It can be hard to stay motivated when you're trying to get ripped, which is why it's important to switch up your workout routine to keep things interesting. One thing that many people try out is group fitness classes, where both an instructor and your fellow exercise buffs can help you stay on track. Recently, as these classes gain in popularity, the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) released some guidelines for fitness instructors to ensure that the individuals who take their classes are getting what they pay for.
"Group exercise instructors see more people in one hour than any other fitness professional," said ACSM researcher Grace DeSimone. "Whether instructors are teaching boot camp classes or leading a walking club, it’s important that they are trusted and knowledgeable resources for their clients."
The point of the guidelines is to ensure that all fitness instructors have the most relevant information regarding the exercise they teach, including safety measures. It also recommended a screening tool that these individuals can use when they start a new class to determine where each class participant is on their exercise journey to understand the needs each student may have.
