Ever wonder how to start your fitness career?
Here are some pointers...
First, follow your passion and a really good instructor. If you love yoga, Pilates, an athletic blend like PiYo™... find an instructor that you can mentor with. This is a great opportunity to teach part of a class with them there for help while you are getting your feet wet.
Second, depending on where you want to teach. You may need to get a general group exercise certification. A certification that prepares you to teach a safe, well rounded class to the general population. Whether you are required or not, it is a good idea to get this type of certification. It teaches you how to modify and teach a safe, effective class format. The 2 most popular on the west coast are AFAA,
Aerobics and Fitness Association of America, or ACE,
American Council on Excercise.
Third, get a specialty certification in the area you feel passionate about. Love kickboxing? Get a
Turbo Kick™ Certification. Love a challenging, athletic, sweaty, hard core,
mind/body format? Get a
PiYo™ Cerification.
Fourth, put the ego away. Never, ever, ever stop learning. Never stop pursuing knowledge. Never think you have it all.
Now... You are ready. Ready, set, pursue your fitness career.
