Our founder, Chad Benson, boasts 25 years of fitness and performance experience. Check out Chad’s tips below for achieving your fitness career goals:
Industry-Relevant Skills: As a personal trainer, it is crucial to possess skills that set you apart from the rest. Your ability to showcase your unique skills in effectively serving clients can significantly impact your success in the fitness industry. The MovAcademy by PTA offers continuing education opportunities, and as a graduate, you can enjoy discounted rates through Club16 She’s FIT!! If you want to stay on trend in 2024, consider professional development in these areas:
Purposeful Practice: With the guidance of experienced and respected Club16 & She’s FIT! professionals, you can gain the confidence, ask questions, and purposefully grow into a complete fitness expert. Working under the tutelage of a supportive community can help you hone your skills and prepare for a successful career.
Service and Communication: Effective communication and engagement are crucial to your success as a personal trainer. Post-secondary institutions rarely prepare students for the art of engaging and motivating clients. Therefore, it is essential to develop these skills through practice and mentorship.
Opportunities for Growth and Learning: Professional development is an essential aspect of any career, and the fitness industry is no exception. An onboarding process and an organization that supports your growth can help you evolve your skills, increase career longevity, and maintain a competitive edge.
Amazing Teammates: Networking with experienced peers can be an invaluable learning opportunity for new trainers. Building relationships with other professionals in the industry can help you stay up-to-date on the latest trends, techniques, and technologies.
By incorporating these elements into your practice, you can unlock the door to success as a personal trainer and take your career to new heights.
