    Personal training is a big business-a $10 billion dollar industry, in fact, according to market research from IBISWorld. Its a continually evolving industry, one that offers a range of potential career opportunities for individuals interested in becoming personal trainers. Personal training is a flexible occupation and allows for quick entry with a high school degree and national certification. However, advanced training, experience and a postsecondary education can better position trainers for career success.

    I feel quite good to see the discussion going on a topic which most of the people would answer within a second without even thinking of it. Most of the answers regarding this topic would be just one sentence which is " there's very much less opportunities in the field of sports and fitness training" but actually it is quite opposite we would now see people tending towards taking care of their fitness and physique. Specifically talking about fitness there's a lot of opportunities like following :
    1. As physical instructor
    2. As a gym Instructor
    3. Fitness coach. Etc. And the list goes on
    So no doubt the opportunities are there and the best

    At the level of Government, I don't still find much encouragement. In some places, Governments have developed good infrastructure. But, there is a need for appointing coaches. People no doubt are more aware of the significance of fitness. As a private enterprise, the chances are more for the fitness trainers. The chances will grow further. There will be more and more studios and the trainers will continue to earn money.

    Start coaching immediately. You don't have to do anything fancy from the start. Get certified. While you're coaching, start earning your credentials. Become a complete fitness professional. Learn how to coach real people. Get some business training. A career of learning and development.

    Hi, The scope for a personal trainer is infinite if you are internationally certified and gathered hands on experience. Just like any other field PT has all three sides
    Low income: trainers working with small or average gyms on a fixed salary. Middle income: Trainers working with average and big gyms and also getting income from personal training. High income: this is the segment most people want to start with however it generally comes with time and exposure of the industry. Here you have created your name in the market and are charging handsome fee for your Personal Training. If you are willing to go the extra mile there are rewards t

    Hi Prateek, The scope is very large and you have various career option. Firstly you need to certify yourself into the field of fitness and keep yourself updated with the knowledge. Once you do that you can work as a Personal trainer, if you work in the gym as a personal trainer then the gym will pay you a salary and on the PT's you take the gym will pay you a commission. For a Personal trainer, his main income is from PT commissions. You can educate yourself as Sports nutritionist as well and consult your clients as well. I know some Personal trainers whose income exceeds 1,00,000 plus per month. But if you think to set up a fitness cl
