Fitness Trainer
Issues like obesity and sedentary lifestyles are driving more people to stay healthy and get fit. Despite their best efforts, people often need extra help with committing to a workout regimen. So, people hire trainers to help them achieve their fitness goals.
Fitness training is currently one of the fastest-growing industries. Fitness Trainer VBOs work with clients virtually, individually, and in class settings to create and implement exercise routines. If you’re a gym rat who’s all about health, you can turn your love of fitness into a viable career as a Fitness Trainer VBO.
DESCRIPTION
Fitness trainers work with clients to lead, instruct, and encourage physical exercise. These exercises may include cardio, stretching, yoga, strength training, and more. Trainers work with people of all ages across a variety of skill and fitness levels. Clients can range from beginners to competition-level athletes. Trainers may also work with people recovering from injuries and ailments. Trainers may work in a group setting teaching classes or one-on-one with clients to improve physical fitness and athletic ability.
Thanks to technology, fitness trainers need not meet with clients in-person to administer their services. Fitness Trainer VBOs meet with their clients virtually using video sharing programs. In order to be a successful Fitness Trainer VBO, you will need access to professional A/V equipment, video sharing and recording programs, and appointment setting software. You must also be able to network and market yourself to potential clients.
