Health Club Owners and Managers

The U.S. Department of Labor predicts that employment for fitness trainers and instructors will grow by 13 percent through 2028, or much faster than the average for all careers. Employment for health club owners and managers should also be good, although fewer positions are available for managers and owners than there are for trainers and instructors. There were a total of 60.9 health club memberships in the United States in 2019, according to the International Health, Racquet, and Sportsclub Association, up from 50.2 million memberships in 2010. Because a growing number of people realize the importance of daily exercise for their general health and well-being, health clubs should continue to enjoy growth and popularity in the coming years. As the number of health clubs increases, so too will the demand for qualified individuals able to run them.
