Interested in becoming a Les Mills Instructor?
Les Mills courses are in high demand and the popularity in Australia continues to grow.
Becoming a group fitness instructor could not be easier, with high quality training at Les Mills and the Australian Fitness Academy.
Many of our Corporate Partners (such as Goodlife Health Clubs and Fitness First) require all new staff to have a Certificate III in Fitness as a bare minimum to take Group Fitness Classes, with many requiring both the Certificate III & IV in Fitness.
At AFA we can help you with gaining the Certificate III & IV in Fitness, and by completing the relevant workshops you will become a Les Mills Instructor as well as a Gym Instructor and Personal Trainer.
You can complete the individual training in an area of your choice by completing a two day Initial Module Training. See below for the full course details.
