Do you want to be a Personal Trainer?
Before deciding to get certified there’s some things to consider that may help you in your decision making.
Personal trainers are knowledgeable, skilled and possess the abilities to design safe and effective fitness programs. They instruct and assist people in reaching personal health and fitness goals which can be harder than most people appreciate to achieve, we are helpers and want to see our clients achieve whichever goal they have set from fitting into a dress for a wedding or a complete lifestyle change.
Personal trainers have many roles and are responsible for maintaining the scope of practice for their profession and certification. IFA Training Certified Personal Trainers have been assessed for internationally accredited skill sets that speak directly to this.

Why Become a Personal Trainer?
Many people become personal trainers because they have a passion for health and fitness. Experiencing the results of a fit lifestyle first-hand creates a desire to share that knowledge.
Helping others achieve and maintain their fitness is a rewarding career and creates job satisfaction for those that pursue this path.

What is your role as a Personal Trainer?
Personal trainers get to enjoy flexible schedules and high earning potential. However, like any new career it takes time to build up and start a culture for your clients. We like to say, “you get what you give, and it takes time.”
Don’t get discouraged if it isn’t everything that you thought it would be right in the onset. Set a realistic timeline for reaching goals, and remind yourself that Rome wasn’t built in a day.

Where can you work as a Personal Trainer?
Personal trainers are only limited by their imagination. You can be a traveling trainer or a community park trainer or a cruise ship trainer, the work settings are vast and can be tapped into when you set your mind to it. If you start working for a local club, great! If you’ve never worked as a trainer, we recommend working for a club to get your feet wet and learn the ropes.
