To Fitness Coordinator Jill Garrigan, Penn State fitness instructors have to be safe, effective and entertaining.

These instructors are not your typical 20-year-olds, Garrigan said.

She said they are committed and dedicated to the program. Garrigan said if she asked the instructors to physically move the building over for her, they would find a way to do it.

I am pushed every day by them, and they push each other, Garrigan said.

Two semesters are required to finish the Instructor Training Program, KINES 093, and the Junior Instructor Program, KINES 096, is also required to be considered an instructor. Each course fulfills 1.5 credits in kinesiology.

Garrigan said the programs focus on gaining experience in leadership, learning and public speaking.

The course does have exams as well as demonstrations in learning how to teach fitness classes.

It is a time-consuming 1.5 credits, Garrigan said. It is not intended to weed anyone out, but it is intended to teach skills.

She said you could earn a good grade in the class but still not be accepted as a fitness instructor.
