Help others unlock their best lives and build an exciting new career by studying a fitness course.

You want an exciting career working with people and care deeply about seeing others succeed. Now, join one of Australia’s fastest-growing industries and start a rewarding new career by studying a fitness course.

Working closely with clients to provide exercise routines, instruction and support, fitness industry professionals provide the theoretical knowledge and practical assistance to help clients reach their goals and unlock the lives they want to live. By studying a fitness course, you’ll build the essential skills and knowledge needed to stand out in a competitive industry, and build trust and commitment with a wide range of clients.

More than 80 per cent Australians who exercise use gym and fitness facilities, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, and Fitness Australia reports that the number of fitness instructors in Australia has more than doubled in the last decade.

Now, build the skills needed to stand out in that market and start a deeply rewarding career in the fitness industry.

As a fitness instructor, you’ll be responsible for designing, planning, implementing and evaluating fitness programs for clients, and you may also provide additional holistic health, lifestyle and nutrition advice.

You can study a fitness course at a certificate or diploma level, or as part of a bachelor’s or master’s degree in health science, sports science or physiology. After completing a fitness course, you’ll likely seek employment as a fitness instructor, personal trainer, gym manager or group fitness coordinator.

Australians are increasingly aware of the value of prioritising health and wellbeing, and with an estimated two-thirds of our population overweight or obese, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, skilled fitness professionals are likely to continue being called upon to help Australians live their best lives. If you’re passionate about people and wellbeing, and want an exciting, dynamic job, consider starting a fitness course now.

What do fitness graduates do?

What do fitness graduates do?

Fitness course graduates may work in a range of gym, fitness centre, recreation centre and sports club settings, and may also work independently as a contract trainer. As a fitness trainer, you’ll work closely with clients to design, develop and demonstrate exercise activities, and may perform tasks like:

Assessing a client’s individual fitness level, fitness goals and requirements, health risks and plans;
Researching and organising relevant activities, exercises and routines;
Developing exercise plans to achieve client’s goals;
Choosing exercise and training clients in order to achieve particular goals in resistance training, cardiovascular conditioning and flexibility;
Working closely with medical professionals, nutritionists and other key stakeholders to deliver safe fitness programs for high-risk clients;
Providing continuing support, coaching, mentoring and advice;
Providing ongoing advice and demonstration about exercise technique and equipment use; and
Recording, filing, managing and evaluation documentation relevant to client’s ongoing management.

You may also seek employment in a fitness centre or gym management role, and lead a team of other fitness professionals to deliver quality service. In a role like this, you may be additionally responsible for managing bookings and class scheduling, ensuring security, hygiene and relevant occupational health and safety standards are met, and managing customer service, complaints and enquiries.
