The "Body Map Assessment" has you looking at how you move and exist in the world with regards to your physical capacity and presence/ levels of pain (if any).

Following the questions below, score yourself according to the scale and your tally will be calculated. The resulting recommendations will be highlighted for you so you can make an informed choice as to which products, program and/or which level of activity will best suit.

CST is a Health First System. We acknowledge that most people are driven by aesthetics initially when it comes to exercising. We are also well aware that some people just need to be able to function at a pain free level or desire to enjoy life again without the need to therapy sessions or medication to enjoy the things they love.

CST AUS believes and knows this is possible!

CST system offers a lot; so jumping with what looks fun or is currently the most popular program MAY NOT be the most suitable program for you right now.

Do your own assessment here and we can then guide you as to which program and/or which type of trainer/ coach will best suit you right know considering your current physical situation.

Experience and knowledge do not have much to do with what your body NEEDS. We want you looking at this as the life change in regaining mobility-releasing painful physical restrictions and opening a body that is functional and energetic… medication free and pain free.

We want you to experience physical movement or therapy as a choice or a pleasurable experience rather than a necessity to get through the day-week-month.

CST AUS believes and knows this is possible! And we have the client success stories as a result.

Do your Body Map Assessment now and see where you can begin the path to a pain free body and life.

CST Instructor Certification

Minimum Physical Competency Expectations:

Intu-Flow® to the level of cardinal directions and circles, 14 minutes FlowFit® Level 3, and Clubbell® Trial by Fire with 10/15’s (gals/guys) in less than 30 minutes.

Retesting/recertifying CST Instructors who fail the physical competency requirements forfeit their certification.

Responsibilities and Opportunities:

At the instructor level, the focus is on grasping the foundational material, learning to teach the basic courses, and coming to own that material through personal practice. It's necessary to live the material in order to own it.

Instructors are being prepped as specialists in CST Personal Training. They're not experts at CST Poise Analysis, like the Coaches are expected to be. However, in order to make it to Coach, Instructors are working on the programmatic integration of the 3 Rings of CST. They’re learning how to create CST programs for personal training clients without CST Poise Analysis, but in such a way that they will learn how to master CST Poise Analysis as they continue to train more clients.

At the CST IC seminar Instructors will study examples of how the 3 Rings integrate in a program design: which mobility exercises prime the target joints for a specific Clubbell® exercise, and which body-flow movements / yoga poses unload the tension used by those components. The CST 6D Matrix program.

Certified Instructors are strongly encouraged to be present on the RMAX Forum. This is no longer a requirement at Instructor level, but an opportunity. It’s how you begin to build your presence in the organization, it’s how you start making a name for yourself, and it’s where you’ll practice answering basic CST questions from the general public.

If you’re ever unsure of an answer or want to discuss a piece of advice from the open forum, we encourage you to bring it up in the Instructor Cadre forum, where we can debrief it as an exercise for everyone. There are no stupid questions! The Instructor Cadre forum is your locker room, so please use it as such. There’s no shame in not knowing something or not being great at something. There is shame in knowing you’re not measuring up but doing nothing about it. The entire cadre is here to help.

Instructors are able to conduct CST classes, but not CST workshops or seminars. Instructors are not able to teach programs they haven’t been instructed in.

A certified CST Instructor who wishes to try for CST Coach may attend the CST II Coaching Certification course, after which they will undertake the examination process.

CST Coach Certification

Minimum Physical Competency Expectations:

Intu-Flow® to the level of infinities and diagonal infinities, all of the poses within the Series ‘A’ Prasara flows at RPT 8+, and Clubbell® Trial by Fire with 10/15’s (gals/guys) in less than 30 minutes.

Retesting/recertifying CST Coaches who fail the physical competency requirements are not bumped down to Instructor. They forfeit their CST certification entirely.

Responsibilities and Opportunities:

At Coach level you’re working to master the 4367 Poise Analysis protocol, component theory, compensatory movement, mobility from a biotensegrity standpoint (isolation within a field of total influence), and degrees of freedom. Coaches should be practicing CST Program Design (the 3 Ring integration) through CST Poise Analysis (4367) without CST Periodization (THP), in such a way that they come to develop competency with the THP.

As a CST Coach you’re being introduced to the concept of finding your own unique brand or story, how you can begin to explore that brand, and how to make it prosper beneath the RMAX International umbrella. You’re studying to go beyond being a "CST Personal Trainer or Group Ex Instructor." This is where you learn to tell your unique story, to frame what you have to offer, and finally to come into a sense of ownership of the CST material as it relates to your unique experience and background.

In order to tie each individual story into our overall brand and to leverage the weight of that brand behind each of our people, our public stories will all culminate in how our life paths led us to find RMAX and CST, and how we each came to realize that it’s the best organization and system in the history of physical culture to date. Our integrated stories carry more weight than any individual story does, because by tying them together we’re all supporting each other.

Coaches are responsible for answering questions on the RMAX Forum. A minimum of 5 hours per month of forum participation is a requirement at this level, because a Coach is a more visible representative of the organization. This is also where the Faculty gets to see you in action so we can offer feedback on your online coaching. In addition to answering forum questions, Coaches are required to post a minimum of three 28-day training blogs per year. You are responsible for drawing the Faculty’s attention to your blog links in a thread on the Coach forum.

Coaches can conduct CST seminars, either alone or in collaboration with other Coaches or Instructors. Coaches cannot produce resources such as DVD’s, manuals or downloadable programs. Coach level people are studying and beginning to implement unique program designs, but they have not built the necessary experience to start marketing those same designs.

A certified CST Coach who wishes to try for CST Head Coach may attend the CST III Coaching Certification course, after which they will undertake the examination process.
