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.
