Answers: I have no experience in this field, but I have always had an interest in health and fitness. I would like to teach aerobics or spinning classes. How do I go about this?

Step 1:
Get experience with different forms of aerobic exercise, including step aerobics, high and low impact aerobics, kickboxing, water aerobics and sports conditioning.

Step 2:
Enroll in a CPR and first aid training class. Most certifications require these skills.

Step 3:
Take classes or read books on anatomy, exercise physiology, kinesiology and motivational techniques. A basic understanding of fitness-related topics is recommended before pursuing a certification.

Step 4:
Seek certification by a nationally recognized organization such as the American Council on Exercise (ACE), the Aerobics and Fitness Association of America (AFAA) or the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM).

Step 5:
Practice cueing, or giving verbal instructions. Many certifying organizations offer classes on how to design and teach fitness classes, which include the techniques of cueing.

Step 6:
Seek opportunities to gain teaching experience. Organize a class of friends or family members to instruct.

Step 7:
Team-teach with another instructor. Start by teaching a small portion of the class and gradually increasing the amount of class time you teach.

Step 8:
Choose music that is professionally mastered for smooth transitions and even counts.

Step 9:
Check out teaching opportunities at local gyms, corporate health clubs, recreational clubs and hospitals.



Teaching aerobics or group fitness classes can be a wonderful way to earn extra income, meet new people, and get a workout - all at the same time. Through a combined knowledge of exercise guidelines, safety and cueing, you can create a rewarding opportunity that enhances your health and the health of others.
