For many health and fitness professionals, the ability to help others succeed and reach their goals is the best part of the job. With obesity levels continuing to rise, encouraging young people to exercise is more important now than ever.
If you enjoy working with children and would like to educate and coach them on health-related exercise, our course will give you everything you need to become a successful kids fitness instructor.
The days of playing out in the street are long gone, and today, most kids prefer to sit in front of the TV or their gaming console. Parents struggle to get their children active, leading to early obesity and causing health problems later in life.
Part of your job will be to encourage children to exercise and teach them that it can be fun. You’ll receive access to coaching techniques and learn how to understand the common issues children face through our course.
Exercise is so much more than something we do to keep us healthy; it’s a form of confidence-building. Starting a workout requires motivation, but there’s a sense of achievement when you finish that workout, a powerful message for young people.
So many people are amazed at what they can achieve through exercise, and you can inspire young people to strive for more in life and not be afraid to push themselves, both physically and academically.
We live in a diverse country with many different cultures. Exercise comes in many forms, including team sports, which encourages people to work together. Young people learn how to understand and appreciate a range of lifestyles, religions, and cultures, creating a better society.
When you study with The Fitness Circle, you receive access to one of the best online learning courses, so you can teach practical exercise courses for young people. As a leading training provider, we offer a range of courses, and many of our students go on to work at some of the UK’s largest health centres.
School clubs run after education hours and during the holidays, so parents can continue with their jobs while knowing their children are safe. Studying with us means you gain valuable knowledge of the principles of exercise, fitness, and wellbeing, which you can use to plan and deliver safe activities for children.
Some children show an immediate aptitude for a particular sport and rely on fitness trainers to get them to the proper physical condition to compete. Understanding how to train and coach young children can open up many opportunities to become a specialist trainer.
Whether it’s offering training and fitness classes to children or visiting schools to teach young people about the importance of exercise, there are plenty of opportunities to start your own business. The fitness industry is competitive, but there’s a gap for people who specialise in instructing health-related exercise for children.
If you’re interested in a career as a youth support worker or community engagement officer, a qualification in fitness instruction can help you learn to support clients and plan exercise and physical activity for children from low-income families.
Not everyone is cut out to be a personal trainer or fitness coach. It takes a lot of time, dedication, and commitment to exercise and physical activity if you want to succeed. Our courses cover everything from exercise, fitness, and health to program design and delivering fun exercise courses for children.
You’ll learn about health, safety, and welfare in the gym and outside, as well as nutrition and diet. If you’d like to learn more about our online courses, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
A career as a youth exercise and fitness instructor is incredibly rewarding, and our courses can be completed online, so they don’t interfere with your working hours.
Upon successful completion, you can gain employment and share your knowledge with kids. If you’re ready for a rewarding career and excellent prospects, book your place today.
The Certificate in Children’s Fitness is an entry-level qualification for anybody who wants to work with kids in a fitness environment. The Kid’s Instructor course provides you with the skills to deliver fun & safe fitness-based activities to children ages five to sixteen, giving you access to a whole new market.
This course consists of the Active IQ Level 2 Certificate in Children’s Fitness. If you already have a fitness instructing qualification, then you will only need to do part of the course, which could only take you a few weeks.
We recommend the certification if you’re interested in working with children and would like to play a key role in their development. The government wants children to become more active, which is challenging in a technology-dominated society (Sport England).
Becoming a children’s fitness instructor could open up numerous doors, including the opportunity to freelance in schools and holiday clubs. There’s also the opportunity to set yourself apart as a youth worker or support young athletes.
Remember, working with children is much different than supporting adults. They can be more challenging and might require constant motivation. The following skills are vital to your success:
Enthusiasm: Positivity and energy are everything when working with children. You’ll need to motivate them and be willing to approach each session with a positive mindset. Some people find it exhausting to work with children, while others love it. Think about which side you’re on.
Communication Skills: As a children’s fitness professional, you’ll work with young people of all ages. You’ll need to adapt your communication methods for each age group, which some instructors might find challenging.
Safeguarding: All fitness instructors must consider health and safety, but there are multiple things to factor in when teaching children. Understanding safeguarding laws and being able to spot potential issues is vital.
Patience: Last, but definitely not least, is patience. You might think planning out an entire session is enough to ensure everything runs smoothly, but that’s rarely the case when working with young people. Being able to adapt to each child’s needs and keeping a cool head is vital for your success.
Our children’s fitness course doesn’t have an official examination. It’s coursework-based, so you’ll complete multiple assignments to demonstrate your knowledge of children’s fitness principles.
These assignments are designed to help you succeed and cement your ability to work with different age groups.
If you complete the Level 2 Children’s Fitness Instructing certification, you can progress onto other more advanced certifications.
Becoming a personal trainer gives you the opportunity to take on more senior roles, with the Level 3 Personal Training diploma being the gold standard for fitness industry professionals.
If you want to provide a specialised service, teaching children the principles of exercise fitness and providing nutrition support can set you apart from other trainers. The YMCA Level 4 Advanced Nutrition certification is an excellent career move.
