It appears we have been taking notice. In 2014, the income of the health and fitness industry rose by 4% - and continues to grow at a rate faster than most other industries.
While many still prefer traditional gym classes, a growing number of those interested in health and fitness are opting for a more personalised, on-on-one approach and hiring a personal trainer.
A personal trainer will be in charge of more than just your new fitness program. Responsibilities include:
- Client assessment
- Defining and setting health and fitness goals
- Instructing clients on safety and performance
- Instruction clients of lifestyle factors such as diet
- Motivating and encouraging clients to meet their goals
- Measuring outcomes and providing feedback
- Referring clients to appropriate medical professionals if required
If you want to have a positive impact on the lives of others, enjoy health and fitness and like the idea of working outside regular business hours, then a career as a personal trainer could be the ideal for you!
To become a personal trainer, you will need to complete your Certificate III + IV in Fitness as a minimum. This will cover not only basic science and training, but will also give you skills in marketing, management and small business compliance - all essential when starting up your own business!
Learning Cloud offers Certificate III + IV in Fitness online and via correspondence, which is ideal for those wanting to retain their employment whilst re-training.
You will need access to a video camera or phone with the ability to record, a local gym to demonstrate safe use of equipment, and a willing participant to train.
