Procedures for SuperSlow Certification
through Gary Lindahl, P.T.

Appointed and Certified as a SuperSlow Master Instructor
by Ken Hutchins, President of the SuperSlow Exercise Guild, Inc.

The governing body of the certification process is the SuperSlow® Exercise Guild , Ken Hutchins, President. This body develops the criteria for certification, standards of professionalism, and philosophy of SuperSlow. It's comprised of 12 appointed Masters and those certified exercise specialists who wish to belong to the organization through yearly dues.

Process

1. Read the SuperSlow Certification Program by Ken Hutchins. Understand the magnitude of this Certification and that it not only considers the didactic and practical aspects of a high intensity strength exercise, but also a philosophy of the administrating body, the SuperSlow Exercise Guild, Inc.
   
   
2. Send in the form to request the SuperSlow manual, protocols, and video for Level I. The manual is $25 and the Level I video is $35. Each can be ordered directly from the SuperSlow Exercise Guild. As a convenience, I occasionally have manuals and videos available for you to purchase from me. I charge an additional $5 for shipping.
   
   
3. Study the SuperSlow manual. If you certify through me, I also supply you with a study guide taken from the SuperSlow manual. I also require additional material for you to know involving the rehabilitation aspect, along with knowledge of changes in protocols for different musculoskeletal diagnoses. (For example, degenerative disc disease, rheumatoid and osteoarthritis, post surgical spinal fusions, shoulder rotator cuff tears, etc.)
   
   This additional material will be supplied to you at the time you select a certification date through me and pay the Guild the registration costs as noted below. If you study intensely, you could probably be ready to take the written examination in approximately two months after receiving the educational material.
   
   
4. When you feel ready, submit the registration form for certification, along with $595 to the SuperSlow Guild. Certification through me requires three days minimum. This involves shadowing me for a minimum of two days. On the third day, you will take your written examination, oral and practical.
   
   The two days shadowing me prior to taking the written exam will be very valuable because you will see people who have different diagnoses. Often you can talk with them about the effect the exercise program has had on their lives, and get a good understanding of the modifications often required in alignment and position with more fragile people.
   
   Note: Please understand, the shadowing for a minimum of two days before the examination is not required for certification from the other appointed masters or Mr. Hutchins.

If you have any additional questions, I can be reached by or by other methods. All of the necessary information regarding certification can be attained at The SuperSlow web site.
