Love fitness but not quite sure what you could actually do with it as a career? When people think about jobs in the fitness industry, Personal Trainer is usually the first role that springs to mind. But the fitness industry is much bigger than personal training. You could work on a gym floor, coach athletes, […]

You’ve qualified as a Personal Trainer. You’ve got the certificate. You’ve bought a few new T-shirts. You might even have created an Instagram account and spent an unreasonable amount of time deciding which photo should be your profile picture. There’s just one small problem.
