Foundational Course for Group Fitness Instructors
For group fitness instructors who want to build a solid theoretical foundation in anatomy, physiology, and exercise science. Basic Theory provides both new and experienced instructors with the knowledge they need to create safe and effective workout classes. With an on-demand structure, the course is flexible and accessible whenever it suits your schedule, making it perfect to integrate into your existing routine. Every component is carefully designed to be both engaging and educational, helping you grow and become a better instructor with evidence-based knowledge as your foundation.
Why Theoretical Knowledge is Crucial for Group Fitness Instructors
Understanding how the body works and the fundamental principles of exercise is essential for group fitness instructors who aim to deliver high-quality and safe classes. With knowledge of anatomy and physiology – how the body’s organs and energy systems function – you can better adapt exercises and understand how your coaching impacts participants’ bodies. The basics of exercise science, including strength training, endurance training, mobility, and recovery, empower you to create balanced classes that support your participants’ long-term development and well-being.
Most group fitness instructors are already experts in the practical aspects of their role and in coaching their participants effectively. However, the theoretical background is often missing, which makes it harder to truly understand and explain why certain methods work better than others. Basic Theory bridges that gap, giving you the knowledge you need to become a more well-rounded and confident instructor.
The Benefits of On-Demand Learning for Theoretical Knowledge
With an on-demand structure, our students have the freedom to study at their own pace, which is particularly advantageous when mastering theoretical knowledge. Basic Theory is designed to maximize learning through over 400 interactive questions that ensure you fully grasp and can apply what you’ve learned. The unique aspect of our course is that all materials are presented in video format with subtitles, featuring 3D animations and filmed scenarios. This makes learning both engaging and educational. Additionally, you can revisit the content as many times as you like – either by rewatching the videos or reviewing the text materials linked to each lesson. This approach gives you the best tools to understand and apply the theoretical knowledge that will make you a stronger and more confident group fitness instructor.
Why Les Mills Instructors Should Take Basic Theory
Les Mills instructors deliver some of the most popular and engaging group fitness classes worldwide. However, to elevate your expertise and further enhance your ability to guide participants safely and effectively, Basic Theory is the perfect complement to your existing skills.

By completing this course, you’ll not only gain confidence in explaining the “why” behind your methods but also strengthen your ability to design and deliver classes that are safe, effective, and grounded in evidence-based knowledge.

"Generellt mycket bra och relevant innehåll, tydligt och tydligt! Speciellt tycker jag att kapitlen görs lätta att förstå, speciellt inom anatomin med 3D, fäste och ursprung, funktion och exempel på övningar för den enskilda muskeln.
Stort plus för att kunna både höra och läsa text. Samt otroligt lätt att arbeta igenom kapitlen."
