❏ Future outlook
❏ Lifestyle factors
❏ Advancement opportunities
I extremely enjoy going to the gym and working out to better my self
physically. I want a lifestyle where I can not only benefit my self in
that way, but others as well. I have been working out a very long
time and I believe I have a great expertise in the science behind
working out.
I can work on my own time and do something that I personally love
while helping others. However, in the long run it can be very
damaging to the body so I would have to understand my limits and
adjust accordingly.
To help and support others and give important information on how to
get in whatever desirable physical condition they pursue. You have
to adjust to others wants and give advice that applies to the one
person for best results.
When searched it shows the average base salary is $29 an hour
however it can be very different for everybody pursuing this career.
It can indeed be much higher as many can charge up to hundreds
an hour.
There is supposed to be a 19% increase in personal trainer jobs
within the next 10 years which turns out to be 57,800 new jobs.
Carrying 1 on 1 personal training sessions with passion and
diligence while staying attentive to the client. You can lead group
workouts and it all comes out to be very physically demanding.
You can become a gym facility manager or owner and can even get
into exercise referral.
