10 Benefits of Teaching Chair-Based Classes

As a training provider, I think long and hard about the qualifications and courses we offer and how they will benefit Group Fitness Teachers in a changing fitness environment.
Becoming qualified to teach specialist classes is always advantageous, as there are fewer instructors doing this, and we have a much wider population to pull from who need specialist classes.

Becoming educated in how to plan and teach safe and effective chair-based classes for the elderly, frail, or those with disabilities is a huge opportunity for Group Fitness Teachers. Teaching in private care homes, assisted living accommodations, charity projects, and funded community projects are all looking for well-qualified teachers to offer these classes, which is why we are offering the Level 2 Chair-based course.

For instructors, teaching these classes offers many benefits. They are gentle to teach, the environments are homely, the clients are loyal and continue to attend throughout the year, and the rate of pay is much higher than teaching in a club or centre We are seeing some care homes paying £80 per session for qualified teachers, which is significantly more.

Here are the 10 Benefits of Teaching Chair-Based Classes:

1. You can teach in care homes/residential settings.
2. You can offer your services to community and funded projects.
3. You can offer your services to local community projects.
4. The pay is much better than in a club or centre
5. It is very fulfilling and rewarding.
6. Class members are loyal.
7. Classes are well attended all year round.

10. Few instructors have this qualification.
