Thanks to Instagram and other social media, the fitness industry is encouraging millions of people to improve their fitness, get stronger and feel healthier.
Sportsability Fitness Training is an Active IQ training provider, working with people from all different backgrounds setting them on their fitness career journey.
Courses range from Level 2 Fitness Instructor Gym and Level 2 Exercise to Music to a Level 3 Diploma in Gym Instructing and Personal Training, as well as add-on courses including spin sessions, aqua fitness and specialist training for working with children and the elderly. Sportsability Fitness Training has the course to suit any level.
Suzanne Mathers is the Director of Sportsability Fitness Training. She says:
“As an Active IQ provider of fitness training courses, we have recently had a revamp of our website to focus on providing training for people wanting to get into the fitness industry and also for those with a passion for fitness to manage this in addition to their day job.”
“Social media is having a major impact on the fitness sector, spreading a wealth of knowledge and inspiring people of all ages to improve their health, increase fitness and feel better about their bodies.”
“The Level 2 Instructing Fitness for Gym or Group Training is the gateway qualification for anyone who wants to follow this career path. It is the best way to get into the sector.”
“We are also working with local gyms and health clubs to train their current teams. A lot of these gyms struggle to find suitable staff and so for anyone who loves fitness, has excellent people skills and charisma – this industry is ideal.”
“We are fortunate to be supported by some of the best fitness centres in East Yorkshire, delivery of our training is at Cottingham Parks, Total Fitness and Nuffield Health and the market has never looked so good, worth an estimated £5bn with thousands of gyms around the UK.
“I myself joined the industry a bit later in life, after working in another role and then having my family. I qualified as a PT and also work as a swimming coach for pre-school and disabled children as well as coordinating PE packages in schools across East Yorkshire and Hull.”
“Making the move into fitness was the best thing I ever did and I can recommend it to anyone who enjoys working out and working with people, as it will be a very rewarding opportunity.”
“We have recently added a mental health awareness course which, when combined provides the full package for people to work in this sector. This includes; Level 2 Mental Health Awareness and Level 2 Safeguarding Children and Vulnerable Adults.”
The Sportsability team is taking a stand at the Bonus Arena’s Sport Health and Fitness Show on Saturday 25th May. They will be running a competition to win a voucher towards one of their courses and will have trainers on hand to discuss course requirements and career prospects.
