Student Application Process
William & Mary Campus Recreation conducts Fitness & Wellness Instructor Hiring every fall and spring. Individuals do not have to have a national fitness certification in order to be hired as Fitness & Wellness Instructors at the Student Recreation Center. However, once hired, Instructors must obtain a national Group Fitness Instructor Certification before they can teach on their own. The Campus Rec in-house Fitness Instructor Training Course prepares students to take the American Council on Exercise Group Fitness Instructor Exam to become nationally certified Group Fitness Instructors. Students that have not taken the FitWell Instructor Training Course when they are hired will be required to take it while on staff.
Once hired, Instructors will be considered "Fitness Instructors-In-Training" and will team-teach classes with returning Instructors until they are ready to teach classes on their own.
