I am fit and love doing my exercise classes and doing Pilates and yoga and spin - I'm contemplating training as a Pilates instructor plus doing a general fitness class qualification. I've been looking into it for the past few months, this isn't a flash in the pan kind of thing, and it certainly wouldn't be to make money! I'm sociable, chatty and have built a great fitness community at the gym and in my yoga class.
This wouldn't be to replace the day job, which is flexible and run from home and workload goes up and down, but to run alongside and eventually ease me into semi retirement when I can give up the day job and do more of the classes. I also don't want to go the whole hog and do yoga, that doesn't feel like the right thing for me. My kids are three years off doing exams so this would be a good time for me to study - they're old enough for me to go off and do a class or study in the evenings.
My spin and Pilates instructors are both backing me and saying there's classes at the gym I could run.
Is this madness? I'm looking at the Future Fit training (CIMSPA associated) Level 3 Mat, Level 4 Mat and Master Practitioner. I'm also considering doing a Level 2 Certificate in Group Training.
Would really welcome thoughts on this.
