    Not true. Though I cannot speak to all disciplines and I believe there are specifics about teaching gymnastics to children but I could be wrong.

    However, you can teach as a personal trainer, group fitness/aerobics instructor and numerous other disciplines including pole dancing without a certification.

    It's generally not advised and most gyms or facilities won't hire you without it but it's not law.
