Are you constantly trying to get your friends to join you on hikes, bikes and in the gym? Are you passionate about health and fitness and love to help people? Then becoming a Personal Trainer might just be the perfect opp for you!

From being a career that is diverse, flexible and rewarding, to not being stuck behind a desk all day (hallelujah!) and the potential to be your own boss, here are some reasons to start a career in the fitness industry.

1. It's rewarding

Every day you’re changing people’s lives by improving their health, fitness and wellbeing. In simple terms, when someone exercises, their body releases endorphins, which make them happy and I dunno if you know, but happiness is kinda important!

Not only that, but you are impacting peoples’ lives by increasing their lifespan and smashing their personal goal. That is an incredibly fulfilling feeling if ya ask me.

2. Diversity in jobs

Want to be a personal trainer? What about a gym instructor? Maybe a fitness facility manager? The fitness industry is incredibly diverse and offers an abundance of career opportunities and paths. You can be self-employed, work as part of a team or establish your own business employing staff. 

3. Killing two birds with one stone 

Most people find it difficult to fit exercise in around their jam-packed work schedules, but not for those in the fitness industry. You’re literally getting paid to stay healthy! 

From the get go with FIT College, you’ll be learning in both the classroom and the gym so you’ll receive theory and practical education which will make you a competent and confident PT.

4. Opportunity to be your own boss

There is so much room in the fitness industry for bosses so why not work for yourself? The fitness industry can allow you to own your own business, be a franchisee or a self-employed personal trainer. 

Personal training is only increasing in popularity as more people put value in their health. There’s no shortage of oppotunity!

5. Flexible work schedule

Flexibility in a job is such a breath of fresh air as you never feel constricted or bored. A lot of professions in the fitness industry allow you to create a work schedule that suits you, giving you the opportunity to have a healthy work/life balance. 

This flexibility begins on your first day of studies with FIT College as you’re able to pick the course pathway that fits your lifestyle. Whether that’s full time, part time or online study. 

6. Range of environments

Whether you like working outdoors, indoors, a group setting or solo, there are a variety of environments within the fitness industry to suit.

I mean, most people who leap into the fitness industry are actively avoiding a 9-5, 4 grey-walled, desk job. So the ability to move around the place is a blessing! Many fitness professionals choose the industry to avoid a desk-based job and have the ability to move around and stay on their feet.

7. High-Satisfaction Work

In the fitness industry, you’re able to help people live their best lives. Be a mentor and a guide for your clients and watch them grow! What's better than that?!
