Optional units

Along with the mandatory units, you’ll also be able to choose one of two optional units, which will set you on the way to becoming a group training instructor.

Planning and instructing group training sessions

If you’d like to teach group fitness classes but aren’t necessarily interested in aerobics, this unit is ideal for your needs.

It will give you everything you need to plan effective group training sessions for people of all ages and maintain a safe environment.

You’ll also learn how to evaluate your skills as an instructor and improve on each lesson.

Planning and instructing group training to music

This optional unit combines planning and instructing group sessions with incorporating music into the training.

If you’re interested in teaching aerobics or gaining an exercise to music qualification, this unit will teach you basic choreography skills so you can implement them into your sessions.

Upon completion of this course:

Upon successfully completing the group fitness instructor course, you’ll have more career opportunities within the health and fitness industry, including the ability to work at gyms and health centres. Some of our students also go on to run bootcamps or enjoy instructing group training sessions for children and vulnerable adults. If professional development is essential to you, this course can give you everything you need to offer group exercise sessions and profit from running classes instead of teaching one individual at a time.

FAQs

Does the course equip me for high-intensity interval training?

You can apply the knowledge you learn in this course for HIIT sessions. Groups can benefit from enhanced physical fitness, and this form of training proves to be very beneficial.

You’ll also learn about body conditioning, strength training and sports exercise for training groups of athletes.

What are the entry requirements?

Many of our students begin their studies with the Level 2 Gym Instructor qualification, but you can go straight onto this course if you’d prefer. However, instructing groups is more problematic as you have to focus on individual participation, so learning practical skills as a gym instructor first can be beneficial.

With so many happy and successful previous students, we’re confident you’ll have no problem finding work after completing the course.

Yes, absolutely. People are more concerned now than ever before about their fitness. When you complete the certificate in group training, you can enjoy plenty of career prospects and work in a gym or health club – and even alone if you’d prefer.

Upon completing the qualification, learners can move on to other areas of study, including the Level 3 Personal Trainer course.

Many people choose to build their strength and resilience in a fitness environment, so there are always opportunities for personal training professionals.

Whether you want to work with general fitness clients or help athletes with lifestyle management, you’ll find plenty of doors ajar in the fitness industry.

Take the first step towards your brand new career.
