Investigation on the qualifications of more than 20 fitness instructors with various qualifications?

Original title: There are more than 20 kinds of fitness instructor qualification certificates, and you can get the certificate without trying for several hundred yuan. Industry insiders call for the establishment of professional standards.

On an App, a coach got as many as 9 kinds of fitness instructor qualification certificates.

"If you don't lose weight in March, you will be sad all year round." In March, many people began to exercise. In the choice of fitness coaches, many people frankly "look at the appearance", but it is not known whether the coach has passed the exam and obtained the certificate. The education teachers of Beijing Youth Daily visited many chain gymnasiums and fitness studios in this city, and found that the qualification certificates of fitness instructors were varied. As a professional engaged in activities closely related to health, is there a uniform threshold requirement for fitness instructors? How do the "advanced" coaches declared by the gym evaluate it? In this regard, the education teacher of Beiqing Daily launched an investigation.

phenomenon

The number of gyms has soared, and there are not a few "rotten" medical treatments.

The education teacher of Beiqing Daily recently visited gymnasiums in Asian Games Village, Huilongguan, Shuangjing and Qingnian Road. Usually, as soon as he leaves the subway, someone warmly greets him with a leaflet: "Learn to swim and keep fit." With Chaoyang Joy City in Qingnian Road as the coordinate, you can find the nearby gyms through an App, and there are 38 gyms within one kilometer of Fiona Fang. Within one kilometer near Shuangjing, as many as 90 gyms were found. At present, there are mainly two kinds of gymnasiums on the market, one is a chain organization, and the other is a "home gym" in an apartment. The external name is mostly "fitness studio".

On the one hand, the number of gymnasiums has surged, and there is a huge demand for fitness instructors. On the other hand, there are not a few fitness patients who go to the hospital for medical treatment. Shao Zhenxing, a doctor of sports medicine in the Third Hospital of Beijing Medical University, told the education teacher of Beiqing Daily that many patients were injured due to improper fitness. "For example, people who use equipment to exercise will cause shoulder joint injury, patellar articular cartilage injury and long head tendon injury of biceps brachii." There are many reasons for sports injuries, besides improper self-control, it is also related to the existence of professional coaches and the level of coaches. (Education teacher Peng)

survey

There are more than 20 kinds of fitness instructor certificates.

Last weekend, the education teacher of Beiqing Daily came to a gym near the subway station, where many people sweated profusely. On one wall, the introduction of on-the-job coaches is posted. There are many names of various qualification certificates in the introduction, such as "National Fitness Coach Professional Qualification Certificate" and "Asian Senior Personal Trainer Qualification Certificate".

On an App, many gyms will also show their fitness instructor certificates. The education teachers of Beiqing Daily visited more than ten gymnasiums and saw 2 1 different fitness instructor qualification certificates, various names and titles, such as China Fitness Independent Instructor Certificate, Social Sports Instructor Certificate (Fitness Instructor), Senior Personal Fitness Instructor Certificate, Personal Fitness Instructor Professional Skills Training Certificate, Noah Shoulder and Neck Function Training Certificate, SSC Sports Science Course Certificate, China Bodybuilding Association Professional Fitness Instructor Certificate, and All-round Personal Trainer Expert Certificate.

According to the signatures of the certificates, it is not difficult to find that there are three main sources of these certificates: the General Administration of Sports or the People's Insurance Bureau, fitness associations and training companies. In the contents of the certificate, although the most conspicuous words are "senior fitness instructor" and "coach title", it is not difficult to find that the largest number is the certificate of completion of training, which proves that "I trained somewhere and now graduated".

In the interview, the education teacher of Beiqing Daily also found that no matter what kind of gym, there is no clear and unified entry threshold or qualification requirements for coaches. Some need to check the professional qualification certificates and experience of graduate colleges and coaches, and well-known gyms need internal assessment. The recruitment threshold of "home gym" is relatively low. The head of a fitness studio in an apartment near Joy City used to be a fitness enthusiast. According to him, when he recruits, he mainly looks at whether he has a fitness foundation. If the coach does not have a qualification certificate, he will organize a training exam after joining the job.

