It’s recommended that children over 5 years exercise for at least an hour a day, every day. This includes all types of activity so walking, running, break-time, structured games lessons, active clubs and so on – they all count.
Ok that’s the recommendation, what’s the reality?
Our kids are becoming increasingly inactive and most struggle to get anywhere near an hour a day of activity. This lack of exercise is a ticking time bomb for health issues in later life and many parents are desperate to turn the tide.
To help combat their kid’s sedentary lifestyles, which are incidentally often a side effect of their own, more and more parents are seeking the expertise of qualified Kids Fitness Instructors to get their kids active.
These structured, fun and carefully designed sessions tear kids away from their favourite hi-tech gadgets and games engaging them in a range of fitness activities that are fun, challenging and tailored to their fitness level.
What’s the trick?
Kids Fitness Instructors are highly trained. They’re first-class coaches and motivators, typically working with 5 to 16 year olds, and have a real passion to make a positive difference on their lifestyle.
Kids let off steam, burn up some energy, build muscle and bone strength and most importantly have so much fun they want to go back for more.
Parents know their kids are in expert hands, a safe environment and are getting that bit healthier every time they attend.
Once qualified Kid’s Fitness Instructors can develop their careers in many ways inside a gym setting or working for themselves or within a franchise.
Popular activities include:
- Kid’s Clubs
- Sports Camps
- Fitness Classes
- Personal Training
- Sports Specific Clubs
The opportunities are endless and appeal to both Fitness Instructors and Personal Trainers who are looking to expand their services and engage young people in sport.

By the end of your course you’ll be running your very own kids sessions under our expert guidance ensuring you’re fully equipped to work with a wide variety of young people.
