Group Fitness Instructor (GFI)

AFAA’s Group Fitness Instructor certification is built on the foundation of AFAA’s reputation of more than 30 years as a leader and innovator of group-based fitness. Taking the theory from the exercise library to bring it where it is needed most—the fitness centre, the home gym, the street—this new text takes the group fitness industry’s successes of the past and realigns them with modern scientific research to effectively help a new instructor navigate a career in fitness.

Not only will AFAA’s new course provide for all of the necessary entry-level skills to become an in-demand instructor, it will inform you about format-specific classes and help you navigate various career paths within the fitness industry. The course provides a real-life application to specific exercise formats, examples of cueing, communication, and instruction, and comprehensive exercise technique videos.
