- The main most important factor in any of the Body Fitness Exercise programs be it free style or pre-choreograph programs, is to know how to teach. I’ve seen many highly qualified instructors that do not know how to relate instructions to their students and so their classes remain poor or average attendance.
- No matter how qualified you are and if you are not able to relate your teachings to your students, sorry to say you are no difference from a new comer.
- There are many institutes or courses of the programs that ‘teach how to teach’. They teach you how to plan and teach a fitness class as an Exercise Fitness Trainer in aerobics. You can practice giving cues or verbal instructions there.
- In the beginning this is how I started, I try to practice being a Body Fitness Exercise aerobic instructor with 2 colleagues of mine and they are the cleaners of the fitness club. They were my best students. Practice with your family or friends, and if they can follow what you are teaching, you are quite ready for commercial classes.
- The music that you select for your class as an Exercise Fitness Trainer is important as more higher intensity classes, the music must be upbit and sets the mood and gradually transits to higher levels.
- For mind and body classes, choose those that relaxes the mind like the sounds of the nature, streams, the waves, the rain and some light musical instruments.
- (Tips!) Selection of music is important as it sets in the mood and many times if you have a great music, the students will often come up to you and tell you they love your music selections.
- Before you teach in those big commercial mega gyms, you may want to teach for a while in community centers, smaller health clubs, corporate companies and hospitals to get your experience.
- You will be are paid on per class basis and it depends on your fitness education background, experience and feedback received from the students.
