The Level 2 Certificate in Gym Instructing aims to provide learners with the knowledge and skills that are needed to plan, deliver and supervise safe but effective exercise programmes within a gym or health club environment.

During the qualification learners will cover:

• Professionalism for fitness instructing.

Some experience of gym-based exercises, including free weights, is highly recommended.

Learners must complete the five mandatory units.
