Beginners are often interested - who is better at coaching - Men or women. Everyone has become accustomed to the fact that group lessons of aerobics, oriental dances, yoga, pilates, calanetics are conducted by a woman, but in gyms, instructors are usually men. Statistics show that recently more and more women are appearing among the best specialists in the field of fitness.
By professional qualities they are not inferiormen, and in the simulator can also work, the only "but" here - you need to hedge very heavy goods, and physically it's better to cope with a man. With a female trainer in group classes, women (and they are the main part of the students) are easier to share their problems, but the male instructor will cause among them a real furor and increased activity in training. But regardless of gender, the coach must be a professional in his field.
Whether you are a woman or a man, heavy physical activity you can not avoid. Your entire shift is on your feet. Hardly it will be possible to sit quietly to have a drink of tea or to leave for a dinner, as do representatives of other trades. Every minute is written for you. One lesson has ended - another begins at once. Instructors of group programs all the time in motion, jump, dance, and so every day. Many can not stand such a rhythm.

Starting as an instructor, you have a great prospect of career growth. The next step after the instructor is the personal trainer, then the unit manager, the fitness manager, the club manager, and finally the network owner. But this is only on condition of long years of irreproachable work and many more factors.
100% plus the work of the coach is an opportunity to see the results of your efforts - when people become healthy, joyful andbeautiful. Also, thanks to the training you can constantly maintain and your own sports form. A good specialist gradually develops his customers. And if the coach for some reason goes to another club, 80% of people who are constantly engaged with him, can follow him. In this case, the club receives good dividends in the face of new visitors, and the instructor has the right to demand an increase in the interest rate.
