Can a fitness instructor start as an apprentice?
Fitness instructor is also a kind of exercise. Physical exercise is a bit like chocolate, which is easy to hide; But unlike chocolate, it can make people have a positive attitude towards life. You will get great rewards through exercise, especially when you are a fitness teacher who guides students. When you stand in front of the whole class, you will help them achieve their goals and have fun in the process. I became a fitness instructor six years ago. Although I have loved fitness since I was very young, I haven't handed in any other courses except college English. As an aerobics instructor, I can't play my best in front of students. What should I do? Fortunately, fitness instructors don't have to worry about how to do aerobics in front of students; On the contrary, being a coach requires only two things: being responsible and being sincere to others. With these, you don't have to worry about doing a bad job. It's actually only a matter of time. Mastering knowledge is an important part of fitness instructor's work, which means not only mastering the most fashionable fitness knowledge, but also having some qualification certificates. There are several professional fitness institutions that can provide you with this kind of certificate (see professional fitness association for details), and choose the one that suits you best. You must have a fitness instructor qualification certificate for the following reasons. First of all, it is easier to enter the health club with a qualification certificate; Because some clubs don't allow unlicensed coaches to coach. Students also have more confidence in qualified fitness teachers. Besides, it can also add more confidence to you. As a fitness instructor, you will meet all kinds of people; Some of them are too fat and lack self-confidence. For such people, you must observe their needs keenly, show concern for them, and slowly guide them into the state. This job is not suitable for people who like to give orders and despise others. On the other hand, you don't have to shout like a cheerleader in teaching. If you are good at words, don't let yourself fail. At this point, many students prefer quiet and peaceful teachers. At the same time, ask yourself why you want to be a fitness instructor. If it is just to make money, this reason is not sufficient. Fitness teachers not only teach in class, but also spend some spare time reading, choreographing and studying. Before you enter the fitness club to prepare for teaching, you still have to make some preparations. Novices will pay attention to every move of the fitness instructor and record some satisfaction or deficiency with the fitness instructor and training course in combination with the content of TV video. For example, did the coach give the students enough hints during training? Does the coach give enthusiastic help to the students? Do you like the teaching style of the coach? Now suppose you are a fitness teacher. Make room in the basement of your home and complete a set of aerobics consisting of 32 or 64 movements. Each part consists of four actions, and two parts consist of eight actions. If you find it difficult to connect these movements, try to do the following exercises. Write down several steps of an action on a few small pieces of paper. For example, you should teach students to walk and write down the movements of turning, right, left and superior. If you can't concentrate during exercise, you can try to play some rhythmic songs, such as March, mambo music (from black Cuban music) and so on. Fold these little pieces of paper, put them in the bag and shake the bag; Then take out two pieces of paper and combine the actions recorded on these two pieces of paper; In order to make the connection between these two movements natural, you can take out another piece of paper in your bag and use the action written on this paper as the transition action of the first two movements. And so on until all 32 or 64 actions are completed. When doing these exercises, you should shout while doing them, as if you are really leading students to do sports. If you think it silly to do these exercises by yourself, you can find a friend to do them with. At the same time, you can ask your friends to make some comments on your performance. You also need to buy some special music tapes to match the sports courses of the fitness class. Now introduce some information about the work of health club. Ask the staff in charge of fitness in your club what health clubs there are, and then you can call the nearby health clubs for some specific information. When calling for advice, you should consider the following aspects: What kinds of fitness courses does the club offer? How many fitness instructors are there in the club at present? Is there any conflict between the arrangement of club fitness courses and your teaching progress? Does the club provide training opportunities for new fitness instructors? Does the club provide opportunities for further study? Can the club provide a more advanced fitness instructor qualification certificate? Will you take the test? If so, who will evaluate it? How often is it evaluated? Is there a loudspeaker in the gym? The club will allow coaches to use fitness equipment. Can you get other benefits besides this? When your skills are proficient, is there any chance for further study? Will you be required to sign a non-competitive contract? This means that you will be banned from teaching in other clubs. Please weigh the pros and cons before signing the contract. How much extra time do you need besides class time? Does the club often hold staff meetings? How much will the club pay you? Fitness teacher is a challenging career, and you will certainly get rewards from it. The salary paid to you is just a layer of sugar attached to the cake. What really makes you happy is to see students get fun from fitness exercises, learn knowledge and make life develop in a healthier direction.
