Qualification Overview
QUALIFICATION OVERVIEW
Our Level 2 Certificate in Gym Instructing course includes everything you need to become a recognised Gym Instructor. This qualification will enable you to work in a gym environment in the health and fitness industry.
It is also the pre-requisite qualification that is needed to be able to enrol onto a Level 3 Personal Training qualification.
No previous experience is required, just an aptitude to want to learn and turn your passion of health, fitness and nutrition into a rewarding career.
OUR UNIQUE BLENDED LEARNING STRUCTURE
Online learning
As soon as you enrol, you will have immediate access to our online learning platform, and you will be contacted by your course support tutor to help get you up and running.
Your online learning platform will host the theory content for your course, all delivered as bitesize classroom-style lessons.
Units include:
• Programming
• Anatomy & Physiology
• How to professionally work with clients
• and even a full exercise and coaching library
You will have life-long access to your online learning platform, giving you a point of reference when you are programming and training clients in a gym environment.
Practical workshops
To go alongside your online learning platform, you will be able to complete your learning by attending our 2 practical workshops which will be done around your online study.
These in-person practical workshops are delivered in excellent gym facilities and will include:
• How to deliver gym-based exercise to clients
• How to structure and deliver a gym programme
• Delivering exercise to small groups
Our practical workshops are delivered by experienced and leading Personal Trainers, who run their own successful personal training business – allowing you to learn from someone who has extensive experience and knowledge of the industry and working with clients.
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER YOU QUALIFY?
As you are working through your studies, your course support tutor will encourage you to prepare for your career as a gym instructor by starting to build the foundations of your fitness business. This will be relevant if you are considering qualifying as a personal trainer in the future.
Once you are fully qualified we will work with you to help find a role as a gym instructor in a gym environment, or help you to continue your learning by advising on the next pathway in your education – this will commonly be onto a Level 3 Personal Training course, though there are further options.
We understand fully that a lot of your questions will come after you are qualified, whether you need help finding employment in a gym or help with programming for clients. That is why we are always at hand to offer support and mentorship as you look to develop your career in the health and fitness industry.
ASSESSMENTS & ACCREDITATIONS
Assessments
It is important when enrolling on to a course that you have a clear timeline to completion and an understanding of what you need to do to pass.
As soon as you enrol, your course support tutor will arrange an Assessment Plan call with you so that they can talk you through each unit of the course and how they are assessed. This will essentially be your timeline to completion and will set you some motivation with your studies and targets to aim for.
Online assessments
Once you complete a unit online, it can be assessed immediately, allowing you to do the assessment whilst the knowledge is fresh and to save you hanging around for an exam. Our online end-of-unit assessments can all be done from the comfort of your own home when you are ready to do so. Your support tutor will be at hand to help with any revision and to get everything organised for you.
Practical assessments
To showcase the knowledge you have learnt from the practical workshops and the online content, as well as allowing you to show us how you will want to be acknowledged as a Gym Instructor, you will build up a body of work by completing a course portfolio and working with a case study client.
This body of work will essentially be based on your training of an individual as an active client – analysing and educating them on their training, lifestyle and nutritional habits.
Your course support tutor will be at hand to help with this every step of the way, this stage of your learning reflects who you are as an individual and it builds up your experience, knowledge and confidence in training and programming for a client.
Your case study work will consist of the following:
- Client consultation and health screening tests
- Gym Programme design
- Gym Programme delivery
Your practical assessment will consist of you delivering a gym programme to your client.
This can be done as a filmed assessment or by an in-person assessment.
Accreditation
The Level 2 Certificate in Gym Instructing qualification is governed by YMCA Awards and is industry recognised, both in the United Kingdom and Worldwide, meaning you can work as a personal trainer anywhere in the world.
Upon completion of our qualifications, you’ll also be able to gain membership with the standardising body for the Health and Fitness Industry – CIMSPA (previously REPS – The Register of Exercise Professionals).

What Our Students Are Saying
The whole course from start to finish was well prepared and thought through. Every practical day was great fun and I learnt a lot. I enjoyed meeting the same group of people each time and building lasting friendships. The theory for the course is perfect as you can do it in your own time in and around busy lifestyles which is perfect for some like me with work commitments and 3 children. I continued to finish my level 2 and started my level 3 straight after and I have just completed my final exam all thanks to Ash and the team at Performance Training Academy!
[/dsm_card_carousel_child][dsm_card_carousel_child title=”Joe Hafner” subtitle=”I would recommend Performance Training Academy to anyone thinking of taking the course” button_url_new_window=”1″ _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” subhead_font=”|700|on||||||” subhead_text_color=”#0067A8″ global_colors_info=”{}” parent_button=”off” parent_header_level=”h4″]My education with Performance Training Academy was direct and efficient, I conducted my learning on a blended learning basis. I learnt the theory part of the course online and with one to one help from my course tutor, and I joined a small group to carry out our practical education.
It enabled the delivery of the course content to suit my needs. I successfully achieved my qualification within my needed time scale, learning and retaining more information then I thought I would, as I usually struggle in class-based environments, so with this learning platform I was really impressed and thankful.
I would recommend Performance Training Academy to anyone thinking of taking the course. Their deliverance of the content will keep you engaged and interested throughout the course, they also provide ongoing support after you have completed and begin your career as a Personal Trainer. I am now working as a recognised Personal Trainer out of a gym in Dubai.
[/dsm_card_carousel_child][dsm_card_carousel_child title=”Lily Burks” subtitle=”Performance Training Academy work their hardest to help all students achieve their individual goals within the course” button_url_new_window=”1″ _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” subhead_font=”|700|on||||||” subhead_text_color=”#0067A8″ global_colors_info=”{}” parent_button=”off” parent_header_level=”h4″]Before starting the course I had no previous coaching or teaching experience. I was a regular gym goer myself but had no base learning in how to instruct. I have always enjoyed working with people and being social as I am a qualified hairdresser as well and have always liked to build relationships and work on self-improvement and care.
I wanted to be a Personal Trainer because I became passionate about exercise and enjoyed learning new methods and wanted to share that with the wider world. The course was a fantastic way to get a feel for the gym environment as it was based in a working gym. My tutor’s at Performance Training Academy work their hardest to help all students achieve their individual goals within the course. It’s a very friendly and relaxed environment with a professional feel – which is exactly what they emphasise you convey to your clients.
Now I have qualified I plan on setting up all of my social media bases and working on my fitness personality through these and start to gain clients. I will be working for myself and then eventually look into potentially relocating and working from a gym. I will also be using Ash in the future for any programme queries or business advice!
