Combined Instructor

Combined Instructor
For those looking to develop a career in all aspects of the gym and fitness instructing this is the ideal course for you. You will gain the perfect start in a career as a versatile fitness instructor allowing you the freedom to progress onto other specialist areas in the industry or CPD courses once qualified.

You will develop both theoretical and practical skills to teach individual and group exercise (ETM) programmes therefore allowing you to be employed in a gym or leisure centre or work freelance. This is also a good foundation if you wish to teach some of the well known Les Mills group exercise classes such as Body Pump, Body Combat and RPM.

Instructors who are able to work in varied exercise environments are not only extremely employable but also in great demand.

You should study the Exercise and Fitness Knowledge level 2 module first followed by the Gym Instructing or Exercise to Music modules.
We do advise that you complete your assessment for the Exercise and Fitness Knowledge level 2 after either practical course.

Exercise and Fitness Knowledge Level 2
This is a distance learning module supported by workbooks and a fully interactive CD Rom which takes approximately 40 hours to complete.
Gym Instructing
This is a five day intensive module that is included in all fitness instructor courses and personal trainer courses.
Exercise to Music
This is a five day practical module for the aspiring aerobics instructor. You will be required to attend two practical assessment days approximately two weeks after this Exercise to Music module.

Entry requirements
There are no entry requirements for this course, although we recommend that you have knowledge or experience of the gym and class environment prior to the course.

Assessment and certification
The award is assessed against the National Standards for Exercise and Fitness. You will be required to sit a theory paper as well as completing practical assessments for each discipline.
