The short answer is, yes:-
Lets think about it this way. As a Personal Trainer who yourself trains at a gym, from time to time you may need a massage to sort out those aching muscles. Would you go to a masseuse who:-
(A) Isn't qualified – perhaps they know the basics but not the fundamental and detailed practices on how to perform a massage!!
(B) Is fully qualified – has taken the relevant courses and has detailed knowledge and experience of how to perform a proper massage, thereby giving you confidence in their abilities.
In any profession, using the services of someone who is qualified gives you more assurance and confidence in that persons abilities to perform their job to a high standard.
If you’re helping a friend or family member get in shape, you won’t need any qualifications - however, anyone who offers professional services or wants to gain employment in the fitness industry must have relevant qualifications.
The Level 2 Gym Instructor certificate is an entry-level course that gives you access to gyms and health centres. A personal trainer qualification lets you work in a variety of environments.
Being able to show a client that you have the relevant qualifications e.g, the entry-level Level 2 Gym Instructor certificate is a definite way to give your client more confidence in you as a Fitness Trainer and will assist you in obtaining more clients in the future.
