Outcomes and content

What Will I Learn?

Module 1: Principles of anatomy, physiology and fitness

During this module, you’ll learn about anatomy and physiology and how they relate to exercise.

We cover areas such as core strength and stability, along with postural stability, so you can get to grips with the human body and understand how the right exercises can enhance health.

The units include:

  • Learning about the skeletal structure and how it works.
  • Naming the different bones and joints.
  • Understanding optimum postural alignment and learning how it changes through the life stages.

Module 2: Professionalism for group training

All fitness professionals need to learn how to act professionality – especially when working in group environments.

Upon completing this module, you’ll learn how to identify potential risk factors for each client and maintain a professional attitude.

The outcomes will include you being able to:

  • Develop strong working relationships with clients.
  • Understand how to develop safe and effective group training sessions.
  • Learn how to run a business successfully.
  • Understand the motivations of people in the exercise groups.

Module 3: Health and safety in a group training environment

Health and safety are central to any group training session, and instructors must be able to prioritise the safety of each client.

In this unit, you’ll:

  • Understand the importance of health and safety for individual clients and groups.
  • Learn how to identify hazards and put safeguarding measures into place.
  • Understand emergency and operation procedures.
  • Learn how to maintain the training equipment and create a safe area.

Module 4: Changing behaviours and supporting clients to enjoy healthy lifestyles

This unit teaches you how to enhance client motivation and support exercise adherence during group training classes.

  • A group exercise instructor also has to focus on what clients do outside the gym and help people develop a healthy lifestyle. Eating nutrient-dense foods and getting enough physical activity is central to maintaining a healthy weight.
