How to Become a Group Fitness Instructor
If you want to start teaching classes you should have been taking group fitness classes for a while.
You should be on a fitness path yourself so that you can be an inspiration to others. That does not mean you have to be a certain low body fat percentage, but rather that you have found a successful way to change your life by integrating exercise. This means you are now a role model and want to inspire others to fitness!
Decide what class type you would like to learn to teach and then email melanie@lvac.com to find out about upcoming workshops.
Once you have completed your specialty training, you will have to put together a class based on what you have learned. As a member of LVAC. You can then schedule an appointment with Melanie Byrne melanie@lvac.com to mentor teach.
If you qualify for mentor teaching and have passed your audition, you will then have a year to complete your general Group Fitness Certification through ACE (www.acefitness.com) or AFAA (www.afaa.com).
