Role of a Professional Personal Trainer

Sometimes it takes a paid professional to slog you through endless squats, push-ups and burpees, or just to get you to the gym at 6 a.m. In 2021, the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) stated that personal trainers currently serve as the primary profession within the fitness industry. The DOL went on to define the role of personal trainers as:

Working with a single client or small group fitness class.

Assessing client levels of physical fitness and helping set and reach fitness goals.

Maintaining records of clients’ exercise sessions to monitor clients’ progress toward physical fitness.

Training within a gym, on-line training or in-home services.

Demonstrating various exercises and helping clients improve their exercise techniques.

Advising clients on how to modify their lifestyles outside of the gym to improve fitness.

What Makes it Great?

With obesity rates on the rise, post Covid-19 Qualified educated personal trainers are in high demand. They can also work in a variety of settings beyond the gym, from hospitals to corporate wellness centers, to clients’ homes, to outdoor boot camps.

Current Fitness Industry Overview

The global fitness industry is worth 96.7 billion in 2020, with more than 184 million gym memberships. As Americans have become increasingly more interested in personal fitness, especially post Covid-19 pandemic. This heightened focus on fitness and health and wellness has enabled the field of personal training to thrive.
