I want to be employed doing a job I LOVE! |
Why waste time in a job you don't enjoy? If you can't tell the difference between work and play then you know you are doing something you love. There are part time and full time jobs at health clubs, leisure centres, sporting facilities, schools, holiday resorts, hospitals, community centres, nursing homes, corporate gyms, government agencies, even cruise ships. The choice is yours. And of course your employment chances are boosted with the Institute's Career Partner Program.

I want to run my own business and take control of my life. |
Setting up your own business requires drive and commitment. But then again you are in charge, all the rewards are yours and you can build an asset for the future. If you want to be your own boss then the fitness industry has a myriad of opportunities:become a franchised personal trainer at a major health, or start up your own PT studio. How about a women's weight loss and exercise business, or an outdoor training company? Have you considered school based kid's fitness programs, or specialising in aged care activities? Starting up your own business will be even easier with the Institute's new Executive Master Trainer program.

I love fitness and being active and want to make it my career. |
One thing is for sure, where you start is not usually where you will end up. The fitness industry has many different career paths and you can spend years exploring all your options. As your skills develop and you gain experience, new doors of opportunity will open. Each day can bring new inspiration and new challenges. Wherever you are and whatever you are doing, you will be surrounded by people who love fitness, just like you.

I enjoy working with people and getting positive outcomes. |
| What could be better than delivering the healthy benefits of physical activity? Every person you help can lead a longer, healthier life thanks to the proven benefits of exercise. Whether it be helping someone lose weight, recover after an injury, or just feeling better about themselves, you know you are doing something positive. |

I want to do something new and exciting like work in a health club or on a cruise ship |
Think of your qualification from the Institute as your passport to adventure. For many people working in the fitness industry is like no other industry. It is so full of energetic, like-minded people. However, if adventure is what you want how about instructing on a cruise ship, preparing clients to climb Kilimanjaro, being a trainer for a sporting team, boot camp on a tropical island, or personal training in London?

I want to be a personal trainer. |
There is something magical about working with people one-on-one. Whether in the gym or on the beach it is the most popular career in the fitness industry today. For starters it's the best way to help someone get results. The pay can be fantastic and the flexible hours can be great. But in the end it is the people you meet that count, with friendships that can last a life-time.

I love group fitness and want to teach it. |
Crank up the music and bust a move. Most health clubs offer a varied group fitness program and with so many fabulous classes to teach the hardest part is deciding what to specialise in: boxing, cycling, dance, core, stretch, high energy, low impact, the choices are many and varied. You can do additional training with Les Mills to teach a licensed program, or combine your group fitness qualification with personal training – it's a great way to meet new clients. Or if you like getting wet how about adding aqua instructing to your career path.
