Level 1 Certified Trainers are required to complete a 3-day, minimum of 4 hours per day, Certified Trainer Update Course once every two years for the following purposes:

  • Trademark License Renewal: All Students enrolling in Foundation Teacher Training Courses sign a Trademark License Agreement dated with the first day of the Course. This enables the Apprentice to teach GYROTONIC Methodology to clients, as well as use the GYROTONIC  Trademarks for promotional purposes, as outlined in the License.
  • In order for GYROTONIC Headquarters to re-issue a new License upon expiration of the previous License, the Trainer must successfully complete a mandatory Certified Trainer Update Course.
  • The Trainer must complete the Update Course within the 12-month period prior to the date of expiration of the License.
  • The Trainer must take the Update Course with a GYROTONIC Master Trainer. The Master Trainer will notify GYROTONIC Headquarters once the Update Course has been completed.
  • Prior to expiration of the existing License, GYROTONIC Headquarters will notify the Trainer by sending a Trademark License Renewal letter that the Trainer must sign and return to GYROTONIC Headquarters.
  • In addition to sending the License Renewal letter back to GYROTONIC Headquarters, the Trainer must also mail samples of all promotional materials (business cards, brochures, flyers, websites, etc) currently being used. GYROTONIC Headquarters will review these materials for proper trademark usage.
  • Upon approval of the renewal letter and the promotional material by GYROTONIC Headquarters, a new Level I Certificate will be issued to the Certified Trainer. The Certificate will show an expiration date of two years from the License Renewal date. As a result, the Trainer will have an active License and Certificate for two years.  The same procedures will follow every two years.
