Gym Instructor Level 2

This one year CYQ course (Central YMCA Qualifications) is an industry qualification which allows you to progress into employment in the fitness industry.

The course is made up of three key elements:

• Exercise and Fitness knowledge
  
• Health, Safety and Professionalism in Exercise and Fitness Instruction
  
• Planning, Instructing and Evaluating Gym Induction

All elements must be passed to gain the qualification.

The Exercise and Fitness knowledge is assessed through a multiple choice exam which is divided into the following areas:

• Bones and joints
  
• Muscles, muscle actions, and energy systems
  
• Cardio respiratory systems
  
• Principles of training

Health, Safety and Professionalism in Exercise and Fitness instruction is assessed through internally graded worksheets

Planning, instructing and evaluating gym induction is a summative assessment where you plan and take a client through a gym induction and carry out a postinduction evaluation. This is graded immediately after the assessment.

Students that successfully complete the course can use it as a starting block for a varied selection of courses including Health, Leisure and other Sport subjects.
