While factors like budget and time availability comes into account, we strongly recommend that you move onto the level 3 personal trainer course as soon as possible after completing your level 2 gym instructor course.

What Skills Do I Need to be a Successful Fitness Instructor?

Communication Communication is crucial. You will need to be effective in communicating with staff and gym members, ensuring you are professional and clear in what you say. Effective communication can help with retention of members and improve your professionalism within the organisation. As part of a team you will have to communicate with supervisors, managers and other gym staff so building a good rapport with these members of staff would help your progression within the organisation. Confidence Confidence is a positive quality that will enable you to communicate and motivate others. Having confidence in your own knowledge and skill is an important factor. You see lots of gym instructors sat behind reception not engaging with the gym members. Having confidence to get up chat to members, show them different exercises and motivate them is a skill that will help you with progression if you become qualified at Level 3 level. Organisation Organisation is important, being punctual, knowing your shift pattern and carrying out your daily gym roles will show you are professional. You may run a class so preparation of the class having a clear plan and setting up so it can start on time is important. As a gym instructor if you are organised colleagues will see this and place more trust on you that could result in greater opportunities within the organisation. Presentation Presentation should be high on the list of priorities. If you have a uniform wear it and make sure it is clean and ironed. Understand the expectations of the staff, bright blue hair might not be appropriate for the environment you are working in. Good presentation can be seen as professional and that you take your role seriously.
