THE DURTIEMETHOD™ APPROACH

THE FOUNDATIONS OF OUR
APPROACH

Our approach brings together a biblical foundation, a framework for growth in every area of life, and structured education that prepares coaches to apply The DurtieMETHOD™ responsibly.

01 // BIBLICAL FOUNDATION

Bible-Based & Jesus-Centered

The DurtieMETHOD™ begins with Scripture and keeps Jesus Christ at the center. Coaches learn to help clients connect biblical teaching with everyday choices, habits, relationships, and responsibilities.

  • Scripture as the foundation.
  • Growth in faith and character.
  • Practical application in daily life.

02 // THE DURTIEMETHOD™ FRAMEWORK

Seven Pillars, Thirty Areas

The Seven Pillars of Fitness™ address spiritual, mental, nutritional, physical, social, financial, and sabbatical fitness. Together, they give coaches a clear framework for helping clients grow across the different areas of their lives.

  • Seven Pillars of Fitness™.
  • Twenty-four Areas of Focus™.
  • Six Areas of Rest™.

03 // CERTIFICATION & LICENSING

Learn, Demonstrate & Apply

Pillar certifications demonstrate knowledge and competency in each subject. The four license levels prepare coaches for progressively broader coaching responsibilities. Completing a certification does not automatically grant a coaching license.

  • Education through DurtieACADEMY™.
  • Pillar certifications and licensing exams.
  • Coaching permissions based on license level.
