Fitness workers instruct or coach groups or individuals in various exercise activities. Because gyms and health clubs offer a variety of exercise activities such as weightlifting, yoga, aerobics, and karate, fitness workers typically specialize in only a few areas. For example, fitness trainers help clients to assess their level of physical fitness and help them to set and reach fitness goals.
Personal trainers work with clients on a one-on-one basis in either a gym or the client’s home.
Aerobics instructors conduct group exercise sessions that involve aerobic exercise, stretching, and muscle conditioning. Some fitness workers may perform the duties of both aerobics instructors and fitness trainers.
There are many organizations that offer certification testing in the fitness field. Certification generally is good for 2 years, after which workers must become recertified. Recertification is accomplished by attending continuing education classes. The websites below offer instruction, information, and training to become certified in the respective categories.
