Career choices for the certified fitness trainer

Want to explore the broad world of health and fitness? If you’re like me, working on a fitness training certification, or if you’re interested in entering the industry, here are career choices that will fuel your passion.  

Personal Trainer 

Being a personal trainer is a rewarding experience. It allows an individual to be involved in someone’s goals and dreams. As a personal trainer, it is your duty to guide your clients in sticking to a fitness plan based on their current physical state and goals. Aside from doing one-to-one consulting sessions, personal trainers can also do virtual training or group exercise sessions.

Gym Assistant 

For those who are still working on their certification, becoming a gym assistant is a good start. It is a customer service position, but you’ll get great on-the-job experience before you go a notch higher as a personal trainer or as a fitness consultant. Doing this job will definitely benefit your journey to becoming a fitness professional.  

Lifestyle and Weight Management Consultant 

This appealing job is ideal for individuals who want to be set apart from other personal trainers. Lifestyle and weight management consultants are with their clients in every step of their journey, and not just inside the gym. Unlike personal trainers who are limited within the four walls of the gym, lifestyle and weight management consultants help clients change their eating and other lifestyle habits to aid long-term improvement. This job is a good way to level up one’s personal training career.
