TAFE NSW Newcastle will play a critical role in training the next generation of local fitness instructors as the Hunter emerges from its COVID-19 hangover, according to the nation’s peak health and exercise industry association.

 

The reopening of the local fitness industry is triggering a surge in demand for fitness instructors and personal trainers

to help motivate and train locals to achieve their fitness goals.


“There were a lot of people that left the industry over the past two years but when I speak to our members, they tell me the last three months have broken all records when it comes to new gym memberships,” said the CEO of the Australian fitness industry’s peak body AUSactive, Barry Elvish.


“Demand for fitness instructors is growing rapidly, and as a result gyms are struggling to get qualified staff. We see TAFE NSW as an important part in getting quality graduates coming through.”


TAFE NSW Newcastle Head Teacher of Fitness Karyn Gardner said TAFE NSW offered students the practical skills, work experience and industry connections to make a running start to their career. The Certificate III in Fitness (Gym Instructor) is a six-month course, including units in planning group exercise sessions, developing gym-based exercise programs for individual clients, and providing healthy eating information.
