Hi Lovey,Attending different group fitness classes will help you decide if the career is right for you, and perhaps even give you an idea of which direction you’d like to go. Try taking a mind-body class, an aquatic class, a bodyweight training class, strength training classes that use both traditional and newer equipment, and maybe a dance fitness class. You’ll learn what works when it comes to instructional techniques, the habits of a good leader, and what’s hot in the industry.Before you start teaching classes, it’s important to earn a reputable certification that gives you the knowledge and skills you’ll need to deliver safe and... view more

Hi Lovey,
Attending different group fitness classes will help you decide if the career is right for you, and perhaps even give you an idea of which direction you’d like to go. Try taking a mind-body class, an aquatic class, a bodyweight training class, strength training classes that use both traditional and newer equipment, and maybe a dance fitness class. You’ll learn what works when it comes to instructional techniques, the habits of a good leader, and what’s hot in the industry.
Before you start teaching classes, it’s important to earn a reputable certification that gives you the knowledge and skills you’ll need to deliver safe and effective exercise to class participants. When you’re shopping for a certification, only consider programs accredited by an independent, third party that specifically provides accreditation for certification programs like the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA). You may also want to consider if the certification is approved for use in other countries. The ACE Group Fitness Instructor Certification is the only one of its kind from the United States to hold accreditation by the European Health and Fitness Association (EHFA). Holding a certification from an NCCA-accredited program will give you a distinct employment advantage as many employers use it as an easy way to identify a qualified candidate from an unqualified one.
Either while you’re studying or just after you earn your certification, choose someone in the industry you admire and ask if he or she can serve as your mentor. Go with someone who teaches the class modality you’re pursuing, and of course, someone who has a loyal class following. Learning from someone who teaches the type of class you’ll eventually lead can help you discover moves you can incorporate later and more importantly, the elements of a great teacher. Don’t be afraid to ask for advice either.
Hope it helps. Please feel free to revert. Click on the thumbs up or mark it as the best, if you found this useful.
Wish You Luck!

As far as I think being skilled is more important than getting a certification. Nowadays no one asks about the certification. They just look whether the person infront is worth it for the job or not.

Becoming passionate about health and fitness put the rest of my life into perspective. I caught the fitness bug early. I started working out and reading articles about nutrition and fitness when I was in high school. By the time I was 21, Id put on 30 pounds of muscle, felt awesome, and vanquished my skinny guy genetics. Like many people who start living the healthy lifestyle, I quickly became the go-to fitness and nutrition expert for my friends and family, a position and responsibility I enjoyed and cherished. My new-found love for exercising and eating healthycoupled with the results I saw in the mirror and my ability to help others get in... view more

I think that really depends on your location. So my number 1 suggestion would always have to do some research about the standards of your place.
