Thanks for your interest in becoming a Geri-Fit® or Body Sculpting instructor. We're always looking for qualified and caring individuals to teach our award-winning strength training exercise programs.  We offer two types of exercise classes: Geri-Fit® (for older adults), and Body Sculpting (for the general public). Both of these exercise programs use dumbbells weights for toning muscles and building bone density... two key ingredients that help prevent osteoporosis!
If you are an energetic, team-minded person that is passionate about health and wellness, and you enjoy teaching and helping others meet their health and fitness goals, then this job is for you!
As a Geri-Fit® team member, you must have a clear, working knowledge of teaching safe and effective strength training exercise classes, and you must know when to institute exercise modifications. Safety is of paramount importance because you'll be teaching exercise classes to people in their 20's and possibly even up to 98-years-of-age!
Our Body Sculpting weight training exercise program accommodate all ages, all fitness levels, and all body types. Participants are encouraged to work out at their own pace.
To become a Geri-Fit® or Body Sculpting instructor, you must already be certified by a nationally-recognized fitness organization such as the IWA (International Weightlifting Association), NSCA (National Sports and Conditioning Association), IWF, ACE, ISSA, NASM, AFAA, IDEA, and others. We also accept candidates with degrees in exercise physiology, kinesiology, physical therapy, nursing or other medical professions.
You will go through extensive Geri-Fit® and Body Sculpting raining before you become certified which will then allow you to teach Geri-Fit® or Body Sculpting classes. This entails watching a few strength training dvds, reading the instructor manual, learning weight training exercises that help to prevent osteoporosis, attending a one-day exercise instructor workshop, and passing a written and practical exam.
Geri-Fit® and Body Sculpting exercise classes are held at senior centers, retirement centers, assisted living centers, nursing homes, recreation complexes, community centers, hospitals, dance studios and other places where seniors and the general public meet. Trainers teach anywhere from one to ten hours a week, and this is based on their schedule and availability. We offer competitive pay based on experience and credentials.

Candidates are chosen based on their commitment to exercise, their positive attitude, their ability to motivate people, and their desire to help others achieve their goals. You're never too old for this job (our oldest instructor is 84). So, contact us today and find out how you can teach for us and help others live long and be strong. |
