There are strict rules on the clothes of fitness instructors. Wear a stand-up T-shirt on the upper body and loose sweatpants or shorts on the lower body. It is forbidden to wear any tight-fitting or overexposed clothing. On the one hand, because the fitness instructor's figure is very strong and handsome, wearing clothes that show his figure will put pressure on the members' psychology and even produce inferiority complex; On the other hand, keeping healthy and serious clothes can also keep a proper sense of distance from students and avoid other people's daydreams. Fitness instructor's clothes should be changed every day to keep them clean and tidy, preferably without wrinkles.
Secondly, the fitness instructor will stay in the gym for more than ten hours every day and will accompany members to do various sports. Long-term high-intensity exercise will inevitably lead to a lot of sweating, so keeping the body odor fresh is also the etiquette that fitness coaches should pay attention to.
Contact members and exercise discretion.
Fitness instructors are bound to have physical contact when giving lessons to members, so they should always be measured when contacting members. On the one hand, we should always smile when practicing and encourage members with words from time to time. On the other hand, we should not be too enthusiastic and go beyond the boundaries between coaches and members. Fitness instructors should be careful not to talk about personal problems with each other and not to pry into each other's privacy when giving classes to members of the opposite sex. Learn to listen rather than pour out, but participate in your own subjective opinions.
After the fitness instructor leads the students to finish the equipment, they will massage and relax their muscles. Out of respect for members, when you may come into contact with members' skin, you should say hello in advance and get the consent of the other party. Secondly, when touching each other's skin, the fitness instructor should put a clean towel between his hand and the member's skin. When the female coach relaxes the arm for the female member, the towel will slide down the arm of the member after massage, which makes people feel kind and soft; When a female coach relaxes her arms for a male player, she will take off her towel directly after the prescribed relaxation action, step back and smile at the player.
Make good use of incentives to channel emotions.
Fitness instructors sometimes play a role in reducing stress. Some white-collar workers may be unpredictable because of the pressure of work during the day. Once, a female player was practicing equipment, and Fu Hui reminded her to "do it twice" according to the fitness plan made in advance. After listening to this, the member shouted, "I'm exhausted. I can't do it." Why do you want me to do it? 1 Fu Hui suddenly felt embarrassed, but after calming down, this member must have encountered something unpleasant during the day and could not control his emotions before making such a move. Fu Hui realized that she should behave as if nothing had happened, and tried to calm her emotions and let the training class be completed smoothly. So he said to her, "I'm sorry, let's relax first." The members' emotions gradually calmed down. In the following training, Fu Hui used incentives to resolve her bad emotions from time to time. After a day of training, the students took the initiative to find Fu Hui and apologized for their rudeness.
brief and to the point
● Safety first.
Fitness exercise is full of energy, but it is also in danger of injury. As a fitness instructor, you should lead students to make full preparations before training, move all parts of the body, and ensure that there will be no muscle strain when practicing equipment. Secondly, the training plan should be scientific and reasonable. According to each student's different physiological and physical conditions, make a training plan that meets individual characteristics. For beginners, more attention should be paid to whether to adapt to the intensity and events of each training. In the process of practice, the fitness instructor should always pay attention to the physical condition of the students, stop training immediately if they feel a little uncomfortable, and let the students find a place to sit down and rest and replenish some water.
● Protect students' privacy.
Fitness instructors will have a lot of personal information of members, such as address, telephone number, age, identity and so on. , belonging to the privacy of members. Fitness instructors are absolutely not allowed to disclose this information to others in any way. This is a basic professional principle of fitness instructors and an important aspect of gaining the trust of members.
● Do not discriminate against members with physical defects.
Some members who come to exercise are not very graceful, too fat or too thin. Out of politeness, the fitness instructor can't express his views on members' bodies by words or body movements, let alone discuss members' bodies with others. In the process of practice, we should constantly encourage these members to help them build their self-confidence. For members with physical disabilities, the fitness instructor should give more care, especially to assist in the protection work to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the practice process. At the same time, we should also grasp the degree and not interfere in everything. Some disabled people should let themselves do what they can. At this time, if you are too attentive, you will resent each other.
Have high requirements on appearance
Experience and service consciousness
Not only understand the knowledge of sports science, but also help customers to formulate personalized sports programs and nutritious diet programs.
First of all, a fitness instructor should have a clear understanding of his work.
In some gyms, it is often seen that coaches make "bodybuilding" training plans for people who participate in fitness for the first time, instead of fitness plans. Men, women and children are all alike. This is not only unreasonable, but even dangerous! You know, most people who go to the gym just want to keep fit, for health and for figure, and not all people want to be bodybuilders. And everyone's situation is very different. There are men and women, old people, short people, fat people, thin people, healthy people, sub-healthy people, unhealthy people and injuries. These situations should be treated separately, not "equally". The coach's job should be to make a short-term training plan for everyone according to their current situation, and through periodic tests, constantly adjust the training plan and guide them to train. This requires extensive relevant knowledge and skills.
Secondly, fitness instructors should have solid basic knowledge.
In teaching practice, many fitness coaches make mistakes in demonstrating movements, and they are very elementary. The reason is the lack of basic knowledge. For fitness coaches, sports anatomy and sports biomechanics are the basic foundations. If these two basic courses are not clear, it is easy to make mistakes in training actions, or it is impossible to judge the correctness of an action. For example, in biceps brachii training, when doing barbell bending, the common mistakes are ineffective reduction of resistance moment and blind use of heavy objects. Furthermore, when doing a lot of movements, the inertia of the pendulum is used to reduce the effective load and affect the training effect. There are many coaches who think they have studied muscle anatomy. You can ask in detail what are the starting and ending points of several large muscles and what are their main functions. Some can't say it, some can't say it at all, and some can recite words but don't understand their actual spatial relationship. When you do an action, you don't know if you are wrong, which is inevitable. These people should learn basic courses well and apply them to practical training.
Third, the fitness instructor should know what it is and why.
Some fitness instructors are satisfied with knowing several movements of pectoralis major and several methods of biceps brachii, or learning one or two fat-reducing methods from some magazines. When asked what the reason is and why, it is not clear. Mr. Kong said that if you are given a fish, you can only enjoy one fish. Learn to fish, and you can enjoy the life of fish. Therefore, instead of learning one or two specific methods from magazines, it is better to systematically learn relevant subject knowledge. In that way, you can learn how to solve problems fundamentally, you can master more methods, and even you can create new methods. For fitness coaches, if they want to know the principle of fitness more deeply, they should also spend time studying sports training, sports physiology and sports nutrition.
Fourth, senior fitness instructors should master deeper professional knowledge. In order to know more about the mystery of sports fitness, besides the basic knowledge, we should study sports biochemistry, sports medicine and sports psychology, deeply understand human science, arrange sports training, diet nutrition and rest reasonably, and use sports nutrition supplements correctly to regulate people's physical and mental health.
Fifth, senior fitness instructors should be knowledgeable. There are some disciplines that seem to be not directly related to sports and fitness, which should also attract the attention of fitness coaches. Such as: mechanical principles, foreign languages, art, etc. Through the study of these knowledge, we can improve the comprehensive quality of fitness coaches and play a positive role in improving their level.
To sum up, as a fitness instructor, besides attending formal fitness training, it is more important to strengthen business learning. We should have a long-term study plan, patience and perseverance. You can't stop when you encounter difficulties. As long as you persist for a long time, your professional level will be improved and you will become a qualified senior fitness instructor.
