Personal trainers cite several reasons why they love their job, including:
Most personal fitness trainers become educated in physical therapy, exercise physiology, nutrition and weight management and then select a few certifications to demonstrate their understanding. With these certifications and educational credentials, they approach gyms or fitness centers to begin building a clientele. While many personal fitness trainers are employed by athletic facilities, self-employment is also a popular choice.
Fitness workers held 235,000 jobs in 2006 according to U.S. Department of Labor figures, and over the next decade, employment is expected to increase a shocking 27 percent—much faster than for most other professions. The reasons for this include the fact that many parents are hiring personal trainers to combat childhood obesity issues and the aging Baby Boomer population is hiring personal trainers to help them prolong health and activity.
