Disclaimer: ✨ Honesty Matters ✨

At Jolly Bodies, we believe that authenticity and connection are key to building a strong coaching team. This assessment is designed to help both you and us determine if coaching at JB is the right fit.

Please answer as honestly as possible—there are no “right” or “wrong” answers, only what reflects who you truly are. 

If selected for training, your ability to educate, inspire, and connect with participants in a real class setting will be a major focus, and any gaps between how you present yourself here and how you naturally interact will become clear.

Choosing answers that don’t align with your real personality may lead to a training experience that doesn’t feel natural to you—and we want every coach to feel confident and in the right place.

We appreciate your authenticity and look forward to learning more about the real you.

1. You’re leading a class, and suddenly you forget the next cue in your sequence. What do you do?

2. A participant in your class seems frustrated and isn’t keeping up with the pace. How do you respond?

3. You receive feedback from your mentor that your class energy was lower than usual. How do you react?

4. The music unexpectedly stops during your class. What’s your first move?

5. A participant tells you after class that they didn’t love the workout. What’s your first instinct?

6. You’re asked to sub a class last minute, but you’re unfamiliar with the format. What do you do?

7. A participant openly questions your instructions mid-workout. How do you handle it?

8. Your mic suddenly stops working in the middle of a packed class. What’s your first move?

9. You notice a first-time participant struggling to put their weights away while others are leaving. What do you do?

11. You notice another coach skipping part of the clean-up process after class. What do you do?

12. A participant asks about an advanced move you’re not fully sure how to teach. How do you handle it?
