In the recent years, due to the governments‘ active promotion of fitness, many public and private fitness centers and gyms have been established, leading to a large demand for professional managers, service staffs, and fitness instructors. And fitness instructors‘ teaching styles is one of the main factors which influence members‘ participation in classes. This study aimed to explore the relationship between fitness instructors‘ teaching styles and members‘ motivations to participate. First, the importance of fitness instructors and group exercise classes was discussed, and instructors‘ teaching styles and members‘ motivations to participate were defined. Then, through literature analysis, the relationship between fitness instructors‘ teaching styles and members‘ motivations to participate was further explored. According to several previous studies, when teaching members, fitness instructors shall try to provide guidance with optional movements, help members to be more independent, and make them feel instructors‘ concerns and enthusiasms, in order to increase their internal motivations. Stronger internal motivations lead to higher satisfaction and stronger intention to continuously participate in exercise classes. Lastly, this study provided some suggestions to fitness instructors and managers of fitness centers / gyms, in hopes of further understanding members‘ motivations to participate, for the purpose of improving their loyalty.
