Group Fitness Instructor

Category - Certifications

Group Fitness Instructors work on a day-to-day basis with apparently healthy clients. As such, their work should be limited by their education, training, and state laws. A term used to define the roles of different players in the health and fitness continuum is:
  1. Scope of practice
  2. Certification
  3. Continuum of care
  4. Competency
Explanation
Answer: A - Group Fitness Instructors (GFI) must work within their scope of practice, a term that takes into account legal statutes, certification parameters and education. Because the GFI is not licensed to practice health care, it is essential that he or she does not exceed the parameters of fitness instruction. However, there is a wide variation in competence among “instructors”, an issue often addressed through certifications like those offered by the American Council on Exercise (ACE).