You can get an online sales certificate without trial for 7 days.

The educational administration teacher of Beiqing Daily contacted a company named "Talent Honor Information Management Center" in the certificate issuing agency of the aforementioned 2 1 fitness instructor qualification certificate. The other party said that they are only responsible for the certificate and input the certificate information into the online system. Whether it is a senior coach, an intermediate coach or a junior coach, you only need to pay according to the corresponding level and submit information such as your name. "We don't rate grades, but customize them according to customers' needs", and the prices of different grades are different, such as primary certificate 480 yuan, intermediate certificate 680 yuan and advanced certificate 860 yuan. In addition, 20 yuan's information maintenance fee needs to be paid every year.

Official website's introduction said "approved by the competent department", but the staff were vague about which competent department approved it, and repeatedly stressed that they were an information platform.

The education teacher of Beiqing Daily searched for "fitness instructor certificate" on an e-commerce platform, and found that there were more than 200 businesses that applied for instructor certificate and yoga certificate. The educational administration teacher of Beiqing Daily contacted two of them and asked to see the certificate samples, but the certificate samples sent by the other party were exactly the same as some of the certificates displayed in the gymnasiums that the educational administration teacher of Beiqing Daily had been to, such as "Social Fitness Instructor Certificate" and "Fitness Instructor with China International Informatization Talent Qualification Certification". The seller also said that there is no need to take an exam to apply for these certificates. You only need to fill in the basic information and pay the fees ranging from 200 yuan to 500 yuan, and you can get the certificate in 7 days at the earliest.

visual angle

Lack of uniform standards leads to the proliferation of certificates.

Why do so many certificates survive? People in the industry and experts generally believe that there are two reasons: first, the industry is developing rapidly and the demand for fitness coaches is large; On the other hand, there is a lack of unified professional standards.

Zhang Shiping, deputy director of the Academic Affairs Office of the Capital Institute of Physical Education, said that since the fitness industry entered the China market around 1998, there has been a proliferation of certificates, most of which are issued by collecting money, and few really put training skills first. In addition, with the continuous expansion of the fitness market, the types of fitness qualification certificates are becoming more and more detailed. Rehabilitation, nutrition, core training and stretching training can all have a certificate.

Chen, who has worked in the fitness industry for more than ten years, is deeply touched by this. She said that at present, the American Sports Association (ACE), the American National Physical Fitness Association (NSCA), the American Sports Medicine Association (ACSM) and the American National Sports Medicine Association (NASM) are recognized in the industry, but in fact most people get certificates from short-term training companies. However, due to the great demand for fitness instructors in the market and the lack of strict recruitment, it is difficult to find a real "certified" fitness instructor. "Now the fitness industry is developing rapidly, there are many gyms, large and small, and the demand for fitness instructors is also increasing rapidly. The unlimited development of the market, the unlimited recruitment of personnel, and the lack of rules and systems have led to the current situation of certificate flooding. Tracing back to the source, it is still because of the lack of staffing standards in the fitness industry. "

To establish professional standards, the threshold should not be too low.

"I feel that no matter what kind of certificate, there should be a basic standard of employment, and the threshold should not be too low. Especially those who have no work experience, it is harmful to go to work with a certificate to guide others to exercise. " Zhang Shiping suggested that there are two ways to issue fitness instructor qualification certificates: first, those with sports colleges and sports professional backgrounds can be employed after training; Second, if you don't have a professional background, you must have practical experience in this industry. You should start from the grass roots, get familiar with this industry gradually, accumulate some common sense and experience, and then receive systematic training.

Lawyer Zhou, director of Beijing Guanling Law Firm, reminded the public that when choosing a gym and a fitness instructor, they should first verify whether the gym has a legal business license and whether the fitness instructor has a coaching qualification certificate issued by the state or association, and then pay and exercise after verifying the above situation.
