Thinking about my fitness career
I’ve almost finished my Certificate IV in Fitness, I only have one more Sunday class after this weekend and then it’s work placement time. Since I’ve been studying, I’ve had fitness on my mind a lot, and I’ve been looking at what I want to do after I finish my course.
I’ve really loved everything I’ve learned, even if I haven’t had it applied to my life and my own training just yet. I adore helping people, training them to achieve their goals, educating them on fitness & health and finding ways to enjoy being active. I’m not really an early morning, outside in the park kind of person but I’m definitely up for educating businesses, schools, organizations and other groups about the importance of exercise. I love the idea of working with kids and getting them excited about moving!
There are so many different options and I need to choose my work placement location but can’t decide what I would like to do the most? Start in a gym or branch out to something more specific? Look into Group Exercise qualifications or wait and see where I end up?
There are so many options! Plus I’m still passionate about public health/nutrition/health marketing so I would really love to tie it all together.
While I think on it, here’s a video from Emma of Barre Body, where I trialled a class a few months ago. The class times didn’t suit me then but I’m trying to make some time to drop by again. In the meantime, try these exercises at home with me!

Fitness careers are the best careers
It’s great to see you making a career in fitness and health. As many people, both young and old are becoming health conscious, fitness trainers are much in demand. Besides starting a gym you can also start workshops for kids as well as for working people. Being a working person, I’m desperate in need of one. Wish you luck and success.
There are not many women personal trainers in the fitness industry. Keep up the energy cheers!!!
Having a career in the fitness industry can be very taxing to both the mind and the body. Imagine training people almost every day even if you’re not in the mood? This is why it really takes great dedication and love for fitness if you want to succeed in this line of work. I’m wishing you all the best and I hope you don’t get tired of empowering people through fitness.
Keep up the good work. Competency based learning is something that I can’t underestimate the importance of. I learnt how important it is when teaching/tutoring. I have to finish my Cert 1V in Training & Development, but would love to be doing something that is less sedentary, and if your work is your passion you are streets ahead. Not many people think of their body and health as an investment. We get insurance policies on nearly everything except our health and fitness and we exercise our brains, but not as great a premium is put on exercising our bodies by a lot of people.
