Become a People Expert
Knowing how to perform resistance exercise with perfect form is certainly a skill you’ll need as a gym instructor. Here at Jump we want to help develop instructors that are much more than that. We want out instructors to be “people experts” as well as “exercise experts”. Once your clients have taken the first step how will you encourage them adhere to exercise in the long term? On our course we’ll make you more than an exercise expert so your clients get the results they deserve.
