According to the Department
of Labor, the number of personal trainers grew by 44 percent in 2010 and 2011.
That's why so many unemployed Americans are trying to transform their passion
for fitness into a new career.
Surprisingly, the fitness
industry is one of the few growing businesses since the recession began adding
nearly 10 million jobs and gym members since 2007.
With the obesity problem
in the United States continuing to rise, the demand for personal trainers also
continues to rise. Health and fitness
isn’t a fad, it’s here to stay. Almost
every gym in America along with many other medical facilities is looking for
certified personal trainers.
Along with a good base
salary, many personal trainers enjoy the flexible schedule. The flexibility allows for many trainers to
spend more time with their families as either full time or part time trainers.
