About the role
A fitness instructor leads classes or gym-floor sessions and helps members exercise with sound technique. The panel is looking for clear demonstrations, sensible adaptations and strong judgement when a participant reports pain or other warning signs. They also want someone who can motivate members while staying within the instructor role.
How to prepare
- Practise explaining basic movement patterns with short, observable coaching cues.
- Prepare easier and harder options for common strength and cardio exercises.
- Review how you screen participants and respond when someone feels unwell during exercise.
- Plan a short class that works with limited space or equipment.
- Prepare an example of encouraging someone whose motivation had dropped.
Common mistakes
- Giving the same exercise and intensity to every participant.
- Prioritising a hard workout over technique and safety.
- Making medical, nutrition or body-change promises outside your competence.
- Explaining exercises at length while the class remains inactive.
