Your start in the Group Fitness world: why the Grundlagen Gruppenfitness training is the perfect first step
Music, energy and a group of highly motivated people sweating together – group fitness is the highlight of training for many.
But who actually stands at the front and sets the beat?
If you have always dreamed of sharing your passion for movement and motivating others, then getting started as a Group Fitness Instructor is exactly the right thing for you.
The update Akademie offers, with its Grundlagen Gruppenfitness training, the perfect foundation for this career path. In this blog post you will learn what makes this training special and why it is your springboard into the fitness industry.
What awaits you in the basic Group Fitness training?
The update Akademie training is designed to teach you all the essential basic skills. It is the mandatory prerequisite for all advanced group fitness trainings (such as Aerobic, Cycling, Pump or Kick Power Instruktor) and consists of two central modules: Basic Heart and Basic Moves.
1. Basic Heart: the theoretical foundation (CHF 460.-)
Before you stand in front of a group, you must understand how the human body works. The Basic Heart module is a purely theoretical online training that deals intensively with the following topics:
- Anatomy & physiology: bones, joints, muscles, cardiovascular and respiratory system.
- Training theory: How does the body adapt to endurance and strength training? How does energy supply work?
Tip: For the Power Yoga or Pilates Instruktor trainings, completing this single Basic Heart module is even enough!
2. Basic Moves: the practice of teaching (CHF 460.-)
Once the theory is in place, it is time to put it into practice. The Basic Moves module teaches you the tools of a successful instructor:
- Music theory: sense of rhythm, musical phrases and the targeted use of music.
- Technique & didactics: basic steps, verbal and non-verbal communication (cueing) and building a lesson.
- Practical transfer: After the theoretical preparation and an online exam comes an on-site practical day, during which you practise teaching in front of a group in a realistic way and receive valuable feedback from experts.
With the completion of both modules (total cost CHF 920.-) you can even start immediately and teach your first course programmes such as Simply Core, P.I.I.T or upCon!
