It’s fair to say that you live for fitness! You’re a near-permanent fixture in your local gym. You’ve dedicated years of your life to achieving your health and fitness goals. With the help of the instructors at your gym and your own personal research, reading and experimentation, you’ve slowly but surely sculpted yourself into the person you want to be physically, psychologically and intellectually. Through your fitness you’ve grown enormously as a person. It’s been the greatest gift you could have given yourself. It’s therefore only natural that you would want to give that same gift to others in your life.
You’re always found sharing fitness and nutrition tips with friends and family members, or exchanging routines with others at the gym or even engaging with the wider fitness community online. But what if you could make money from sharing your knowledge and passion with others? What if you could get paid (and well paid) to help people from all walks of life to be the best that they can be?
Is that a pipe dream? Or is it a possibility? At The College Of Health And Fitness, we’ve made it our mission to help fitness enthusiasts become fitness professionals.
