Certificate Wording for Sports and Athletic Completion

Phrases & Wording

From increased endurance to improved strength, sports and athletic activities provide a plethora of benefits to participants. Now, you can add one more perk by presenting certificates for successful completion of sports and athletic endeavors. Fitness certificates can apply to a number of scenarios for a job well done. Examples can include:

• Students completing a training course to become instructors
• Volunteers taking part in a run, walk or other athletic fundraising event
• Participants finishing a strenuous athletic boot camp
• Employees excelling at corporate athletic challenges
• Clients reaching their weight loss, endurance or strength-training goals

Any number of successfully completed fitness activities can call for acknowledgement in the form of a certificate. You can also give the certificate an extra-special touch based on the wording you choose. We’ve outlined some basic information each recognition certificate should include, along with five examples of certificate wording for fitness achievements.
