To help you become an effective group training instructor we’ll equip you with a wide range of skills for planning, demonstrating, and delivering different exercise regimes for groups. During your extensive one-day workshop you’ll cover the following topics:
The Benefits of Group Training
As a workshop group you’ll discuss the benefits group training can have on instructors, class members and businesses. You’ll also cover what actually constitutes group training and what doesn’t.
Periodisation and the Phases of Training
Here we’ll cover the three phases of group training and how the power pyramid relates to each phase. You’ll also learn the different concepts and types of periodisation to pace these sessions appropriately.
The 16 Session Periodised Plan
This part of the workshop will cover the 16 session periodised plan designed to span four weeks of progressive training. You’ll also identify and include where combinations of exercises can fit into this plan.
Combinations and Fitness Tests
This practical module will teach you different combinations and tests including cardio vs clock, mini triathlons, and more. We’ll also explain the reasoning behind different choices and their effectiveness as part of the 16 session plan from the previous module.
Our CPD Group Fitness Instructor course is taught in a workshop format over the course of a day of intense training.
Completing OriGym’s Group Exercise Instructor CPD will give you all of the essential skills needed to enhance your fitness classes and generic group training around a particular exercise or combination.
To offer group personal training and train people towards similar goals with bespoke fitness regimes, you can complete a Level 3 Personal Trainer course. This will allow you to work with groups of individuals and design exercise plans towards their specific goals.
You can also get this Group Fitness Instructor CPD course, along with 5 others, for free in a package with our Diploma in Personal Training. This will allow you to combine all the best parts of teaching classes and groups with a higher salary and more specific training.
Our Group Exercise Instructor CPD course ends with a 45 minute long assessment where you’ll be observed demonstrating your knowledge, practical planning, and delivering of a group training session. This will include a combination and a 16 session personalised plan.
On the day of attendance, a 45-minute long observational assessment will take place where students will be tasked with demonstrating their new group training skills and knowledge.
The assessment will be overseen by a qualified teacher and assessor who will lead your training.
Aside from being aged 16 years or older, students must hold a Level 2 Fitness Instructor qualification to enrol on this course.
Just like all our courses here at OriGym, the Group Training CPD is accredited by the Chartered Institute for the Management of Sport and Physical Activity (CIMSPA).

Founder of Heather Hacking PTFantastically Structured & Well Organised
As a mother of three children after spending the past nine years building her career as a solicitor, Heather made the decision to follow a life-long passion for health, wellness and fitness, and pursue a career as a personal trainer.
Studying part-time with OriGym to fit around family and work, I achieved my Level 2 Gym Instructor and Level 3 Personal Training qualifications. I found OriGym’s courses to be fantastically structured and well organised, and my tutor Andy Tsang was brilliant - he taught me so much!
After graduating I started my fitness business with the sole purpose of empowering women, both physically and mentally. My business has now been shortlisted as a finalist in the ‘Breakthrough Personal Trainer’ category at Northern Ireland’s Health & Fitness Awards 2019 - I am so thrilled! I am very grateful to OriGym for giving me such a great foundation to launch my business from.
