How do I run a taster session?

Once you have a small group of interested people, the next step is a proper taster with a certified instructor — not a casual session led by yourself, unless you're also certified.

Basics to organise:

  • A space roughly 6×8m, cleared of obstacles

  • A speaker capable of filling the room

  • 30–45 minutes is usually enough for a first taster

  • Confirm your instructor's qualifications and insurance in advance (see "What qualifications should our instructor hold?" in the Fitness Managers category)

After the session, ask directly: "Would you come every week if this ran locally?" A room full of "yes" answers is genuine evidence of demand — useful if you later want to approach a venue or funder.
