I read a lot of comments about fitness instructors on the Internet these two days, and I wrote a post myself. Through communicating with you, I feel that I have made a lot of progress. Perhaps, only in this way can I communicate effectively with all people who love fitness more openly. At present, there may be many friends who want to join the fitness team, and there may also be many friends who are still depressed and wandering: how long can a fitness instructor work? How long is the golden age of fitness instructors? Through my observation and analysis, I have come to some conclusions, hoping that experts can give me some advice.

First of all, is fitness instructor a youth occupation? Is it true that after the age of 30, the career of fitness instructor will definitely decline? Many people have different views on this issue, each with its own reasons. Some friends think that the age of 24-30 is the golden age for fitness coaches, while others think that they can continue to be coaches at the age of 50 in the United States. Of course, China is not the United States. The national conditions of the two countries are different, and the development degree of the fitness industry is also different. But the author's point of view is that fitness coaching is a career that can be developed for life, provided that your love and transformation of fitness industry can be successful. In the fitness industry, youth and vitality are indispensable conditions, but experience is more important. In America, many bodybuilding champions don't teach in health clubs. Why? Some magazines think that in America, even if you are a champion, others may not buy your account. However, the author believes that in the United States, where professionalism prevails, the life of champions will be simplified, that is, the competition will be the purpose of their work, and the prize money of the competition and the remuneration of various touring performances will be the backing of their training. Therefore, these champions or athletes, known as top professional players, don't need to go to the gym to work. Even if they don't rely on competitions, their contracts with major nutrition brands and the endorsement fees of various brands' gyms will be enough for their expenses (Arnold's traditional competition prize in 2003: 400,000 US dollars, thus the pyramid of American fitness industry has been formed: professional players are naturally on this spire, and the income of other entrants will naturally not be as happy as professional players. In China, this is the problem: top bodybuilders don't get bonuses by competitions. They can't afford to be spokespersons and can only work in gyms. I never believed that a person ranked in the national competition would be deprived of food by a young man with a fitness instructor's certificate. Based on experience alone, I believe that what a national champion bought with practice and time is the most precious. Some friends say that there are many foreign coaches who make a living from this, but we have to admit that 1 years ago, an American movie star played a potbellied boss in the movie. A year later, he can suddenly appear in front of the audience as a tough guy. Apart from the personal efforts of the stars, I believe that the guidance of experts is also indispensable, which is perhaps the biggest difference between China fitness coaches and foreign fitness coaches. And what conditions does an excellent fitness instructor need? It can be summarized as: 1 rich in theoretical knowledge; 2 personal fitness experiences; 3 the attitude of being a teacher. The three are indispensable, and it is difficult to obtain theoretical knowledge and fitness experience without long-term intervention. The attitude of being a teacher is the ideology of a successful athlete transforming into a coach. Many excellent athletes can't be coaches after retirement because they usually don't pay attention to the results of observation and summary, and many excellent athletes have never thought about transforming into coaches. Therefore, it can be seen that long-term accumulation is the paving stone for truly excellent coaches. In the bodybuilding circle, many athletes can still win the championship at the age of 50, so I have reason to believe him: his training theory and experience can help a bodybuilder grow more effectively than other young coaches. Many of our friends often have a prejudice when watching women's bodybuilding competitions: look at the faces of female athletes first. This may be related to our cultural accumulation, but the author thinks that an excellent female bodybuilder is a master of art, and only looking at her face is an incomplete observation method. Ulanova, a Russian ballet master, is 80 years old and can still show the graceful posture of swans on the stage. Besides technical problems, her artistic accomplishment and temperament are indispensable conditions. If each of us watches the bodybuilding performance from the perspective of appreciation, we can have a deeper understanding of the sport, and our bodybuilding enthusiasts can be on an equal footing with those who appreciate ballet, because we are a social group that understands art. Believe me, female athletes can go far on the road of fitness coaching, not only because we need this profession, but also because we love it. There is no essential difference between enjoying bodybuilding and enjoying opera. Athletes can carry bodybuilding to the end because of their love! Of course, if he is a bodybuilder, I advise him to find an opportunity to change careers as soon as possible: to be a teacher from ancient times to the present, to be an idiot and lay down his life for Tao. Throughout the ages, countless idiots have created artistic brilliance: Van Gogh, Cezanne, Beethoven, Mi Fei, Zheng Banqiao and Xu Wei. . .

If you love fitness and are interested in it, find yourself a good starting point. Everyone's living environment is different. Maybe fitness coaching is not a career for you, but I have reason to believe that fitness is as valuable as getting old. Personally, sometimes the argument is more extreme, or the old saying goes: meet the brick. After all, arguing is a step in civilization.

The views of the above friends are very insightful. Seeing this article, I feel that I have found a bosom friend. Now I have been in contact with the fitness industry for so many years, and this is the first time I have seen such an article. For how long the fitness instructor can watch, I also add my own ideas for your reference.

There is another problem that people often talk about but don't pay attention to-the population structure of China is aging now. In other words, the proportion of the elderly population in China will be higher and higher in the future. With the continuous development of China's economy, this can solve the welfare problem of some elderly people to a great extent. However, in China, a populous country, people's average life expectancy is constantly improving, and now the economy has just developed. How does China solve the increasingly serious problem of population aging? Is it difficult to support the whole society by those young people working hard?

These obviously can't be completely realistic. Society is changing, and people's thinking is also changing. Change is meaningful. As the population ages, the occupational life expectancy will also increase. Older people will also find jobs that suit them. Fitness instructors are no exception. When the economy develops to a certain extent, it is no longer just a primary stage for young people. Those coaches who have rich experience in teaching fitness coaches will be liked by more people. The number of elderly people watching fitness will also increase, and older fitness instructors have a sense of intimacy with them-they can understand them and suit them.

Finally, talk about the changes of fitness instructors with age. Now with the growth of age, some fitness instructors are not very suitable for them, so some fitness instructors should consider transformation. According to my understanding of fitness coaches and the prospect of the development of fitness industry, there are the following ways:

1. Invest or cooperate to set up a fitness club. After having some teaching experience and understanding the operation mode of the fitness industry, I will consider starting my own fitness club to make a profit.

Second, transfer to the head of the coaching department. At present, there are a large number of fitness coaches in large fitness clubs, which is also a difficult problem in management and curriculum arrangement. This requires a coach supervisor who has experience in teaching fitness coaches, understands the needs of members and has experience in club operation and management to manage fitness coaches, arrange the most suitable courses for fitness members, and let him master many fitness skills. Fitness instructors with many years of teaching experience and certain management ability have become the club's first choice. At present, the annual salary of fitness instructors in Beijing ranges from 1 10,000 to 300,000. I believe it will be higher than it is now.

Third, from fitness coach to coach training instructor. The continuous development of the fitness industry will inevitably produce a large number of coaches, and a large number of fitness instructor training institutions will also be born. The demand for trainers of fitness coaches will continue to increase. Fitness instructors with formal training, good fitness foundation and many years of teaching experience are favored by training institutions, and experienced fitness instructors will certainly become the first choice for training institutions.

Fourth, change careers and specialize in coaching. After having some teaching experience as a fitness coach, coaches who have mastered many fitness programs at the same time began to seek fitness programs suitable for their long-term development and turned into master coaches as special projects for their career development. With the growth of fitness instructors' age, some sports are no longer suitable, such as spinning, which is too exhausting and not suitable for this group. Those projects with slow movements and low physical consumption, such as yoga and pilates, have become the inevitable choice of this group of coaches.

Therefore, there is reason to believe that fitness instructors will not be an industry that only eats youth meals.
