Get Started

The content of our Gym Instructor Course meets the Professional Standards as set by the Chartered Institute for the Management of Sport and Physical Activity (CIMSPA) and the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM). Our industry leading course developers have utilised the theory of synoptic learning to aid the retention of knowledge & application of practical skills.

The cAmpus Gym Instructor course follows the journey of meeting & greeting a member, taking them through the initial consultation & then programming a workout; just as you would in a real-world situation. This is unlike most other courses where you learn the bones & joints first, then the muscles & so on. You only learn these elements as & when required, putting them immediately into practice. This instant link between knowledge & practice strengthens retention and recall of the information.

You will cover:

  • Anatomy and physiology
  • Analysis of client information
  • Effective coaching models
  • Health risk stratification
  • Communication and interpersonal skills
  • Health and safety
  • Planning and instructing gym-based exercise
  • And much more…
