What is Personal Training? Personal Trainers are experts with an understanding of human anatomy and fitness programming. They are certified by national organizations and equipped to design and deliver personalized exercise programs tailored to the client’s unique health, fitness and goals. These training sessions can be conducted individually or in small groups in person or through virtual platforms. Why Study Personal Training? According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of fitness trainers and instructors is projected to grow 19 percent from 2021 to 2031, much faster than the average for all occupations. An estimated 65,500 positions for fitness trainers and instructors are foreseen to become available annually throughout the decade. Choosing a path as a personal trainer can lead to a full-time profession or a supplementary part-time occupation. Moreover, the sense of fulfillment that comes from assisting individuals in improving their physical well-being and reaching their fitness aspirations is deeply rewarding. A note on pathways: A pathway is an advising guide to help students prepare for their intended bachelor's degree major. By following the course of study outlined in the appropriate Associate of Arts or Associate of Science pathway, students will have the necessary prerequisite courses to continue in their chosen disciplines. A pathway is not a major and will not be represented on the diploma.
