On a daily basis you might be:

• setting short-term and long-term goals and planning programmes to reach them
• educating, motivating and coaching clients to help them follow their programmes safely and effectively
• giving advice on health, nutrition and lifestyle changes
• helping clients with their workouts
• checking and recording clients' progress, using methods like measuring heart rate and levels of body fat

You could work at a fitness centre or at a client's home.

Your working environment may be outdoors some of the time.

You could take further instructor courses to learn new skills to offer clients, like yoga, pilates, nutrition or aerobics.

With further training, you could also work with people recovering from illness or who have medical conditions.
