Cancer Research UK is seeking instructors for new female-only fitness classes to run in conjunction with its popular charity running event Race for Life.
‘Racercise’ classes will be available all-year-round, providing fitness routines designed around the use of a resistance band to women of all ages and fitness levels.
A spokesperson for Cancer Research UK told
Health Club Management that it has developed Racercise with “a range of industry professionals” who consulted on the structure, content and training programme.
To date, the charity has focused on establishing classes with aerobics instructors and trainers who have an existing relationship with Race for Life at a regional/local level. However, it is now seeking additional fitness instructors, networks and bodies across the health and fitness sector to support Racercise.
According to Cancer Research, instructors will have a “unique opportunity” to appeal to the millions of women in the UK who have taken part in Race for Life and to promote their classes to current Race for Life participants.
All Racercise instructors must be qualified fitness instructors or personal trainers, and are recommended to have a Level 3 Diploma in Personal Training, or an exercise to Music Instructor (ETM) Level 2 or above.
To qualify, instructors must obtain a £250 annual license, for which they will receive a range of resources, including class content, equipment, as well as marketing and networking opportunities.
