Health Club Owners and Managers

Advancement Prospects

Experience and certification are the best ways for someone to advance in a fitness career. Years of successful, on-the-job experience count for a great deal in this industry. Health club owners look for managers who have demonstrated the ability to run a club smoothly. Certification is another way in which success can be gauged. Since certification goes hand-in-hand with experience, it is assumed that those individuals who are certified are the best in their field.

Outside of experience and certification, a willingness and eagerness to learn and branch into new areas is another important factor affecting advancement. Those who are willing to embrace new technology and are open to new ideas and methods for improving the operation of their clubs will likely advance in their careers.

Health club managers who have strong business sense and financial backing may advance further by deciding to own their own clubs.
