Research Fitness trainer as a career
Objective for today
• You will learn about being a Fitness Trainer
and how it relates to the medical field.
• I EXPECT you to take note of what a fitness
trainer does, how much they make, where
they can work, how long they go to school,
and what is their job outlook.
What is a fitness trainer
• Fitness trainers teach important fitness and
exercise fundamentals to individual clients or
to groups in organized classes. Trainers often
find work in fitness centers, country clubs,
universities and resorts.
A personal fitness trainer is a mentor and
motivator who guides people one on one
through workout routines consistent with the
client’s goals.
Personal trainer is synonymous with personal
fitness trainer, fitness trainer, physical trainer,
Certified Personal Trainer and CPT.
First
• A personal training program begins with a
consultation. This consultation will include a
“My Plate Analysis” and a BMI(Body Mass
Index) Calculation.
• Lets look at both of these now.
Body Mass Index Calculator
• Body Mass Index, or BMI, is a measure of your
weight compared to your height. BMI can help
adults determine whether they are at a
healthy weight. Overweight or obese
individuals are at increased risk for many
diseases, such as: heart disease, high blood
pressure, high cholesterol, type-2 diabetes,
and some types of cancer.
BMI
• The BMI calculator can help you determine if
you are a healthy weight. BMI calculations
don’t work as well for all people including
those who are extremely muscular, very tall,
or very short. Enter your height and weight to
calculate your BMI.
How to Calculate BMI
• BMI = Weight (lb) / (Height (in) x Height (in))
x 703
• Example: Someone who is 5'6" (5'6" = 66")
and weights 160 lb has a BMI of
• BMI Calculation = 160 / (66 x 66) x 703 = 25.8
= This person is in the Overweight category.
What are the Categories of BMI
Find the BMI
• Pt is 5’0 and 145 pounds
• Pt is 5’2 and 180 pounds
• Pt is 6’3 and 195 pounds
• Pt is 5’7 female and weighs 325 pounds
My Plate Dietary Guidelines
My Plate
•
• MyPlate is part of a larger communications
initiative based on 2010 Dietary Guidelines for
Americans to help consumers make better food
choices.
• MyPlate is designed to remind Americans to eat
healthfully; it is not intended to change consumer
behavior alone.
• MyPlate illustrates the five food groups using a
familiar mealtime visual, a place setting.
MP
• Make half your plate fruits and vegetables.
• Eat red, orange, and dark-green vegetables,
such as tomatoes, sweet potatoes, and
broccoli, in main and side dishes.
• Eat fruit, vegetables, or unsalted nuts as
snacks—they are nature’s original fast foods.
Switch to Skim or 1% Milk
They have the same amount of calcium and
other essential nutrients as whole milk, but
less fat and calories.
• Try calcium-fortified soy products as an
alternative to dairy foods.
Make at least half your grains whole.
• Choose 100% whole-grain cereals, breads,
crackers, rice, and pasta.
• Check the ingredients list on food packages to
find whole-grain foods
Vary your protein food choices.
• Twice a week, make seafood the protein on
your plate.
• Eat beans, which are a natural source of fiber
and protein.
• Keep meat and poultry portions small and
lean
Foods to cut back on
• Many people eat foods with too much solid
fats, added sugars, and salt (sodium). Added
sugars and fats load foods with extra calories
you don’t need. Too much sodium may
increase your blood pressure.
Choose foods and drinks with little or
no added sugars.
• Drink water instead of sugary drinks. There are
about 10 packets of sugar in a 12-ounce can of
soda.
• Select fruit for dessert. Eat sugary desserts
less often.
• Choose 100% fruit juice instead of fruitflavored drinks.
Look out for salt (sodium) in foods
you buy—� it all adds up.
• Compare sodium in foods like soup, bread,
and frozen meals—and choose the foods with
lower numbers.
• Add spices or herbs to season food without�
adding salt.�
Eat fewer foods that are high in solid
fats.
• Make major sources of saturated fats—such as
cakes, cookies, ice cream, pizza, cheese,
sausages, and hot dogs—occasional choices,
not everyday foods.
• Select lean cuts of meats or poultry and fatfree or low-fat milk, yogurt, and cheese.
• Switch from solid fats to oils when preparing
food.*

jumping, running and every exercise you can

Education
• Most employers will hire only certified fitness
trainers. Those who receive certification from
one of the top certification agencies have a
better chance of becoming employed.
Certification must be renewed every two
years. Renewal requires that one take
continuing education classes or attend
conferences, write articles or make
presentations.
Advancement
• To advance to a management position in a
health or fitness club, in addition to
experience, one must usually have a
bachelor's degree in exercise science, physical
education, kinesiology or a related area.
Job Outlook
• The job outlook for fitness trainers is
excellent. This occupation is projected to grow
faster, through 2018, than other occupations
that require post-secondary training or an
associate degree
