Most people that go to the gym know that most gym have group fitness classes like pilates, cardio kickboxing, step aerobics, yoga, etc. In order to teach these group fitness classes does one have to pass some sort of exam or certification? And are you certified to teach all the classes or just one type like step aerobics?

Organizations like ACSM offer certifications in many different areas. Some are specific and others more general. I have an ACSM Health and Fitness Instructor certification. Yes, I did have to pass a very lengthy exam and practical to obtain this certification. ACSM in nationally recognized and can get beginners into a fitness club. Some gyms offer specific classes for getting certified. The YMCA that I attend offers aerobic class trainer certifications twice a year, along with others like Pilate’s, water aerobics, etc. I also have a B.S. in Exercise Science. This four year degree allowed me to learn and practice many of the important strategies, techniques and knowledge that is required to be a great personal trainer.
