Join the Rec Well Fit Fam at ODU
Now, it's even easier for you to join the Rec Well Fit Fam! To become a fitness instructor or personal trainer at ODU, step one is to take a free, online Canvas course to prepare for an in-house fitness exam. The next step is to either pass our in-house group fitness instructor or personal trainer exam or hold a nationally recognized fitness certification. After passing your exam, we will take you through practical training to help you feel confident before leading your first class or client. Once your training is complete, you can start changing lives!
Please note: This is a non-credit course that certifies you to instruct only at ODU. This is not a nationally recognized certification program.
