Choosing the apt fitness courses and fitness instructor courses

India has become a lot more fitness conscious in the past decade & the awareness is clearly growing day by day. Hence it is not surprising that a career as a Fitness Professional is now proving to be very rewarding in terms of remuneration & job satisfaction in changing peoples lives for the better. Hence the need of the hour is well qualified & educated Fitness Professionals who understand the human body & its response to Exercise.

It’s a given that to succeed in this industry, passion & an unquenching thirst for knowledge is a must. One more requirement in this industry which actually benefits the professional is the need to keep oneself in shape. A big role of the Fitness professional is to inspire & you can only inspire if you lead by example. Your body should be validation for the scientific principles you teach to your clients.

It all starts with first finding a State of The Art Fitness Academy that has a dedicated professionally qualified faculty that teaches a comprehensive curriculum vis-à-vis Fitness Sciences. It should also have state of the Art amenities to provide the equipment needed for teaching the students practically as well.

Many young and aspiring fitness instructors are undertaking online fitness courses. It cannot be emphasized enough how dangerous this trend is, for you and for all your future students. Personal training cannot be taught on the Internet; it is not an MBA or a distance learning diploma. You need to be in constant touch with your faculty and understand all the proper techniques. You cannot possibly learn that via the Internet, so please don’t get taken in by this latest fad.

Responsible Academies dedicated to teaching offer Courses in several languages to see to it that language is not a barrier to learning for an intelligent student. You can do this course in English, Hindi, and Marathi and the best thing is the certificate you procure at the end of the course will be the same for all the students. So, if you are more comfortable with a certain language, you must opt to do the courses in the language you are most fluent in. This will ensure your success in passing the course.
In the case of vernacular mediums of teaching, the K11 Fitness Academy has been the pioneer & is still probably the only Academy that provides study matter (Manuals) duly & professionally translated into Hindi & Marathi. The Theory, Practical & Viva exams are also conducted in all the 3 languages.

Fitness instructor courses have evolved, become very international and it has now become an enviable field. A basic Personal Training Course is usually for two months and this course is perfect if you are just commencing your fitness career. But after this course you must upgrade your knowledge by doing the Personal Trainer For Special Populations Course. This will give you the added edge to be able to tackle members with special medical problems. This course will help you understand the exercise indications & contraindications of people with ailments such as Diabetes, Cardiovascular Disease, orthopedic problems and sport injuries. If you are serious about fitness, doing both the courses will help catapult you to the top of your field.
