Level 2 Gym Instructor Training
Become a fully qualified Gym instructor.
The Fettle Level 2 Gym Instructor course is your route to becoming a qualified, confident, and genuinely capable fitness professional - not just someone who knows the theory, but someone ready to run a gym floor from day one.
What You'll Learn
You'll start with the foundations: how the body works and responds to exercise, and the training principles behind every safe, effective programme - including intensity monitoring, resistance load, and how to calculate the numbers that matter. From there, you'll build the professional groundwork every instructor needs - health and safety, risk assessment, emergency procedures, and safeguarding - followed by the people skills that keep clients coming back: building relationships, setting goals, overcoming barriers, and delivering great customer care.
With the fundamentals in place, you'll learn how to plan real sessions - from a client's first consultation and fitness testing through to full programme design, including circuit and group training. And finally, you'll bring it all together on the gym floor: how to teach a new exercise properly using our N.A.S.T.Y. coaching method, how to spot safely, and how to instruct and supervise clients with confidence - supported by a full library of filmed exercise demonstrations covering free weights, resistance machines, bodyweight training and more.
By the end, you won't just hold a Level 2 qualification - you'll have the practical, real-world skills to walk into any gym and instruct with confidence.
