I am thinking about getting the group instructor certification but don’ t know where to begin?
I don’ t have any degree in physical education, I have passion and go to all the group classes my gym offers, one thing I can’ t understand is how and where do you learn how to plan the routine for the class , how to choose the music and so on,is it really just enough to study the material the ACE or other agency gives you?
Well, you can always ask the people at the gym what they had to do to get their certifications to teach group fitness. Some gyms will offer these courses to their own members (as another way of getting revenue as well as a way to recruit their own members to be a part of staff or volunteer). The training provided may be developed as an in-house training for their staff, or it may follow an established curriculum that’s been laid out by an agency or certifying body.
