Fitness

If you are a fitness buff, but you’ve always done it is strictly for personal reasons, you may be able start making some money at it. Perhaps the best way is to become a personal trainer. Gym’s all across the country have personal trainers, and since turnover is high, they’re usually looking for a few more.


Physical fitness is a general state of health and well-being and, more specifically, the ability to perform aspects of sports or occupations. Physical fitness is generally achieved through correct nutrition, moderate-vigorous physical activity, exercise and rest.

Before the industrial revolution, fitness was the capacity to carry out the day’s activities without undue fatigue. However, with automation and changes

in lifestyles physical fitness is now considered a measure of the body's ability to function efficiently and effectively in work and leisure activities, to be healthy, to resist hypokinetic diseases, and to meet emergency situations.


You probably have to get certified as a personal trainer, and may even need to get a CPR certification. The regulations vary between the states, and in some states the requirements are particularly light. You can start out as a trainer in a gym, but as you get better known, you may be up to take on better paying personal clients.

And of course there’s Crossfit which I absolutely love.  Crossfit was relatively unknown in 2005 when I started it but now “boxes” (the equivalent of a gym) are popping up everywhere.  Even in my area there are now 6 Crossfit boxes that I could attend.
