The fitness industry is a dynamic industry! Employment opportunities are many and varied, including private gymnasiums, personal training studios, outdoor training businesses, franchises, local government leisure centre’s, corporate fitness facilities, community health centre’s, hotels, resorts and more….

Continued growth of the fitness industry ensures employment opportunities will continue to grow. Currently, there is very strong demand for personal trainers, locally, nationally and internationally. If you’re thinking of undertaking a fitness course, and commencing a new and rewarding career there has never been a better time to do so.

Current research is demonstrating the need for individual and group based exercise programs for the elderly, those with diabetes, heart conditions and obesity. Governments are acting on this need by funding more and more programs nationally.

AFA has a strong referral network through all of these avenues.  We will continue to support and direct you towards employment opportunities upon completion of your course.

"As the owner of a personal training studio, I know how difficult it can be to find quality staff. I look for two things when employing new trainers. first is skills and knowledge, and second is attitude. First of all the trainer must hold the relevant qualifications. I know that the AFA graduates possess the skills and knowledge that makes them fit for the job. Because of their high standards, I can confidently interview an AFA graduate and focus on the second part of the interview: finding the right personality."
Jai, Director – Unlimited Personal Training, CANTERBURY

"Over the past years we have employed many graduates of the AFA and have been impressed with their knowledge and enthusiam"
