Circuit Training Instructor
Circuit training is still an incredibly popular mode of exercise which combines both bodyweight and resistance exercises with cardiovascular activities in order to provide participants with a whole-body exercise experience.
Circuit training instructors don’t typically perform their role full-time; instead they normally teach classes in addition to their full-time mode of employment, which may or may not be in the fitness profession.
Circuit training instructors perform a variety of roles during their classes, including:
- -Screening participants to ensure that it is safe to exercise
- -Encouraging and motivating participants during the session
- -Demonstrating new exercise techniques
- -Correcting and adapting participant’s exercise techniques
- -Planning circuit classes to ensure the sessions are effective and fun
Circuit Training Instructor Opportunities
Circuit Training instructors usually work on a self-employed or freelance basis and as such the opportunities available to them are only limited by their own initiative, drive and ambition. Common employers of circuit training instructors include:
- -Private health clubs like David Lloyd, Next Generation and Bannatyne’s
- -Secondary schools
- -Colleges
- -Universities
- -Leisure centres
- -Weight management centres
- -Boot camps
- -Village halls / community centres- for self or on behalf on an employer
Circuit Training Instructor Pay
The rate of pay for a circuit training instructor will be similar to that of an exercise to music instructor; as such this will vary from one employer to the next, and the mode of employment.
Freelancers typically earn between £15.00-£25.00 per hour or session depending on their employer, although those who work for themselves, have a potentially uncapped income.
If for example a circuit training instructor ran their own sessions, and has 15 people attended, their earnings for the session could be:
15 x £3.50 = £52.50*
*Clearly the rental fee for the venue would need to be subtracted from this sum, in addition to the cost of purchasing any equipment required.
