Fitness Instructor

As a Fitness Instructor working in a health club or leisure centre, you would arrange and lead group as well as individual training and exercise programmes to help people improve their health and fitness. Fitness instructors carry out individual fitness assessments in consultation with clients, design exercise programmes, show guests how to use exercise equipment properly, and other duties involved in the general portfolio of helping people to improve their physical fitness.

To work as a Fitness Instructor you'll need to complete a nationally recognised qualification before starting work, or gain work-based qualifications during a job as an assistant instructor. You'll also need public liability insurance and a first aid certificate including a CPR certificate. If you want to work with children, you'll also need Criminal Records Bureau clearance. A sociable personality and a passion for exercise and fitness certainly wouldn't go amiss either!
