An aerobics instructor leads exercise sessions for a group of participants. The group may be heterogeneous, including individuals with different fitness levels, medical concerns and ages, or homogeneous, with individuals who have similar characteristics such as arthritis, frail and elderly, or pregnancy. Examples of group exercise instruction include land- or water-based dance/step aerobics, chair aerobics, and cycling. Aerobics instructors can be employed in a variety of settings including commercial fitness centers, employee fitness programs, or hospitals. Minimal requirements are an undergraduate degree and some type of recognized certification, such as that from the American College of Sports Medicine.
