How to Be a Good Fitness Instructor

How to Be a Good Fitness Instructor

You’ve passed your ETM Qualification, and you are officially a Certified Group Fitness Instructor – CONGRATULATIONS!

Now it’s time to figure out where you “fit in.”   As we know, many qualities combine to make an excellent fitness instructor.  Depending on the class type, these qualities may vary.  For novice Group Fitness Instructors, the initial experience of teaching group fitness may be a bit overwhelming.

For seasoned instructors, realising growing one’s skillset is an ongoing process is both frustrating and rewarding at the same time.  Cueing, listening to music, remembering choreography, and observation skills are a lot to manage, but these are also essential skills that Group Fitness Instructors should possess.

Ways to Become a Great Instructor In the Studio 

Be Prepared

One thing a Group Fitness Instructor should remember is always to be prepared for the unexpected. Making sure to have backup music, bringing extra batteries for the microphone, and even being ready to teach with neither will make a potentially stressful situation a little more bearable.

Practice 

To ensure you are as prepared for class as possible, you have to practice. As you become a seasoned Group Fitness Instructor, you may find yourself doing this less, but you will still do it.

Stay Educated

Since the fitness industry is an ever-changing place, all Certified Group Fitness Instructors need to keep learning and keep updated with what is current whether it be online courses, attending other classes or adding new qualifications.

Stay Connected  

Thanks to the social media era, it is so much easier for Group Fitness Instructors to stay connected with their participants than ever before. It is recommended that instructors create accounts on social media outside of their own personal social media account.

Self-Care 

Since most Group Fitness Instructors are “givers” by nature, they must step back occasionally and take time to recharge.
