DETAILS:         Become a Shape Up NYC fitness instructor!  NYC Parks is accepting applications now for the Fall 2014 session of the Shape Up NYC Fitness Instructor Training Program.

                        The 10-week training program begins soon in each of the five boroughs.  For a low cost, participants learn topics like basic anatomy, exercise physiology, injury prevention, music, cueing and body toning with light weights through ten 2.5 hour classroom and gym sessions.

After participants finish the training portion of the program, they get practical experience by leading a one-hour Shape Up NYC class per week as part of a six month internship.  The internships take place at a variety of sites across the five boroughs, including schools, hospitals, community centers, NYCHA facilities, and senior centers.  When they finish the program, participants receive a certificate of completion, and the classroom training and practical skills to spread the benefits of fitness and healthy living.

NYC Parks’ Shape Up NYC program is a fitness initiative bringing free, instructor-led exercise classes to locations across New York City.  The classes are open to all New Yorkers with no pre-registration.  The program recently expanded to over 200 free fitness classes per week in more than 100 locations in all five boroughs, thanks to sponsors Empire Blue Cross Blue Shield, Equinox and NYC Service.
