Fitness Instructor (General) Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I’ve spent the last five years helping clients move beyond their comfort zones in the gym, and I’ve learned that steady progress beats quick wins. At a recent role I used a simple assessment to slot clients into appropriate programs, and I helped ensure each session ran smoothly with clear safety checks and well maintained equipment. In practice I’ve seen programs for groups of up to 12 participants run without incident for four consecutive months, using a consistent approach to technique and progression. In this role I want to bring solid skills in program design, group instruction and client monitoring. I’m comfortable creating personalised plans based on age, goals and current fitness levels, and I can adjust on the fly if a client hits a plateau or if a class needs a lighter or tougher day. I value clear communication, safety and injury prevention, and I’m confident with basic equipment maintenance and hygiene routines to keep the gym environment safe and welcoming. One example stands out from my time at [Previous Company]. A client pair with mixed fitness levels needed a shared program, so I designed a scalable option with separate progressions. Over eight weeks they both progressed in strength and endurance, and the client reported feeling more confident approaching group classes. I kept notes on technique cues and rechecked safety procedures after every session to avoid niggles or strain. I’d welcome the chance to discuss how I can contribute to [Company Name]. I’m available for a chat at your convenience and happy to provide references or a short demonstration if helpful. Kind regards, [Your Name]
