A career in personal training can be a very rewarding experience. Some of the benefits include:
- Obtaining a thorough knowledge of how the body functions
- Understanding people from a psychological, emotional and motivational level
- Gaining business-building experience including selling and retention skills
- Flexible working hours
- Good rates of pay
- Meeting successful or interesting clients
- Making long-lasting professional relationships
- Making a positive difference to people’s lives
- Opportunity to keep in excellent physical condition
However, before embarking on a career within any industry you must also be aware of the downsides to the job. Therefore, please read and consider the following necessities of becoming a personal trainer:
Long hours – some days can start before 7am and finish around 9pm
Travelling – you may have to travel around to suit each client
Seasonal peaks and troughs – January can be too busy, August can be too quiet
Counselling – some of your clients will need your help to deal with some of their issues on an emotional and psychological level
Aside from all the above, at W Fitness we also expect our trainers to have the following attributes:
- Be qualified upto and beyond Degree level in Sports Science or similar field
- Have other interests and hobbies from outside the industry
- Be knowledgeable of current affairs from home and abroad
- Read Financial Press of at least one broadsheet daily.
