What is the Bulgarian Bag Instructor (BBI) and Bulgarian Bag Specialist (BBS) Certification?
BBI or BBS is the title granted to Bulgarian Bag trainers upon successful completion of the IBBC’s integrative and certification program. The IBBC is committed to providing consistent instruction and education on the uses and benefits of training with the Bulgarian Bag though the BBI/BBS program. Our progressive and in-depth certificate program incorporates functional movement principles and applications to meet the varying demands of fitness enthusiasts, fitness educators, and athletes. The IBBC prides itself on producing BBI/BBS trainers that are the gold standard in the industry, thus, both our physical and mental criterion for passing this program is strict.
What is the difference between BBI and BBS?
BBI stands for Bulgarian Bag Instructor, and the only difference between the BBI and the BBS (Bulgarian Bag Specialist) is the Spin Test requirement. We realize the Spin Test can be quite daunting and unfortunately, we’ve lost some great prospects because of this physically demanding requirement. It’s not that these students are weak or physically unable, it’s that sometimes in the face of a heavy client schedule, they just do not have enough time to spend on the physical preparation required to pass the Spin Test during the course, but nonetheless realize the tremendous benefits the Bulgarian Bag offers to their clients and wish to learn more about incorporating the Bulgarian Bag into their kit. So don’t think that these BBI prospects get to kick back while their BBS counterparts are taking the Spin Test – everyone is still required to take the physical test during the course. However, we’re seeing that even in the face of this daunting feat, almost everyone who initially thought they’d stop at the BBI have decided to truly Get Bag Fit and go the whole way to obtain their BBS. All students have three months to perfect their Spin Test technique after gaining an incredible amount of technical experience during this valuable course to earn their BBS.
