Am I Suited For This Job?

You should be in excellent physical shape, a creative and energetic person with coordination and a sense of rhythm.
You should have good communication skills, an outgoing personality, able to generate enthusiasm and motivate clients

As a fitness instructor, you must love to work out. While teaching, you not only demonstrate correct technique, but you also break a sweat!

You may only spend a couple of hours a day teaching classes. Therefore, many instructors also have other jobs, such as being a personal trainer or working in sales or marketing. Classes are often held in the evenings and on weekends to accommodate those who are at school or work during regular business hours.

You should be a good communicator. Fitness instructors don’t just run classes; you also talk to and advise people before, during, and after class.

You should also be willing to learn and try new things, such as new exercise techniques.

You may suffer falls and strains from exercising, but by being careful and knowing your limits, you can usually prevent injuries.
