Gym Instructor

Gym instructors teach and educate trainers in both individual and group settings. Responsibilities can include everything from showing fitness centre members how to use equipment and keeping workout areas clean to teaching group classes focused on HIIT training, boxing, aqua sports, yoga and more.

Gym instructors work face-to-face with trainers of all ages, levels and abilities to help them achieve fitness goals. Depending on your qualification, you might be able to specialise in working with elderly gym members, younger trainers learning how to use equipment or athletes who want to improve in specific areas.
