Graeme KettlebellsPersonal trainers are there not only to earn but to motivate people whilst teaching them cardiovascular, strength training and stretching exercises. Typically they will work with people of all ages and skills who have different goals that they want to achieve.

In order for you to become a personal trainer you have to have many different skills for example you can’t just be physically fit, you must be able to motivate others to take care of their bodies and you have to be polite and friendly for you to encourage and maintain client relationships. You will also need to be a good listener and problem solver so that you can figure out your clients’ current fitness levels and their future fitness goals.

Apart from having different people skills and being physically fit you will need to have various personal trainer qualifications for you to be recognised as a professional personal trainer.
