Today, there are many training courses to become a sports coach or trainer. At the very least, to be able to offer coaching sessions, whether at home or in a gym, the personal trainer must have a BPJEPS (professional diploma for youth, popular education and sport) specialising in gymnastics, fitness and strength activities or the state diploma for sports educators, option fitness professions. There is also the DEUST Métier de la forme, commonly known as STAPS, which is a Bac+2 level degree, as well as the licence which can be followed up to a Master's degree.

His field of intervention is wide and his missions will depend on the request of his clients. His main function is to participate in their good physical condition by means of adapted and personalised courses. The sports coach thus offers individuals individual or group classes aimed at losing weight, perfecting their figure, increasing their muscle mass, reducing joint and muscle pain, improving their well-being, etc. He or she regularly organises physical exercises and sports training sessions in a fitness centre, a public sports hall, a company or even in hotels. When he is an independent or personal sports coach, he will come to his clients' homes or to the premises of associations, bringing the necessary equipment for a private or small group coaching session. During his interventions, he proposes various activities with different exercises: stretching, fitness, gentle gym, body-building, cardio-training, body bump, crossfit, etc.

There are many reasons to use a sports coach. It can sometimes be difficult to achieve the goals we have set ourselves and these may not be in line with our physical condition. So, with a sports coach, it will be easier to target the objectives, whether short, medium or long term, thanks to a sports assessment, and it is afterwards that he will be able to set up a personalised training programme according to physical capacities and level. A sports coach also helps to build self-confidence as he motivates at each session while encouraging his clients to evolve and exceed their limits. And with a personal trainer, it will be possible to practice physical activities in complete safety. Their training allows them to guide their clients in the exercises they do: better positioning during certain exercises in order to avoid injury, for example.

You can call on a sports coach at any time, whether it is to accompany you in your daily physical activities to keep in shape or to achieve a particular objective: getting back into shape, losing weight, strengthening muscles, refining your figure, etc. There is no specific time to call on the services of a sports coach.

The cost of sports coaching varies according to many parameters, including the reputation of the coach. But on average, you should expect to pay around 40 - 60 € for a session, depending on the duration. The more sessions there are, the less it will cost the client, as the prices are degressive. For group classes, the rates per person are between €15 and €25. It may be more beneficial to share sessions with other people so that you can compare levels and share nutritional advice, for example.

The first criterion for selecting a sports coach is his or her certification. In order to practice, he or she must at least have a professional card. This indicates that he is referenced in the RNCP (National Directory of Professional Certifications) and therefore that he is recognised by the Ministry of Labour. Next, he or she must be attentive and benevolent in order to understand the needs and set up a programme adapted to each client. No forced abdominal exercises if there is no need to do them or if they do not correspond to the wishes of the coachee.
