Before I became a coach, I was engaged in the operation of Hungry website. Long-term high-pressure work and anxiety have caused my weight to soar. I remember I hadn't been out of the office for three months, so I resigned. In the gap between finding a new job, in order to enrich myself, I set the banner of losing weight and made up my mind to get a fitness card and formally join the fitness army.
When I was in the gym, I took an aerobics class. If I don't understand, I'll ask the coach and my fitness partner. After a period of persistence, I found that my weight was out of the box. Until I find a new job, I still have to exercise after work every night before I go back. The pace of life finally returned to normal, and I slept well and was full of energy the next day.
Summer fitness season is coming, and every night after work, I have to grab a place to do exercises, and there is no C position every time after work. I got up the courage to go to class with the coaches. Slowly, I found a problem that I would take every movement more seriously on stage than off stage, because too many people watched it, which in turn inspired me to improve my sports performance.
By chance, I went to a coach training exchange meeting. Just before class, the coach on the same stage asked me to give it a try, so I took part in a whole set of training and got the qualification to attend class, and inadvertently became a group class coach. The key is that I can work during the day, attend classes at night and continue to exercise at the same time. And I personally enjoy the sense of accomplishment of helping students become thinner, happier and healthier. ?
It took me less than three months from starting fitness to becoming a fitness instructor. What have I done? Why not? The key is to find a career that suits you and enjoys it. From hungry operation to general work, I have a sense of mission and accomplishment. Romantically speaking, I think I will spend the rest of my life with my fitness career.
Dry goods dividing line
Which fitness instructor makes more money? At present, personal trainers earn a lot, and as long as you are professional enough, the higher you rank in the circle, the greater the income space, because this is the only type of coach that can choose students according to your own specialties, and you can also achieve yourself in the segmentation field while teaching students. I'm talking about private education in a broad sense, including gym private education, swimming teachers, rehabilitation teachers and so on. There is a legend that swimming teachers are busy eating for one year every two months.
I'm the group coach. At present, my time flexibility is equivalent to half a freelance job, and my income can be stabilized at the level of 10 thousand yuan per month. I feel that the income growth of most league coaches at this stage mainly lies in getting more for more work. For example, unit price 100 yuan. If you want to earn more than 10,000 yuan, you need 100 class to complete. There is still room for improvement. As long as the ability matches, you can also take classes with higher class fees. In the final analysis, we should improve ourselves. ?
As far as my personal experience is concerned, the promotion of league class coaches can be roughly divided into two stages, the first stage is training schools, and the second stage is special training. If you want to become a regular fitness instructor, I suggest you find a qualification training institution, systematically learn theoretical knowledge and how to choose an institution. Since you exercise all the year round, you can ask the coaches you know, or people who have obtained the coaching qualification certificate in the same situation as you, and you can also have a good reputation. You must choose a regular fitness institution from the dimensions of registration information, scale and price tag, and avoid that kind of private pheasant institution. ?
The last lesson in college is sales. Yes, you need to be able to sell yourself and answer questions, but in fact, those sales skills must be based on your professional ability. I remember a truth: when students are not sure whether your coach is suitable for them, please practice your body first. ?
When you graduate from college and get a certificate of completion, you will have a stepping stone to become a fitness instructor. Colleges usually recommend internship opportunities. You can also find your favorite coach to be his teaching assistant and ask people face to face if they need it. Coaches, like all teachers, need to prepare lessons in advance for each class and design courses in order to output your professional knowledge as much as possible.
When you have the special ability you want to improve, you can take the certificate, that is, the special certificate, which is the second stage I said. At present, the examination documents range from 2000 to 1 1,000. When I took the exam, it was only 1 1,000, which is increasing every year. You can invest as much money as you want in the early stage. The key is to apply what you have learned, otherwise it is nothing. If you go in the direction of senior coach, the class fee will naturally come up. ?
Finally, I want to say that no matter what the original intention of this matter is, if you want to make achievements in this matter, you must stick to it by love.
