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 would 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 is hot in the industry.

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 would 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 is 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 are 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 programme 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 your 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 your 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.
