Starting a Personal Training Career Abroad

Even the most dedicated athletes can find themselves with a lack of motivation, when it comes to training on holiday. The change in routine, coupled with being on holiday, can lead to a dip in training for most people, even with the best intentions. By setting up your own training camp abroad, in popular tourist locations, you can provide people with the opportunity to keep focus on their fitness, nutrition and wellbeing while away from home. With your own training camp you can also offer dedicated fitness retreats, a holiday option that is becoming increasingly popular. Getting ahead of the competition in this way, provides personal trainers with a lot of different opportunities and career growth.

If you want to tap into the tourist industry but are unsure about starting your own business abroad, then working in a hotel is another great way to start a career as a personal trainer abroad. The majority of high class hotels are looking to offer personal trainers alongside their gym facilities as an added incentive for customers to book with them. In addition to this, hotels in high tourist areas are often looking for english speaking trainers, so their patrons can be sure that there is someone on hand who fully understands their fitness needs.

If you’re looking to travel around, rather than simply staying in one place, then cruise ships are probably the best employment option for you. All cruise ships now have multiple gyms on board, complete with personal training facilities. As mentioned above, people like to keep up with their fitness goals while on holiday, but often need someone to help them focus on their training, creating lots of opportunity for you to work with various clients. Deciding to work on cruise ships allows you to build up your personal training career in one place, while still travelling the world.
