Why Choose Our Kids Fitness Instructor Course?

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.

Learn How to Make Exercise Fun

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 games 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.

Inspire Children

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.

Instigate Change

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.

How Will Our Course Help Your Fitness Career?

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.

Manage School Clubs

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.

Work With Young Athletes

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.

Open Your Own Business

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.

Gain a Fitness Qualification

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.

Our Home Study Courses Will Help You Build a Better Professional Future

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 programme 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.
