We all know the importance of staying active, and the impact that exercise has on both our physical and psychological wellbeing.
It seems like now is a better time than ever to enter the world of health and fitness, given the rise of the wearable devices and the desire that we all have to track anything and everything – sleep, steps, calories, heart rate, miles, kms… you name it, we do it.
Fitness has always been a priority of mine, as it was instilled in me from a young age by my parents. Attending tennis lessons from age 4 and badminton slightly later, I understood the significance of that healthy routine that we all crave. 1 hour’s fitness, 2 hour’s tennis, dinner and then bed, 5 days a week. It was my life.
Due to the commitment, the relentless graft and the sacrifices that I made, I went on to represent Cheshire at a national level in tennis and West Cheshire at a County level at badminton and table tennis.
Having worked in internal recruitment for the last decade for brands like Manchester United and competed in high level sports for most of my life, it’s my job to keep you up to date with health and fitness opportunities, and put some interesting opportunities in front of you, that could hopefully kickstart your journey into a healthier and happier life.
As someone who connects people with their dream jobs on a daily basis, over and over again, I can tell you this – ‘Purpose is powerful’.
I’ve interviewed thousands of candidates over the last 10 years and when they talk about what’s really important to them in work, more and more of them say they’re seeking meaning, work that makes a difference. A rewarding nature to the work that they do and the ability to be able to show up to work and help curate positive, impactful, transformative change. That’s what gets them out of bed in the morning.
Health and fitness careers deliver that in abundance.
And the best part? You don’t need to have started as a personal trainer or an athlete.
Many of the professionals I’ve placed in this sector came from hospitality, education, marketing and sales.
However, they all shared one thing…
A passion for people and performance and a willingness to invest in self-development, continuous improvement and to keep on learning.
The health and fitness industry isn’t just about workouts and wellness anymore. It’s an expanding ecosystem of opportunity, driven by innovation, inclusivity, and a growing awareness of the importance of healthy living.
Over the coming months, I’ll be sharing insights into monthly opportunities within the health & fitness industry, how to stand out in the working world, how best to prepare your CV & profile to land your next position, and much more…
The fitness industry needs leaders, innovators, and everyday champions who can bring fresh ideas and energy.
If you’re curious about making the jump into this rewarding field, it doesn’t matter whether you’re a career changer, a recent graduate, or someone already in the sector looking to progress, this space is for you.
In the next issue… I’ll be talking about the main ways to progress within your career and different things that you can do to stand out, to ensure that your CV is noticed by the right people.
