6 WORKING FOR A FITTER, HEALTHIER AUSTRALIA. IT FEELS GOOD.

7 7 5 things we love about working in the Fitness Industry and why you ll feel good becoming part of it in 2015! 01 Hot trends that keep us on our toes. Often literally! High intensity interval training, body-weight strength training, yoga and exercises for older adults topped the list of hot fitness trends predicted for 2015*. 02 It s never too late to start. 30% of fitness professionals are over 30 years of age**. So many of our graduates have traded in draining day jobs for a fulfilling career in fitness and never looked back. 03 Working in a growth sector. Growth is expected to continue for fitness industry services as our population grows and ages, the government invests in preventative health and infrastructure and improved links are created between the health and fitness sectors **. 04 Feeling good about what we do. The most recent Sportspeople salary shows over 85% of fitness professionals were either satisfied or very satisfied with their job. Whether you are helping someone lose weight, recover from injury or improve their general wellbeing, it feels amazing to help others achieve their fitness goals. 05 Promoting the health benefits of physical activity. Type 2 diabetes is expected to become the leading cause of disease burden for males and the second cause for females by 2023, mainly due to the expected growth in the prevalence of obesity in Australia. Positive preventative measures and an increase in the links between the health and fitness industries are key to a brighter and lighter future for a fit and healthy nation. *According to an October 2013 survey by the American College of Sports Medicine. **Statistics from the Fitness Industry Workforce Report published by Fitness Australia in April 2012.

What you might not know about us is that we have been around for a long time, though we used to go by a few different names.

Melbourne-based Fitnation were pioneers in delivering quality distance education in the 1990s. They built on this foundation to become market leaders in online learning.
