Fitness Trainer
 

A FITNESS trainer is a person who helps others attain their fitness goals through personalised exercise instruction. The work includes strength training, weight management, cardiovascular exercise, nutrition and flexibility training. Fitness/personal trainers may be hired by clients to lose weight, tone muscles and help them develop a training routine.
They may deliver private training sessions to clients or work in gymnasiums. Trainers help to demonstrate the use of various exercise machines, the benefits of each and the precautions neccessary while exercising.

Qualifications: A Physical education (bachelor in physical education) course followed by aerobics/martial arts/allied training can lead to a career in fitness instruction.
Physiotherapists certified as fitness trainers would be very effective in helping clients avoid injuries and strain while exercising.
Fitness trainer courses are offered to men and women above 18 years of age mainly by fitness training centres, gyms and manufacturers of sports equipment.

Placement: A heightened awareness of fitness and the availability of home exercise machines have created a steady demand for the services of personal trainers and fitness instructors.
