WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
If you’re looking to develop your very own, unique fitness sessions and programs, Fitness Institute’s Group Fitness (GFI) short course is for you!
On completion of the two nationally recognised units of competency that form part of this course, Instructors and Personal Trainers will be qualified to develop and deliver group fitness sessions that incorporate cardiovascular, resistance and flexibility exercises to people of all ages and fitness levels.
These sessions can be delivered in many locations, for example fitness facilities, health clubs, gyms, leisure and community centres, schools and workplaces.
Graduates not only obtain a set of valuable and sought-after fitness, recreation and leisure industry skills, completing this short course equips learners with the ability to design and deliver individualised group exercise sessions they have either designed themselves or have been developed by others, for example predesigned/pre-choreographed classes.
Examples of some of the many types of group classes that can be developed are:
- Interval training sessions
- High and/or low impact classes
- Stretch, flexibility, and mobility sessions
- Functional fitness sessions
- Abs and core sessions
- Older adult sessions
- Circuit style sessions
- Community fitness classes
- Team building classes
- Corporate fitness classes
