go4it Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 contact the YMCA through their website, they have courses around the country. costs around £280. Normally takes place over 3 weekends. It's the industry leader. Lets hope you're better than some of the fitness instructors I have come across in Sheffield. When I asked one what was the best way to lose weight, they told me not to eat carbs after 5pm! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like when my mate asked me about gaining weight - I suggested the pie and Stella diet Not the sort of weight gain he had in mind methinks.

GimmeSomePK Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Just saw an ad for fitness instructor type job in a gym in Leeds yesterday, required NVQ level 2 so don't know if that's something you could work towards as well as YMCA? I've got a GCSE, an A-level and a degree in PE/Sports Science type subjects..... just haven't got that NVQ or YMCA certificate so no job in a gym for me now. -PK- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
go4it Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 the YMCA course is a level 2 qualification, most gyms ask for that. I once looked at getting a job in a gym as I have loads of NGB sports awards and a BSc in sports science. One gym told me that they would recruit someone who had spent 3 weekends on the YMCA Level 2 course over myself with a BSc but no YMCA. Ironically it was the same gym who told me the best way to lose weight was to not eat carbs after 5pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I asked one what was the best way to lose weight, they told me not to eat carbs after 5pm! Just thought I'd add that this does help because complex carbs burn slowly, so if you eat alot in the evenings they won't be ready to be burnt off until you're asleep, so they have no choice but to be stored as fat.

kezza Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 If you are studying at Hallam I think you can do some fitness qualifications via Sport Hallam - you could get in touch with them as they might do it at reduced rates?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
