is essential for all aspiring and qualified fitness instructors.
This resource includes fundamentals and best practices of concepts,

fitness instructors perform on the job, covering the knowledge,
skills and abilities needed for level 3 classification in the
European Qualifications Framework (EQF), the baseline standards for
registered fitness instructors in Europe. It provides mechanical

lifestyle management and exercise adherence. Current and future
fitness instructors will learn ideal ways to do the following: *
Build rapport and motivate participants. * Identify participants'
motives and goals. * Prepare appropriate choreography and use
music. * Provide effective and safe instruction; display and
provide feedback on technique; and give advice on intensity,
progressions and adaptations. * Deliver excellent customer service
and be a positive role model for participants in a clean and safe
environment. The book begins by addressing customer service and
communication. By first detailing the principles of customer
service, the importance of communication in teaching and how to
provide and receive feedback, fitness instructors can receive the
information that follows with the proper mind-set. The book then
delves into the core of physiology of individual fitness training,
giving instructors a solid base from which to work with clients.
Chapters on cardiorespiratory exercise and resistance exercise
explain the science and training methods specific to each type of
workout, including optimal warm-ups and cool-downs, adaptations and
matters of safety. A chapter on principles of training, including
progression, dose-response relationship, specificity, overload and
reversibility, ties all of these concepts together. The second half
of the book deals with effective group instruction, specifying how
to incorporate the science of training with the art of class
leadership. Preparing for, delivering and even ending a class come
with particular strategies that will boost retention and results,
and three chapters on music and choreography take the guesswork out
of structuring a routine. Finally, a chapter on stress management
offers an overview of the effects of stress on health, symptoms to
watch for and relaxation techniques. The book concludes with an
appendix of the EuropeActive EQF level 3 standards for reference.
Aspiring and qualified fitness instructors have a duty of care to
keep up with the latest health and fitness standards.
EuropeActive's Essentials for Fitness Instructors ensures
instructors are properly servving their industry and their clients.
For those who promote physical activity and healthier lifestyles,
there is no other title with more authority in Europe.
