Is your Personal Trainer Resume ready?
If you're interested in employment at a health club or Personal Training studio, you'll need a high quality Personal Trainer resume and cover letter to get you in the door.
As a former fitness manager, I've sorted through hundreds of resumes....the good, the bad, and the ugly.
I've also conducted hundreds of personal trainer interviews - more than I'd like to remember.
As important as the interview is, your resume creates the first impression of your potential as a Personal Trainer.
Don't let the knowledge you've gained in a certification class, in school, or in life go to waste by sending out an unremarkable resume.
The Content of Your Resume...
The content of your document will differ slightly depending upon your level of experience in the field.
We want to be sure to highlight your strongest points. Here's an introduction to the main sections:
- Professional Experience
- Achievements
- Responsibilities
- Education
- Certifications
- Conferences/Seminars/Workshops Attended
- Additional Skills
Professional Experience - In this section you'll want to focus on your previous efforts in the fitness industry. If you have none, use your most customer-service oriented positions.
Achievements - Similar to your Professional Experience, if you've received accolades within the fitness industry, then be specific. If your achievements are from an outside industry or if they are academic, you may list these as an alternative.
Responsibilities - Give the details of your job requirements. Be specific and be honest.
Education - Detail your highest level of education along with the institution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to list coursework relevant to the position you are seeking.
Certifications - The Personal Training certifications we've listed in this guide are the most highly sought after worldwide. Your listing should include those current and those in progress.
Continuing Education - Each year, while I'm working on my Personal Training Business Plan, I also select dates that I'd like to attend conferences, seminars, and workshops. The information and hands-on experience you gain here is invaluable.
Additional Skills - Computer, Customer Service, Presentation, etc.

...To Your Future Success...
Thank you for visiting My-Personal-Trainer-School.com. As a health professional for much of the last decade, I understand the ups and downs of the fitness industry and the successes and frustrations that many of you have.
It's been a wonderful ride and if I could do it all over again, I would -- but with one definite change. I would have started my personal training website much earlier on in my career.
Having a presence on the web has opened my eyes to forms of monetization that I never would have realized, opportunites for joint ventures with health and business professionals around the world, and taken my overall fitness business to new levels of success.
