Can I build my career in the fitness field? I have recently completed class 12th with 62%. I want to go into the fitness field.

A career in the fitness industry is extremely fruitful both financially and emotionally. Fitness is a booming industry and the earning potential in the industry is potentially limitless. As with any other field, a good education in the fitness sciences along with nutritional sciences will make one into a well-rounded fitness professional. It is also noteworthy that the career in the fitness industry is not salary based. Fitness professionals make their income from professional fees like doctors, lawyers, CA's, etc. An education from a good institution that has both theory and practical classes with serious assessments is the first step toward stepping into the fitness industry as a professional. The knowledge of pure Science subjects like Anatomy and Physiology of the human body along with the applied Science subjects of Kinesiology, correct knowledge of human biomechanics and exercise Science is indispensable. Since fitness education is a vocational training, hence entry barriers in terms of educational qualifications into fitness are also lesser. Typically, a 10th pass person can start with foundation courses in the fitness sciences. In India, the best place to get educated in the fitness sciences is K11 Academy of Fitness Sciences.
