Group Fitness Instructor

Category - Exercise Selection

Group Fitness Instructors (GFIs) need to provide feedback in a group format, without the feedback feeling invasive or overtly personal to class members. Which of the following is UNLIKELY to be a component part of proper feedback as described by Wlodkowski (1998).
  1. Point out something positive the class member is doing
  2. Provide a necessary correction
  3. Provide feedback after the correction is implemented
  4. Direct the group to emulate the newly corrected activity as performed by the class member
Explanation
Answer: D - Proper cueing and feedback are a skill that separates the novice instructor from the instructor. Group fitness instructors who follow Wlodkowski’s progress of feedback typically point out something positive first, then provide a necessary correction, referred to as the performance standard, then provide positive reinforcement of any proper correction performed by the class member. It would almost never be proper to direct the group’s attention away from the trained instructor and onto a class member’s performance.
