FAQ’s
1. Am I fit enough to attend a Burlex Fitness Class?
Burlex Fitness classes provide a medium level of cardio fitness in the form of interval training. Everyone is encouraged to work at a pace that is comfortable for them. We offer various adaptations of core moves too, so no matter what shape or size, the moment you begin, you’re building your own personal fitness level.
2. How do I become a Burlex Fitness instructor in my area?
Visit our ‘instructor courses’ page and sign up to begin your training today!
3. Are there any prerequisites?
To apply on our courses we ask that you are aged 18 or over, have a recognised dance or fitness qualification or a minimum qualification of Level 2 Exercise to Music. If you enjoy motivating and supporting others then this is the perfect job for you.
4. What are the benefits of studying online?
By studying online you can choose the days and hours you wish to study and work around your current schedule. You will be provided with a range of Burlex Fitness choreographed routines showing a mix of prop and core steps through video links. Video chats are also available with home study trainees and a lead Burlex instructor is always at hand to discuss any questions you may have regarding your training.
5. How am I assessed during my training?
The contents of the home study are split into four sections consisting of three theory and one practical element. The theory sections will be answered and findings will be logged in a workbook to show evidence that you understand the program’s structure and formula. For your practical assessment, you will deliver a short Burlex masterclass using our choreography along with your own choreographed routine to your students. This will be recorded and used for evidence of your teachings.
9. What happens after I sign up?
Once signed up you will be able to download your Burlex Fitness manual and workbook so you can get familiar with our program. A goody bag of Burlex props will be posted to you within 7 days. You may start looking for places to hold your classes but will not have permission to use our marketing material, brand name or logo until you have completed the course and signed the licence agreement.
10. What is the instructor licence and how long does it last?
The instructor licence is an agreement between the instructor and BurleX Fitness. It allows the instructor to use Burlex Fitness marketing material, brand logo name, receive new monthly choreographed routines and have access to free advertising through the website and Burlex social media sites. You will become part of the Burlex instructor network and have continual support from our team, with choreography tips from our instructor trainers as well as invitations to workshops and masterclasses.
We have included the option for new instructors to pay a monthly subscription (£15.00) or a discounted price of £120.00 for full annual subscription. This is an automatic recurring fee through Paypal and needs to be activated within a week of qualifying from your course. Our prices can’t be beat and there are no other hidden costs or fees.
11. How soon can I start teaching classes?
Once you have completed the theory and practical tasks, have been signed off by your lead instructor and your licence fee subscription is activated, you are ready to begin.
