Can I join physical fitness course? I want to pursue a career in physical fitness.My age is 37 and I am 12th pass out.

Personal trainers don't always necessitate a college degree, though many are increasingly opting for one, and employers prefer at least a Bachelor's in a fitness or health field. However, many personal trainers hold certification, which can sometimes be substituted for formal education. I would suggest you go for a certificate or diploma course in physical fitness.

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. Fitness is one of the fields where age is not a barrier. In fact, if done right, age can become an advantage. Fitness is all about anti-ageing. So, if one becomes fitter at 40 than he/she was at 35, then a profession in the field is all the more rewarding in terms of conviction. 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. 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. Practical application of the theoretical knowledge is most crucial when it comes to becoming successful as a fitness professional. It's like being a swimming instructor or a driving instructor who has done swimming or driving practically, and has only read about the respective skills in textbooks. Worse still, imagine a surgeon who has never used a scalpel before and a patient going under his knife. A fitness professional who has never been under the bar and has not been able to execute exercise movements with correct form and technique, will never be able to train his/her clients effectively thus making chances of success very very slim. The fitness profession also requires very good communication and interpersonal skills as it is an absolutely client-facing job. So, very sound theoretical and practical knowledge along with very good soft-skills will 'make' a career in the fitness industry. In India, the best place to get educated in the fitness sciences is K11 Academy of Fitness Sciences.
