Instructor Jobs in Shelby Township, MI

A Fitness Instructor, also known as a Fitness Trainer, serves a pivotal role in the fitness and recreation industry through facilitating exercise routines and advising clients on health and nutrition. They design and lead fitness programs tailored to individual or group needs, ensuring proper exercise techniques, equipment use, and safety. Fitness instructors also motivate clients to achieve their fitness goals, provide feedback, and adjust fitness plans as needed. They may work in various settings such as gyms, fitness studios, or clients' homes. A fitness instructor should be physically fit, have excellent communication and interpersonal skills, and possess a deep understanding of human anatomy and physiology.

A Fitness Instructor should ideally have a certification in personal training or a related field from a recognized organization like the American Council on Exercise (ACE), National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM), or International Sports Sciences Association (ISSA). Some may even have specialized certifications for specific types of training, such as yoga or pilates. First aid and CPR certifications are also crucial for fitness trainers, as they may need to handle emergency situations during training sessions. Prior to becoming a Fitness Instructor, a person might work as an Exercise Instructor, Fitness Assistant, or even a Sports Coach, roles that provide valuable experience and knowledge in physical training and client interaction.
