Even in a challenging economy, fitness-related jobs have continued to grow faster than the average. Most fitness careers, however, require a certification; NESTA’s online Personal Fitness Trainer Certification offers affordable, flexible training and accreditation in the fitness industry.

 

Rancho Santa Margarita, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/08/2013 -- While many job categories continue to struggle, fitness jobs are expected to grow almost 25 percent from 2010 to 2020, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Occupational Outlook Handbook, making them a lucrative option even in a challenging economy. Earning a certification is an essential first step towards finding a great fitness job, and the National Exercise & Sports Trainers Association (NESTA) makes it easier than ever to get the necessary training through its online certification program.

The NESTA Personal Fitness Trainer certification, which combines personal training principles and business strategies for success, costs about 30 percent less on average than other certifications and lasts for four years, rather than just two.
