Learn More About Becoming a Gym Instructor
Intro
Gyms, leisure centres and health clubs are vibrant and fast-paced places to work. Every client that walks through the door is different and for a fitness instructor, no two days are ever going to be the same.
Many see becoming a gym instructor as a stepping stone to advancing to personal training, and while it is an entry requirement for that course, it’s an incredibly rewarding job in its own right. Day to day, gym instructors find themselves performing inductions for new members, maintaining exercise equipment, giving diet advice, planning sessions, ensuring the environment is clean and tidy at all times, and much more.
Our Level 2 Gym Instructor course is fully accredited by YMCA Awards and recognised by REPs and CIMSPA, which means the door is open to use this qualification internationally. Delivered via blended learning, this flexible approach combines home study with unlimited phone and email support, bespoke learning resources, and practical attendance at one of our nationwide venues.
Looking for more? Well, that’s what we’re all about. Why not have a look at our personal trainer career guides and articles.
What You'll Learn
From theory to practical, you’ll learn exactly what it takes to become a leading gym instructor. Below is a selection of the topics you’ll encounter on course:
Plus, you’ll also gain vital knowledge of effective warm-up and cool-down methods, bodyweight and free weight exercise techniques, all-important health and safety, and much more.
How You'll be Assessed
We’ve split the course into multiple components which will challenge you and assess you in a range of exciting theoretical and practical ways.
Regardless of your learning style and speed, you’ll receive as much support as you need in order to pass.
Entry Requirements
Every fitness professional has to start somewhere and as this is an entry-level course, there are no formal entry requirements or prerequisites.
What will help you get off to flying start however is some experience of using cardiovascular and resistance equipment, as well as free weights, in your local gym.
Timetable
Before your first practical course weekend, we recommend 6-8 weeks of home study (based on an hour a day).
That will give you plenty of time to read through your Level 2 Anatomy and Physiology and Level 2 Gym Instructor manuals and use LES (the Learner Engagement System) to complete the various workbooks.

very supportive and enjoyable
2014-12-10All learning resources were received within a short time following payment. The support from my personal tutor was amazing, always at the end of a phone or email if I was in need. Helping break down anything I wasn't sure of until it started to make sense.

Great support and guidance
2018-02-21Having undertaken an extensive and challenging set of qualifications with HFE over the last couple of years, I have to say the tutors, support and course materials provided were first class. Whilst the standards required to pass are high, HFE were with me every step of the way in providing guidance and support to help achieve the qualifications. I would highly recommend HFE as a great training provider.
