The job of a personal trainer can seem glamorous, but whether you work with celebrities or at your local gym, the skills and work are essentially the same - helping people to achieve their health and fitness goals.

The work of a personal trainer includes:

  • An initial consultation to determine the client's fitness level and goals
  • Designing a fitness program
  • Educating and motivating the client
  • Offering advice on health, nutrition and lifestyle changes
  • Monitoring and recording progress
Entry into this field requires a high level of experience and at least a level 3 certificate which is recognized by the Register of Exercise Professionals (REPs).
