Problems With The Fitness Industry. A Post By Pat Rigsby.

 

bandaid Whats the problem with the Fitness Industry?

 

The fitness industry is broken.
Plain and simple.

Only about 16% of people belong to a fitness facility or program in the U.S.

Of the ones that belong to health clubs, only about 30% are active users.

The average personal trainer makes under $30,000 per year in the fitness industry.

Most people who enter the personal training profession depart soon after to get a ‘real job.’

I’ve got my own opinions on why things are the way they are – opinions about the consumers, the commercial clubs and the personal trainers.

I suspect you do too.
I’ll share mine soon enough – but tell me yours first.

I want to know where you think the fitness industry has gone wrong and what exactly the problem is.

Tell me below.

 

Dedicated to your success,

    Donna – Interesting take on Certifications. I’m not sure I agree – but I’m not sure I don’t.

    I don’t know that ‘too many’ is the problem as most leave the field quickly. Maybe, but I doubt it.

    I touch on the career path of trainers (or lack of one) in my post. Please comment after reading that as I’d like to see your thoughts.
