cruise ships, client’s homes, nursing homes, etc. According to the Bureau of
Labor, “Employment of tness instructors is projected to grow 10% from 2016

recognize the benets of health and tness programs for their employees,
incentives to join gyms or other types of health clubs are expected to
increase the need for tness trainers and instructors.”
