For me, obtaining an Exercise to Music (ETM) qualification stands as one of the best investments I’ve made. Yes, it was £500 for the course 28 years ago.
Exploring the ETM Path
Gaining an ETM qualification opens doors to various opportunities within the fitness industry. Upon completion, you can teach a range of classes, including hi-lo aerobics, body conditioning, LBT, and interval training. The versatility of an ETM qualification is unparalleled, allowing you to adapt to different class formats and cater to diverse fitness levels.
Starting Your ETM Journey
Once you finish the course, which is both enjoyable and confidence-boosting, you’ll find yourself gathering classes in different settings. Whether it’s at high-end chain health clubs, boutique clubs, or even setting up your own classes in a hired hall, the possibilities are vast. In no time, you’ll discover your preferred path in this diverse field. The journey of an ETM instructor is not just about teaching; it’s about building communities and fostering positive relationships with participants.
A Rewarding Career in Fitness
In my 28 years as a fitness instructor, I’ve collected various certificates but still find joy in teaching all my classes. The job exposes you to a multitude of diverse and interesting people, making each day unique. The satisfaction derived from helping others achieve their fitness goals is immeasurable. As an exercise to music instructor, you have the privilege of witnessing the transformational journey of your participants, both physically and mentally.
Fostering Connections
Over the years, I’ve made numerous friends and even met my future husband through this journey! The fitness community is incredibly supportive, and the bonds formed in class often extend beyond the gym walls. Being part of such a vibrant and dynamic community is one of the most rewarding aspects of being an ETM instructor.
Encouragement and Recommendation
Despite the physical demands, I recommend this path wholeheartedly. It’s not just about the body; it’s also about the mind. The sense of accomplishment and fulfillment you experience as an ETM instructor is unparalleled. Each class is an opportunity to inspire and empower others to lead healthier, happier lives.
I look forward to welcoming you into the quirky world of fitness and helping you thrive on your journey.
Warm regards,
