Thinking of a career in the industry but not sure where to start?

Individuals that are considering working in the exercise industry should firstly be congratulated - it's an exciting and growing industry that adds real value to the lives of those it interacts with (both clients and those working in it).

As the majority of employers in New Zealand will only use individuals registered with REPs for any exercise roles (eg group exercise, gym instructor, personal trainer etc), it is strongly recommended that the first thing to undertake is a course that has been verified by REPs. These courses can be found on the recommended initial training page.

It may also be useful to contact prospective employers directly asking them what characteristics they are looking for, and also finding out more about the industry you are considering. A list of many employers can be found on the facilities search page.
