Start a new career in fitness
There’s never been a better time to start a new and exciting career in the fitness industry.
The Singapore fitness industry is experiencing significant growth in the post-COVID era, with some gyms and fitness centres experiencing better business results and growth than they did prior to the pandemic. Plus, new and emerging global franchises are now establishing locations in Singapore, including BFT, UBX, Snap Fitness and others.
A recent study by Virgin Active, found that “84% of Singaporeans now exercise at least once a week, with more than a third exercising at least four times a week.” With an increase in understanding about the benefits of health and wellness, the Singapore government is investing more than ever before, which means there is a huge demand for new trainers.
According to the recruitment platform JobStreet, as of February 2023, there were around 9,500 Personal Trainer job opportunities in Singapore (112% up from last year), with the average hourly wage around $50 SGD and some trainers earning up to $150 SGD per hour.
The first step to becoming a Personal Trainer is educating yourself and getting the required practical experience. Studying the Certified Personal Trainer course with the Australian Fitness Academy (AFA) Asia will equip you with all the knowledge you need, including screening and assessing your clients, the principles of nutrition and functional anatomy, right through to exercise programming and advanced training methods.
