A Personal Trainer (Kaiwhakangungu Tinana) works one-on-one or in group settings with clients who want to meet specific fitness goals, whether that is building muscle, losing body fat, or training for a competition or event. Personal Trainers often work in gyms, meeting clients and leading fitness classes, and may be required to work early mornings, in the evenings, and at weekends. Some Personal Trainers are self-employed and run fitness consultations in private gym environments or in public places, like parks or beaches. As well as having a good understanding of anatomy and the human body, Personal Trainers should also have good knowledge about nutrition and holistic healthy lifestyles.

While there are no mandatory qualifications for becoming a Personal Trainer in New Zealand, having a formal qualification will likely improve your job prospects.
