Hi hun,

I don't know what position you've applied for but in the UK the gym instructors (i.e. the people who teach classes, take people through assessments and are in the gym to help people use machines etc.) have to have a gym instructors qualification. My DP did this last year, it was 6 weekends and they learned about the anatomy, techniques, safety and coordination of workouts (i.e. how to put together a full-body or an abs or a fat loss or a tone up programme for someone) and afterwards they are able to go on and do specifics (he did a spin-teaching course). I don't know if there is an equivalent in Aus but you might want to check. I know for instance Les Mills Body class instructors anywhere in the world are regualted by Les Mills and all have to be lisenced.

HTH
