Gym Coach Volunteer

We’re dedicated to providing students at King’s with the opportunity to develop skills that will benefit them throughout their careers whilst studying at university. If you have a passion for health & fitness but no qualifications to apply for one of our Health & Fitness Coach roles, we can support you through the process and assign a current coach as a mentor to your progress.

What does this mean? All we ask is for 100 hours of volunteer time on our gym floor or reception and in return, we’ll pay for a Level 2 in Gym Instruction as well as 1 of 3 CPD Courses in Spin, Boxing or Les Mills GRIT.
