When people think of careers in the health and fitness field, personal trainer jobs are one of the first ones to spring to mind. An area that has grown dramatically of late, this means that there have never been as many personal trainer jobs available across the UK. The range of settings in which you can work as a personal trainer are huge - you aren't just limited to working in a gym or a client's home. You could work on a cruise ship, at a spa or resort, or in a corporate environment. However, most people work for a club, either as an employee or as an independent contractor. When you're just getting started, working for a club will allow you to gain experience without the hassles of running your own business.
Searching for a job is easy. The professional body - the NRPT - has a job search, in which you can find openings across the UK and in major cities like London, Edinburgh, Manchester and Birmingham, with a range of different companies. From Holmes Place and Fitness First through to independent gyms and civic leisure facilities, the job listings are updated frequently and change almost on a daily basis. The NRPT also offers various careers and vacancies for personal training roles, so you can search by position, region and even country, should you have a hankering to travel.
