What will you learn
At Level 2 Gym Instructor, you’ll learn the foundations of fitness instructing in a safe, supportive environment. You’ll explore anatomy, exercise principles, and the fundamentals of fitness, while developing the skills to support clients and maintain a safe training space.
You’ll also learn how to conduct initial consultations, set client goals, and turn them into practical, adaptable training plans. By the end of the course, you’ll instruct your very first client session giving you the confidence to step out of the classroom ready to work with real clients.
How you'll be assessed
The course is broken into clear, manageable units, each assessed through a combination of simple theory worksheets and practical tasks. You'll receive a learner achievement portfolio (coursework pack) which has all the assessments to complete.
There’s no intimidating multiple-choice exam like you may have seen on other courses.
Instead, the Anatomy & Physiology section is completed as a structured worksheet, allowing you to demonstrate real understanding rather than memorising answers under pressure. You can complete your worksheets by hand or online... whichever suits you best.
All practical assessments take place during your 2-day attendance, where you’ll demonstrate your skills in a supportive, real-world environment.
You have the flexibility to complete some assessments before the attendance weekend, or take your time with the study and finish your written coursework afterwards whichever works best for you.
Should you refer any assessments you simply redo it. There are no additional fees to retake any assessment.
