forever and link you with like-minded and like-hearted people for the rest of your faith-pursuing life.
How do I know if I have been called to teach Revelation Wellness?
You know you have been called when you just can’t stop thinking about it. Revelation Wellness is God’s ministry. He is jealous for fitness and wellness and is calling you to help lead others into freedom as you yourself become more free. God never calls the equipped. He equips the called.
What if I am brand new to fitness myself? Do I need to be in better shape to become a Revelation Wellness Instructor?
We hear this one a lot. If you’re new to fitness, you’re in the right place! In fact, this is the perfect time for you to grow your roots firmly in the love of God. Without God, our fitness/health can easily become the thing we think we have control over. We’re not interested in pumping out cookie-cutter fitness instructors who have “perfect” bodies. We believe that health comes in all shapes and sizes! You were fearfully and wonderfully made!
Where can I use this certification and Training?
ChatGPT said:
I'm already a certified fitness instructor. What does this program have to offer me that I don't already know?

Through this training, you’ll learn how to help others biblically and holistically—addressing the roots of body image and weight struggles with grace and truth.

Revelation Wellness training is the most comprehensive and complete fitness training available to date. Upon completion of this program, you will be thoroughly equipped to teach.

Do I get ongoing support after the completion of training?

Are there requirements to maintain my Revelation Wellness Instructor certification?
Yes, there is a monthly membership fee to maintain your certification and gain access to the instructor resources and ongoing community support.
Am I required to obtain my CPR certification before the Revelation Wellness Instructor retreat intensive?

Testimonies
“God brought confidence where I was lacking and reminded me over & over again of my true identity — His daughter who He deeply loves and who is enough. I can say without hesitation that completing training was one of the most impactful things I’ve ever done — not just for me but for my family & the community around me.”
KATHLEEN MCFARLAND
“Instructor Training changed my life forever. The most unexpected blessing was the FREEDOM I found. I thought I was truly free before I started, but God met me in a way I never experienced. He left me wrecked! If you are on the fence about whether or not to take the plunge, I want to encourage you that it is ALL worth it!”
MAEGEN KRUEGER
“My yes to becoming a fitness teacher gospel preacher was also my surrender to God. My fear kept me watching Rev Well from the sidelines for two years! My yes gave me broken chains and peace. Give God your yes! He is the cornerstone to build you up!”
BECKY PFENENGER
“Even though I’ve been in full-time ministry for years, through instructor training I realized I had scars & pain that had hardened my heart. I was doing things just because someone had to do them, but without love & without God. Bitterness & anger were building up in me. But God brought healing & freedom. He opened my eyes to see and my ears to hear His invitation to receive mercy & grace. I want to extend God´s invitation to get free and stay free to others in my community in Mexico City with a soft and joyful heart!”
