OUR COURSES
Take the next step in your fitness career with our Level 2 Gym Instructor qualifications, Level 3 Personal Trainer Diploma, or a combined course that offers both.
The Level 2 Gym Instructor qualification enables you to work with members of the public to induct them into the gym safely and effectively.
You will learn about the human body and how exercise improves physiological function. From strengthening the heart to building muscle and bone strength, understanding anatomy and physiology will ensure you can link the training you advise someone to do to the benefits that it will bring them.
You will also learn how to enhance your communication skills, how to build effective working relationships with gym members, and how to successfully complete effective client consultations.
You will learn how to design safe and effective workouts for people with differing goals and ability levels, from improved cardiovascular function to improving someone’s 1 rep max or muscle flexibility. You will also realise at this point that there is not a one-size fits all approach, and that the information collected from the client within the consultation is what helps you plan a suitable workout for that individual.
And lastly, you will learn how to exercise safely and effectively yourself. You will have your own exercise technique assessed to ensure you are doing things correctly, and learn key coaching points and advice to give to gym members to improve their overall exercise technique.
