What will you learn
Your one-day course is divided into four practical workshops, taking you from the foundations of circuit training through to confident group coaching and delivering effective circuit sessions.
Workshop 1 — Master The Fundamentals
Learn the foundations of safe and effective circuit training, including circuit structures, exercise selection, layouts and training variables. You’ll explore different ways to organise circuits and create effective full-body workouts using minimal or no equipment.
Workshop 2 — Learn To Coach Circuits
Develop your coaching cues, tone of voice, teaching position and observation skills while learning how to instruct and adapt exercises for different clients, abilities and fitness levels.
Workshop 3 — Build Effective Sessions
Learn how to plan and structure engaging circuit sessions, including commander-style, satellite and call-out circuits. You’ll also explore games, challenges and different coaching styles to keep groups motivated and sessions dynamic.
Workshop 4 — Put It Into Practice
Bring everything together by planning and delivering your own circuit session in a small-group setting. You’ll practise leading a group, adapting exercises and managing the flow of a session, before exploring how to introduce circuit training into your business through classes, packages and pricing.
Show. Practice. Assess.
There’s no stressful final practical exam. Your skills are assessed formatively throughout the day as you learn, practise and coach in small-group settings.
You’ll receive guidance and feedback as you go, helping you leave the course confident, competent and ready to deliver circuit training with your clients.
Your 1-Day Practical Training
Your face-to-face training takes place at our Milton Keynes Academy, from 9:00am–4:30pm.
Across the day, you’ll take part in four practical workshops, giving you plenty of time to learn, practise and develop your circuit training and group coaching skills.
Around 80–90% of the day is practical. You’ll learn different circuit formats, practise planning and delivering sessions, develop your group coaching cues, communication and instruction skills, and put everything into practice by coaching small groups.
And you don’t need to be super-fit to take part.
This isn’t a test of your fitness. It’s about learning how to coach groups effectively.
You’ll be supported throughout the day by your tutor, with plenty of opportunities to practise, ask questions, receive feedback and build your confidence.
By the end of the day, you’ll have learned, practised and coached a range of circuit sessions, giving you the practical skills and confidence to lead group-based training in your own fitness business.
How you'll be assessed
There’s no stressful final practical assessment on this one-day CPD course.
Instead, your assessment is ongoing throughout the day, as you coach individuals and small groups during each practical workshop.
You’ll also complete a Circuits Instructor Worksheet, helping you consolidate your learning and demonstrate your understanding of key coaching principles and session planning.
Our Show. Practice. Assess. approach means you learn a skill, practise it with guidance, receive feedback and then demonstrate your understanding as you progress.
This creates a more relaxed and effective learning experience, helping you build confidence, retain what you’ve learned and leave ready to use your circuit coaching skills with clients.
