Job description

GLL is looking for a Fitness Instructor based at Rivermead Leisure Centre, Reading to work on a full time basis. Our Fitness Instructors have plenty of energy, ambition and expertise; this is your chance to help people to achieve their fitness potential by becoming a Fitness Instructor.

As a Fitness Instructor, part of your role is to inspire people to train independently and keep coming back helping them understand their fitness aspirations.

As a real people-person, this will come naturally as you quickly build people’s trust and confidence.

If you love variety, you’ll thrive here, as you never know who you’ll be supporting next. A typical day could be anything from providing a personal service in the gym and offering workout advice to checking the equipment and even teaching classes. That means we’re looking for a Fitness Instructor with physical fitness, combined with a can-do attitude and the eye for detail needed for paperwork. An obvious passion for all things fitness will need to shine through all you do too, so that you can make a positive difference to people’s lives.

What you’ll do:

• Collecting and checking information, relating to individual clients
• Analysing information relating to individual clients
• Identifying and agreeing smart short, medium and long term goals
• Planning, instructing and evaluating safe and appropriate exercise sessions.
• Providing 1-2-1 or group inductions and general exercise programmes, including the introduction to new equipment where appropriate.
• Teach classes or small group training. Training will be given for them to be able to do this.
• Selecting relevant exercises and designing appropriate programmes which address safety at all times
• Producing suitable programme cards for a range of clients/members
• Suggesting relevant exercise adaptations to allow for individual client difference or needs.
• Using logical and progressive teaching methodologies to introduce a range of exercises in relation to client goals.
• Selecting and/or correctly demonstrating a variety of training methods that can be used by clients/members.
• Providing clients/members with general advice on how to progress their individual programmes.
• Providing assistance to clients/members at all times in order to correct unsafe technique where required.
• To positively interact and motivate clients/members using appropriate strategies in order to promote retention and adherence to exercise.
