[LUNA STUDIO's Training System Revealed!] Why You Can Confidently Debut as an Instructor Even Without Experience!
Estimated reading time: 8-10 minutes
From no experience to a gymnastics instructor!?
We are introducing LUNA STUDIO's "serious training system" that supports such challenges in its entirety!
We cover everything from preparation before hitting the floor to support after joining the company✨
Hello! This is Kinoshita from the LUNA STUDIO PR team (@LunaStudio_HR)😊
Believe it or not, about 90% of the instructors at LUNA STUDIO had no prior gymnastics experience!!
"I wasn't particularly good at sports, but I love children," "I was worried if I could do it, but I decided to take the challenge"—people who jumped in with those feelings are now active as instructors who confidently lead their classes.
How is that possible? It's because LUNA STUDIO has a "training system" that we have meticulously crafted.
In the world, there are many cases where companies claim to have "extensive training," but when you actually join, there is almost nothing to it. However, LUNA STUDIO is different.
"What, how much, and in what order do you learn before going on the floor?" "Who supports you and how?" "When you encounter difficulties, at what point are you followed up with?"
We have verbalized all these elements and designed them into a system.
This time, we are revealing LUNA STUDIO's "Instructor Training Program" in its entirety! We hope you can experience the "reasons why you can grow with peace of mind even without experience"✨

🎤 Voice of a New Employee (Joined in July, No Gymnastics Experience)
“Honestly, I was very anxious at first. I had never taught gymnastics before, and I didn't know how to interact with children. However, thanks to the initial two days of classroom and practical training, I learned the basics one by one, such as 'this is how you teach' and 'this is how you should move,' which allowed me to go out into the field with peace of mind.
Even after starting on the floor, my seniors provided careful support through OJT, and I gradually got used to assisting and interacting with the children. There was also a follow-up training session in the first month, and I was grateful that they made sure my 'weaknesses' didn't just stay that way.
Now, I've learned the children's names and have been entrusted with leading lessons! I believe the reason I can work happily every day is because of that training system.”
