The fitness instructor and confusing legislation

 

"There is no perfect program, there is no perfect exercise, there are only the client and the professional who follows him" (Busin et al., 2004). And 'This is the outcome of the International Sports Sciences Association of Philosophy, better known as ISSA, a leading association in the formation of Personal Fitness Trainers. Philosophy that focuses attention on two well-defined entities, the client and the "professional", but who is this professional? Who is the fitness instructor in general and what is its role in the environment where it acts?
There is an endless literature on the customer, like him loyal, how to communicate with him, what to say, what to do, and the instructor as it is, what does it do? How motivated is as pleased with his work, why does this work, what drives him, is the instructor for gratification, a passion for educating others, to feel 'someone' or 'appear' someone?
The world of fitness in Italy is constantly evolving and has grown in recent years, perhaps, a bit 'too fast, creating the inevitable confusion that characterizes the activities that do not yet have a clear professional identity, typical of everything that grows quickly without legislation will protect both the user and the professional in terms of health and the safety (Adams, P., 2002/06).
Only in the early 90s takes shape 'fitness', thanks to the collaboration between history, sports doctors, nutritionists and psychologists who are placed in numerous federations and associations, mostly autonomous, whose main purpose 'should' be training of trainers (FIAeF, 2002). In the past the activities practiced were mostly sports uncoded taught by unqualified instructors who faces more than the appearance of being, with a typically narcissistic attitude.
The term narcissism is derived from Narcissus, the young man who according to Greek mythology fell in love with his reflection in a spring. In its normal form, narcissism is the love we feel for ourselves, our person (Sica, 2001). All good, until it borders on the pathological and becomes an anomaly in which the subject manifests an excess of admiration towards himself (Sica, 2001). The narcissist shows a strong conviction of its importance and to be 'unique', unique, supreme, perfect. The subject always exaggerates his achievements, the results obtained, their skills and points out just how special his problems; has the merit of his success, luck has nothing to do. It is still fairly easy to get into any gym and see the instructor and some customer-pose and "pose 'in front of the mirror, contemplating his own physicality. At this point one wonders how an instructor too full of himself to meet the needs of a typical customer, who often feels the need to be understood, together, listened to before being 'trained'.
Up until very recently in Physical Education, teacher training institutes deputies physical education, fitness was not covered except in an experimental and outside programs. Only a few years, as part of university courses in Science, are introduced and organized courses, masters and 'amnesty' to remedy at least in part to the great confusion that reigns in fitness centers in Italy.
The occupation of fitness instructor has suffered in recent years a series of transformations is related to the evolution of the various related activities, both to the many scientific advances that have occurred in the disciplines which study the human system in the learning situation, such as psychology and pedagogy.
Until a few years ago the role of the instructor was assigned to a person who had practiced as a sport to a level acceptable and which declared itself ready to teach the fundamental movements that characterize this or that discipline (Buck, 1996). Currently, the teacher should be concerned to study the process of teaching and behavior of its parts, in a scientific and systematic, in order to identify factors that facilitate and remove those that hinder. The trainer is not simply asked to convey his knowledge and skills, but also to educate, organize, collaborate and, above all, motivate choosing the moment to moment what is best for the client or client group (Deer, FIN, 1996) .
In order to successfully undertake this role are objectively necessary to the special qualities of availability, flexibility and understanding is not separated by a highly motivated continuous updating in order to improve their level of skill and knowledge (Buck, 1996).
Teaching means "being in continuous relationship with other people and systematic" (Bonifazi M. et al., 1996) and therefore relate to a set of situations that change in directions that are not always the instructor is able to guide or control, regardless of the his good intentions, even the best practitioner is to carry out its activities in personal psychological situations are not ideal and in any case must carry out his work. And 'perhaps in these critical situations that reveals the deep personality of the instructor than the ability to perform their jobs well. The true professional sees, feels and perceives its role, or that set of values, attitudes, opinions, behaviors that constitute the prototype of good professional, what is certain is that one can not but be aware of their own philosophy of teaching , it is simple and straightforward or very complex and, or, why not copied from some teacher success.
It is believed that the first skill required of a fitness instructor-and-not only is that of having practiced for a certain period of time, to an acceptable level, that specific discipline. "Period of time 'we' accept 'the 36 months that are required for example to an instructor to attend a refresher course, college (cf. Decr. Rett. Univ Genoa, n. 2736 of 25.05.2006) , the statement "acceptable level" is unfortunately difficult to codify and not just have to stick to common sense and the ability to self-criticism of the instructor himself. It is considered necessary to have experienced first hand the various stages of the learning process, from initial to final, in order to better convey the necessary technical steps to overcome the most difficult and complicated, and understand the feelings that are trying our customer when he is performing a certain exercise or a specific type of training.

