What employers look forFrom the Fitness Instructor guide
Captains and spa managers hire people with real land experience: two or more years in a gym, studio or hotel, and a recognised qualification. A second discipline helps a lot. Yoga, Pilates, massage or a dive ticket makes you more useful and easier to place. Calm manners matter as much as the coaching. You will be training very private people in a small space, and discretion is not optional.
