Leaders who are only registered in Fitness Theory do not have any renewal requirements as Fitness Theory registration is only valid for one year. However, within that initial year, those registered in Fitness Theory are required to advance their fitness education by fully completing and registering in a specialty module. If they do not become fully registered within this initial year, they start the entire process again. This involves re-writing the Fitness Theory exam and re-registering with the BCRPA in Fitness Theory.
