If camouflage fatigues aren't an instructor's style, then it shouldn't be forced on them. The personality of the class needs to fit the personality of the instructor. Contrary to the perception, boot camp instructors aren't all overbearing drill sergeants (although some are). The key to a great boot camp program is that the students never see the same thing twice, and the instructor is able to challenge the fittest members without excluding beginners. Instructors also need the ability to devise and implement an ever-changing and evolving routine to avoid the pitfall of becoming stale. Leading, demonstrating, supervising and correcting students while thinking ahead to the next exercise aren't new practices to a seasoned instructor, but the irregular pace and high intensity of a boot camp class require the instructor to sometimes be even more capable of multi-tasking than with a more traditional class, where all of the students are generally doing the same thing at once. The instructor will also need to demonstrate proper technique and be tireless in their leadership, while simultaneously safely supervising a sometimes high-impact class. Simply taking a group strength class and calling it boot camp won't do. Since boot camp participants are looking for something different, the instructor needs to have the ability to make it so. The instructor also needs to have a great personality and the ability to motivate students.
Proper certification and experience ensures that the instructor has demonstrated the knowledge necessary to safely and effectively organize, present and supervise group exercise. The instructor chosen to lead a boot camp class needs to possess a group exercise certification through a credible organization, as well as have practical experience leading group exercise. However you decide to implement a boot camp class, it can quickly become one of your most popular offerings, and develop almost a cult following of devoted fitness masochists.Īs with any group exercise class, success or failure begins with the instructor. Boot camp classes are again on the rise in popularity, and many fitness centers offer these programs as either a part of their revenue-generating line-up, or as a benefit of membership.
