Intro
Our Level 2 Exercise to Music qualification provides an exciting entry-level route into the fitness industry. It’s perfectly tailored for those looking to become an ETM or group exercise instructor, particularly if you’re interested teaching private classes. The course has also proved incredibly popular for those looking to teach lucrative pre-choreographed programmes like Zumba, Bokwa, Insanity, and Les Mills. If any of those areas interest you then this qualification is a must-have to advance your career.
YMCA Awards (formerly CYQ) provide certification for this course, while REPs award 20 CPD points for this qualification. As there are no formal prerequisites, besides some basic experience of exercise to music, it really is a rewarding way to get into the industry.
The course is delivered using blended learning, which our a tried and tested method for delivering the best education experience possible. You’ll initially complete a period of home study, supported by our experienced tutors and comprehensive online resources. The practical elements of the course require four days of attendance, split over two weekends. Finally, there are a series of assessments which allow you to demonstrate everything you’ve learned up to that point.
Group exercise tutors, particularly ETM, are the backbone of studio-based exercise. The popularity of this field continues to grow and this provides near limitless employment opportunities. The most popular route is becoming a freelance instructor, teaching either your own classes, or pre-choreographed ones (e.g. Les Mills). There’s an immense amount of freedom and creativity to be found in exercise to music, and we frequently hear about past students establishing themselves in the industry without ever teaching a class in a gym. This qualification also provides an easy to progression route to Level 3 group exercise such as Pilates and yoga.

Level 2+3 combined
2014-12-17I have recently finished my L2+3 combined qualification in gym instructing and personal training. I thought this course was excellent, all of the staff at HFE are friendly, encouraging and most of all motivating. They really help you through your distance learning and provide webinars for you to attend.

Brilliant course, excellent value
2017-07-29I had a really fantastic experience doing my Level 2 qualification with HFE at Roehampton. I've never done any form of fitness qualification before so was certainly nervous going into it...I needn't have been!