How to become a spinning instructor

One of the disciplines currently in vogue in the gyms is the Italian Spinning, particularly needed to strengthen the lower body and is essential in a complete workout. Be Spinning, however, contrary to what some might think, not just hop on a bike and pedal sets at random, but follow the rhythms and the programs that only a professional instructor can impart.

Hence the need of the owners of fitness centers to hire qualified personnel, ie, in possession of the requisites to teach the "proper riding" in order to obtain the desired results. It 's clear that a Spinning instructor should be able to recommend the right training to their athletes, tailoring the type of training depending on the form and the physical strength of each.



To become a Spinning instructor must be a lot of patience and good will, and of course the frequency of specific courses. In this time of year several training centers are organizing special courses for instructors of Spinning, after which it is issued a certificate of attendance can seek employment at any fitness center in Italy.

In particular we want to report Keiser Indoor Cycling, which in November organizes various training courses. And if you are already certified teachers Spinning Indoor Cycling Level 1, you can take the course instructor training course IC-REV Indoor Cycling Keiser M3 Level 1 Route B.

The event is organized by the Keiser Italy, specialized in the Spinning and promoter of several similar initiatives around the world. The appointment is for next November 21 in that of Bologna, where he will welcome an exceptional teacher like Alex Corsini.

Take the opportunity and ask freely for information to the phone number 051461110 or send a fax to 051463090. Remember that the practice of spinning is growing and maybe it's time to take advantage of opportunities to get some more work.

HOW TO BECOME A CERTIFIED fitness INSTRUCTOR CST / TACFIT

 

One of the questions I am asked most often by email, social networks and even in person is "How to become a certified fitness  instructor CST / TACFIT?"

Allow me in this context to write a short handbook with practical advice.

First of all it clearly distinguish the two certifications:

CST: The "Circular Strength Training" is the basis for everything. And 'the most comprehensive training system in the world. Many will try to contradict me, but how else the system will find a program of joint mobility, physical conditioning and free body with the use of unconventional tools such as Clubbells, and a clearing system called Prasara Yoga?
Economic choices for many people and time, choose to certify only TACFIT, in my opinion very serious error. I'm not dwell on, but I put a question to those who are thinking of doing this in Tacfit Alpha, the first of 26, are provided Clubbell Swipes, how are you going to deal with them if Clubbells have learned to use them by self-taught?

TACFIT: And 'the Tactical Fitness training system. Fast, fun and above all effective. It will be the basis for working with your customers. And 'the training system designed by Scott Sonnon for those tactical tasks: policemen, firemen, soldiers, special units. It 'was recently officially adopted by the Special Intervention Group (GIS) of the Carabinieri. So not one of the many trendy workouts (makes cool to say "the training of the marines'), but really the training of special forces.

Every year, around the world there are certification courses CST / TACFIT. Only this year will be held in Italy, USA, England, South Africa, Argentina, Singapore and Japan. They are always held by the leading exponents of the system: Scott Sonnon and Alberto Gallazzi.

But what is the best way to approach the system?

There are four, we will examine one by one:

1) CST-School: an investment with a modest, entirely discountable by the cost of certification. Alberto Gallazzi with the Italian team will hold seminars on all single-topic specials CST / TACFIT in some Italian cities. This year will be held in Milan, Rome and Florence. All the details on the official website cst-italy. Surely it is one of the surest ways to achieve the certification date prepared.

2) CST / TACFIT Coach: It 'is another possibility, namely that of "hiring" a coach who will guide us through the first difficulties with the system approach. The advantage here is that it is followed individually, and the results are satisfactory in most cases, translated: certifications on the first try and with enjoyment. Personally I have already prepared a dozen athletes, even in less time, always having great satisfaction from them. The cost is similar to the School, but is not discountable. The advantage is to be followed one-to-one and not having to go too far from home.

3) instructional videos: Paying a percentage of the enrollment certification, you will receive instructional videos on the exams in order to learn from self-taught. I do not recommend it highly. Unfortunately, even if the videos are very accurate and well made, you can not grasp all the nuances that are critical to success instead. Anyway to get more precise infos about this mode you can contact the boss of cst-italy to this mail.

4) A Job: I call it this way, among other things, adopted a little 'too often, hoping that will soon be included. These training following youtube video, hoping that nothing has changed and going to the correct certificate having details "last minute". Obviously if you have this intention would ask you to change it immediately. There is nothing you will enjoy for the certification, by itself chock-full of notions, and probably will emerge with little more because we may not have understood anything because of fatigue!


Ah, I forgot, certifications CST / TACFIT regaleranno not go into them just because you paid, you need to sweat on the field! I myself, though a friend of Scott and Albert have been rejected on an exam because I was not sufficiently prepared, add correctly!

That said, I'm available for any clarification and possible preparations, hoping to see you soon become part of CST Famil
