What's the difference between a fitness trainer and a personal trainer? I want to take part in personal trainer training. What qualifications should I have?
There are many kinds of personal trainers. At present, it generally refers to personal fitness instructors (and other sports). They are coaches who tailor the fitness plan for individuals and supervise and help them implement it effectively.

At present, fitness coaches are mainly divided into two categories. One is to directly enter the fitness club as a fitness coach after graduating from related majors; The other is to enter the field of fitness coaching by attending training courses and taking the qualification certificate of fitness coaching. These two types of people have their own advantages and disadvantages. Being a fitness instructor requires many related skills besides theoretical foundation. The coaches from regular classes have a solid theoretical foundation, but they also lack personality. However, due to the uneven quality of the current training courses, the variety of training courses for fitness instructors and the lack of uniform standards, the fitness instructors participating in the training courses may not be fundamentally guaranteed.

Personal trainer is mainly embodied in: 1) professional personal service (personalization). Generally speaking, a suitable exercise method may cause harm to another person. At this time, what you need most is a professional to stay by your side, fully understand your physical condition, make a complete exercise plan for you, and then teach you how to use various fitness equipment, practice with you and cheer you up. The editor thinks that the concept of personal trainer shows that the fitness market tends to be mature and subdivided, which is the performance of further promotion of the market. 2) Professional training plan. Personal trainer can make personalized training plan according to everyone's individual situation. They will be integrated into students' healthy life, give regular advice and encouragement, and let students enjoy the fun of sports and reap the fruits and services of sports. 3) Privacy means personal privacy. Women are most concerned about breasts and buttocks, while men are most worried about the loss of scenery and the decline of sexual ability. How can these personal problems be said casually? When people not only pay attention to losing weight and shaping, these privacy issues are also brought to the gym and quietly raised to the personal trainer. This is also the value of a professional personal trainer. Fitness coaches are mainly divided into three categories: (1) equipment coaches; (2) personal trainer; (3) group gymnastics class coach. (1) equipment coach. Mainly refers to equipment training and guidance. At present, full-time equipment coaches mainly do equipment maintenance and gym inspection in gymnasiums, with low technical content and low salary (about1000 ~1500 in Beijing market). (2) Personal trainer. Personal trainer is also called personal trainer. According to the needs of members, private education meets the needs of members one-on-one through equipment training and nutritional supplement. Generally speaking, members provide them with professional fitness plans and programs in order to achieve a certain fitness purpose. Personal trainers are employed by one or more gyms to promote their personal training courses in gyms, and the income is divided into the club according to the agreed proportion. It is understood that the personal trainer who has just come out now needs to do equipment maintenance and inspection work in the gym for three to six months. After that, I need to work and sell club-related nutrients to get some income (it is said that some clubs are responsible for the sales system of private education). The salary is almost 200~300 per class, and of course it is high. (3) group gymnastics class coach. Group calisthenics coaches, also known as aerobics coaches, mainly take members to carry out various types of calisthenics in the gym. There are many classifications of group calisthenics, such as yoga, Latin, boxing, comprehensive calisthenics and rotation. Compared with work, it is more relaxed and free, and at the same time, it can exercise, reduce fat and shape. Therefore, aerobics class has become a kind of fitness exercise that many young people like, and this kind of coach has also become a profession and post that many people love. The salary will be limited according to the level of the coach, the type of teaching and the local economic level (about every class in Beijing 100). The equipment fitness instructor only needs to master the basic equipment by himself, and does not need to explain the technical content. Private teachers and class teachers need to learn and train through professional institutions, master professional technical level and theoretical basis, and get some internship opportunities. Finally, you need to obtain the qualification certificate of fitness instructor in related projects. A good certificate is a good stepping stone! In fact, many certificates are similar, the key is to see the holder's own ability!
