More About Your Role
We have an exciting new opportunity for a Fitness Instructor at Places Leisure, where you will be working in a fun, lively environment with likeminded people. You will help to inspire others to work together and deliver their very best. With your previous experience in the fitness industry, you will be enthusiastic and enjoy talking with people while motivating others and providing suitable health and fitness advice that matches each customer's individual aspirations and goals.
All our Fitness Instructors should hold a minimum of CIMSPA Affiliate/Reps Level 2, and it would be ideal if you hold CIMSPA Practitioner/Reps Level 3. However, if you are a motivated and driven individual, we would be happy to support you in achieving this qualification through our continual learning and development opportunities.
There are many opportunities within Places Leisure. Your career with us as a Fitness Instructor is a great first step to many different routes. You can develop your career by providing outstanding Personal Training sessions and growing your client base. If management is a route you want to take, you can work up to be a Fitness Manager. In the Fitness Instructor role, we offer ongoing training and development opportunities, including support with your CIMSPA Practitioner/Reps Level 3 qualification, enhancing your customer service skills and more.
