3 reasons why you should be dusting off your fitness CV.

Along with a few actions and resources you can use right now to get things going.

1. The fitness industry is bouncing back

Fitness professionals now find themselves in a uniquely favourable position. With the fitness industry opening back up, rebuilding teams is the focus of fitness businesses everywhere. This means a huge variety of jobs available to all professionals, including Personal Training, Management, Sales, Group Training and more.

2. People are prioritising their health and fitness 

For a number of reasons; Newfound access to gyms; The freedom to jump on a treadmill again; The desire to get back on track after lockdown; And most importantly, the need to build a strong, resilient body and immune system. 

Lockdown has shown us that people will pursue health and fitness services, no matter what the circumstances. And despite all home-based efforts, with restrictions easing across the country, we’re seeing people flock back to fitness studios, clubs and private Trainers en masse.

3. The future of fitness is here, and you get to choose where you fit in.

There is no question that our industry felt the impact of lockdown, but it also led to innovation and adaptation that has completely transformed the future of fitness. From new technology to flexibility in the delivery of fitness programs. We now see infinite possibilities and potential for professional and business growth.

Which ultimately means there are more opportunities to create the career you want in the fitness industry, whatever that may look like. 

The direction of any fitness career is limited only by your imagination/enthusiasm. 

The majority of the fitness industry’s biggest players (including CEOs, most managers and even social media icons) progressed from entry-level gym jobs. If you dream of making the move from the gym floor to the head office then now’s your chance to set those wheels in motion. Experience, drive and ongoing development are your tickets to success.

Whether you’re looking to break into the fitness industry, whether you’re a seasoned Trainer looking for a new space to operate, or whether you’re currently employed and looking for more responsibility, now is the time to take action.
