Below are just a few ideas of what you could go into if fitness is one of your interests.

Physical Therapists

One career choice people forget about that could be related to fitness would be becoming a physical therapist. Physical therapists are the people that help rehabilitate all kinds of people. They treat people with different types of body injuries. Any injury from a fall, recovering from surgery, an athlete is recovering from a sports injury, individuals with back pain, or any other kind of pain. A physical therapist is there to help all of these people get back to their normal routines. Aiding in your recovery through stretching, strengthening, and using your body to rebuild its range of motion and use of your body. If you decide to become a physical therapist, you can specialize in different areas. Such as if you want to only work with athletes and get them back to playing their sport.

Personal Trainer

If fitness is a true passion of yours, you may want to help others implement fitness into their lives. Helping others to see and feel the benefits of fitness can be very rewarding. This would include reviewing clients’ goals, and progress throughout their journey, and motivating them to continue. Depending on how involved you want to be you could be a one-on-one personal trainer that guides your client through the workout. You could be more of a hands-off personal trainer that creates a workout plan for your client to follow. No matter what kind of personal trainer you decide to be, your job is to follow up with your clients and help them reach their goals.

Or you can learn one more sport and become a coach. Since you already have a perfect physical background, you will quickly complete the sport’s requirements and be ready to train people. Archery is a good idea because it has many types of certificates with different levels of difficulty so you can choose the one that is right for you. In addition, it also does not require expensive equipment to practice. All you need is a bow, arrows, and a 3D target.

Dietician

Another important aspect of fitness is getting proper nutrition. This is especially important for those that compete in different kinds of competitions such as bodybuilding or powerlifting. They need to be sure what they are eating will give their body the fuel that it needs.
Macro nutrition plays a huge role in what you should be consuming and the number of calories that you are consuming. Fats, carbohydrates, and protein are what makeup everything you eat, but depending on your goals you will want to consume a certain amount of each. Counting macros and calories can make all the difference in fitness goals. Becoming a dietician can allow you to work directly with those that are reaching their goals in fitness.
