Course Overview

Our Level 2 Certificate in Gym Instructing course includes everything you need to become an industry recognised Gym Instructor.

But to take this a step further, we will also give you the tools and resources needed to help you become a knowledgable and confident Gym Instructor who has all the resources necessary to help and support you throughout your career.

Course structure

As soon as you enrol, you are given immediate access to our online learning platform, and you will be contacted by your course support tutor to get you up and running.

Your online content includes all of the theory content for your Level 2 Certificate in Gym Instructing course, along with further resources and even the ‘at-home’ assessments required for your course.

To complete your learning, we will offer you attendance on our practical workshops. These are delivered by experienced and leading Personal Trainers, who run their own personal training business – allowing you to learn from someone who has extensive experience and knowledge of the industry and working with clients.

What happens once you are qualified?

As you are working through your studies, your course support tutor will encourage you to prepare for your career as a gym instructor after you are qualified by starting to build the foundations of your future personal training business (if this a the route you are looking to take). This is not a requirement, but for those who do this they often complete their qualification with a business platform and paying clients ready to go.

Once you are fully qualified we will work with you to ensure you know where to start as a gym instructor. From making connections with local gyms to understanding what your pathways are for future career development.

We understand fully that a lot of your questions will come after you are qualified, whether you need business advice or help with training your clients. That is why we are always at hand to help and offer guidance as you look to develop and grow your business – the support does not stop after you are qualified.

Delivered by leading fitness professionals

Our practical workshops are delivered by leading fitness professionals, ensuring that you learn from those who have experience and can pass on their own knowledge of how to build your business and grow your client base – and importantly how to apply the practical skills to a range of different clients.

There are two days in total for your Level 2 Certificate in Gym Instructing course, and these are delivered at excellent ‘working-gym’ facilities in a variety of different locations in the UK.

These practical workshops complete the Level 2 Certificate in Gym Instructing course content alongside your online work.

On these workshops you will learn how to coach and instruct exercise to others, as well as how to apply advanced training methods and variables to a range of different clients with different needs and goals.

Re-cap these workshops when you need to

A valuable part to this course is the ability for our students to be able to recap what is taught on these workshops whenever they want to, and they can do that by going back to their online student learning platform.

All of the content we cover on these workshops has been added into our online classroom style lessons to allow you to re-learn and refresh whenever you need to. We have even created an extensive ‘Exercise and Coaching Library’ to help you moving forwards into the industry.

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 and a potentially future Personal Trainer, 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 and lifestyle 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 a client.

As well as documenting a clients journey through their training and promotion of a healthy & active lifestyle, you will complete the course by submitting to us a filmed assessment of you training your client in a gym  environment.

This filmed assessment is again done in your own time and in your own environment, giving a real relaxed sense to the assessment, allowing you to truly be yourself and to also document your transition from study to being a fully qualified Personal Trainer.

Note: We can also arrange ‘in-person’ assessments.

This Level 2 Certificate in Gym Instructing course essentially teaches the fundamental coaching skills that all Personal Trainers must have good knowledge of.

The learning experience flows a lot better for our students when you are able to complete your Level 2 qualification and then immediately add the advanced training methods and subject knowledge of the Level 3 course.
