Crunching numbers (and abs)
Let’s examine your job prospect in clear, black and white numbers. According to figures released by IBISWorld, the Australian health and fitness industry is worth a cool AU$1 billion a year, and has grown 3.5 per cent in the five years between 2011 and 2016. The industry is projected to grow to be worth around $1.4 billion over the next five years, and over 20,000 people are employed in the sector – again, a number that is only expected to rise!
Personal trainers are in hot demand to help whip Australia back into shape.Australian fitness needs your help!
Those numbers are healthy enough, but the majority of Australians aren’t. The Australian Institute of Health & Welfare has found that nearly two adults in three (63 per cent) are either overweight or obese and, in these health-conscious times, that’s a number that everyone will want to see fall. To back this up, The Australian Business Review (ABR) states the land Down Under is the fifth most obese in the world. Who can help reverse this alarming trend? Personal trainers, health workers and fitness instructors, of course – over 3.3 million Aussies use a professional fitness service each year, according to the ABR – and you could play a big part in getting Australia fighting fit and healthy!
