What is the difference between a group exercise instructor and a personal trainer?
Group exercise instructors and personal trainers both learn basic fitness principles, physiology, and anatomy, biomechanics, and exercise technique. However, group exercise instructors are taught such subjects as music selection, tempo, choreography, and cueing in order to lead a safe and effective group of individuals as opposed to personal attention. Personal trainers are taught more detailed topics on tailored exercise program design and one-on-one teaching techniques.
