What does a fitness trainer have to do?

The range of tasks for a fitness trainer are diverse and vary depending on the work environment and position - whether you are employed by a company or are self-employed.

In any case, fitness remains the main focus. As an employee in a fitness studio you might also need to take on administrative or sales tasks or the acquisition of new club memberships.

As a personal trainer you will assess the fitness level of your clients, create goals, write training plans for them andexplain and coach various strength and endurance exercises and equipment. Alongside these tasks, you are responsible for motivating them along their way, and you are there to make sure they reach their goals.

If you go the path of the group fitness instructor you will lead group fitness courses, which vary greatly today and could include for example Pilates, Yoga or Aerobic. In this case, it is a great idea to also include a specific education for each type of practice.

Where can a fitness trainer work?

Fitness trainers often work in fitness studios or gyms as regular part- or full-time employees or as freelance instructors. Some other great options where fitness trainers can add to the services offered are wellness establishments such as hotels or health centers, or sports clubs.

In addition to renting private spaces, one can also consider outdoor training or home visits. In many fitness studios, there is the option to trade your services for rental space or fees.

Having one's own fitness studio has become quite the challenge due to such strong competition. For this reason, many trainers prefer to seek out options within corporate wellness programs or fitness development, where they can, for example, assist with and consult for the creation of fitness studios and spaces or sports halls or centers.

What do fitness trainers earn?

As a fitness trainer employed by a studio or gym one can estimate a starting salary of between €18.600 and €21.900 yearly. With a few years experience, your salary could increase to around €23.200 to €25.000 yearly.
