If you have thought of working at a fitness center as a self-employed personal trainer you are in good company.
Many young school leavers dream of one day working as a Pilate’s instructor or general fitness instructor but the ultimate would be to train as a skilled coach.
You need to acquire the knowledge of how to understand an individual’s needs and motivations, to encourage healthy exercise and eating habits and especially to assist your clients in achieving their goals.
If you prefer to be employed you could apply for positions with health clubs owned by large chains and enjoy their fitness facilities or work at resorts or on cruise ships.
It is advisable to gain experience from others in a large business before becoming a self-employed trainer.
