how to become aerobics trainer 

 Become a sports coach

The sports coach is a professional responsible for helping his clients in their physical preparation or their quest for well-being. To become a sports coach, in addition to the issue of remuneration, it is essential to consider several essential points before considering a career in the field, in particular:

The prerequisites to become a sports coach (training, diplomas, personal qualities, etc.);

The legal status of a company adapted to this type of activity (SASU, EURL, etc.);

Future prospects: opening a gym, setting up a business, becoming a self-employed or micro-entrepreneur, etc.

Accessible without a diploma, the auto-entrepreneur status has many advantages for self-employed workers. However, the creation of a micro-business, a company or an online service depends fundamentally on the objectives of the professional.

What is a sports coach?

A sports coach is a professional responsible for helping clients with their physical preparation or their quest for well-being. In particular, he can teach aerobics, fitness, weight training, or even muscle building. In addition, this educator plays the role of personal trainer, sports advisor and physical trainer at the same time.

The accredited sports coach (with a professional card) also participates in improving the state of health of the population in general. He will thus have to coach certain people, in groups or individually, by focusing on public health issues such as the fight against obesity, sedentary lifestyle, isolation, etc. However, even in this kind of situation, he must always take into account the expectations and specificities of each participant.

A role of educator

As a specialized educator, the sports coach gives lessons, individual or group, on a given discipline. These two working conditions require different approaches to the job and an adjustment of the teaching methods used.

Collective coaching is generally found in sports halls, wellness areas, companies, general public events, etc. In this context, the professional's mission is to lead courses aimed at a large audience and following a program fixed in advance. This often translates into basic choreography, upbeat music and a friendly atmosphere.

One-on-one coaching, on the other hand, requires more listening, patience and adaptability. Indeed, the coach must take into account the level and physical capacities of the student in order to be able to choose the best possible training program. He will also ensure that the learner performs all movements and exercises correctly to optimize results.

Unlike some disciplines such as swimming or climbing, the lessons given by sports coaches do not necessarily require dedicated facilities. They do, however, require a little space to perform each exercise, especially for fitness, Pilates, aerobics, etc. As a result, the coach can work in a wide variety of conditions, indoors or outdoors.

Sometimes coaches can even start classes outdoors before finishing indoors. This change of setting makes it possible, for example, to warm up and stretch in the open air before starting weight training sessions in the dedicated facilities. Ultimately, the educator will choose the methods on a case-by-case basis to improve the performance and results of his students.

A supportive role

Beyond his role as a physical educator, a personal trainer is above all a confirmed athlete accompanying other people in their quest for fitness, health and well-being. As a result, he continually strives to share his experience with his clients to better help them achieve their goals.

From the first contact, the sports coach helps his students to define a precise goal and brings his expertise as to its feasibility. Indeed, this professional is able to recognize the potential as well as the limits of each one thanks to his know-how in the field. It then applies to motivating them according to their physical condition and the objectives set upstream.

The coach generally assesses the strengths and weaknesses of each based on the execution of the movements and the course of the exercises. This will allow him to make the necessary changes as the program cycles through. During his observations, he regularly analyzes the physical form of his students and takes stock of their progress.

As a guide, the sports coach is sometimes required to direct his clients to a specific diet to improve their shape and well-being. It can, for example, accompany exercises with various nutritional advice to optimize muscle mass gains, weight loss, etc. In addition, this professional masters these subjects thanks to his training and personal experience.

However, the sports coach does not pretend to replace health and nutrition professionals in this area. Its main objective is to present the diet best suited to the program followed by the student. He may also seek the advice of doctors and nutritionists in certain cases, for example intensive programs, high-level athletes, patients in remission, etc.

Finally, delicate medical conditions require special monitoring or even formal authorization from the attending physician to avoid any risk. In this way, the coach can contribute to improving or stabilizing the patient's state of health with complete peace of mind.
