Personal trainer life coaches work with clients either in a gym or in the client's home. They help clients assess their level of physical fitness and set and reach fitness goals. Baby boomers are concerned with staying healthy, physically fit, and independent. Moreover, the reduction of physical education programs in schools, combined with parents' growing concern about childhood obesity has resulted in rapid increases in children's health club membership. Young adults membership has also grown steadily, driven by concern with physical fitness and by rising incomes. Employment of fitness workers is expected to increase 27 percent over the 2006-2016 decade, much faster than the average for all occupations. These workers are expected to gain jobs because an increasing number of people are spending time and money on fitness, and more businesses are recognizing the benefits of health and fitness programs for their employees.
