become a fitness instructor

I am close to being ready to take the ACSM test. Should have this goal checked off in the next 4 months.

Post-its are stuck everywhere in my house with important definitions. I must pass this test!! I’m also dedicating my Saturday to revision and finishing off the paperwork in plenty of time.

My last theory lesson. I’m doing a practise exam today and I’m so nervous to take the real one next week! But, as with everything, if I don’t succeed the first time – try again.

I am taking the final day of my ACSM prep course tomorrow. I will just have to study a little more so that I can pass the cert on my first try!

I have my theory in two weeks and practical teaching exam in six! I’m currently looking for gym jobs, and if I get one soon, that would be the icing on the cake.

Whahoooo! Wednesday it was my first working day. I was a bit unsecure about my knowledge in stuff but happily it worked out great. On November the 29th I will start my Fitness instructor A course. The thing I love the most is the contact with people. Talking with new people and getting them motivated.

I’ve recently fallen in love with fitness and health. I’m taking a gap year before I start graduate school and during that time I want to become a fitness instructor. I need on how and where to go, I’ve looked online but there are a lot of ways to get “certified.” Any advice?

Whahoo, that was great yesterday. It was very interesting, we learned the basics about fitness. The basic dry fitness exercises:
- Squat
- Crunch (with or without softball support)
- Plank with ball
- Triceps (push up and with barbell)
- Biceps

After this, we will hear who of the group will get the full fitness course, and so on the exam. Nice.

Got the results from my video assessment. I am officially certified in BodyVive.

BodyPump workshop starts May 2nd.

I have mailed my video in. Now I wait to hear back from the Assessment Dept. I wonder how long that takes…
