For many, fitness is more than simply a hobby: it is a lifestyle. Once you get started on your fitness journey you may find that the results you see are so good, you never look back. It is at this point that you have reached a pivotal turning point in your life, and healthy food and exercise simply become another part of your everyday routine. With this in mind, you might be thinking about leaving your current day job to pursue a career in the health and fitness industry. After all, if it’s what you love doing and you are good at it, why shouldn’t you? Working a job that you are truly passionate about can be extremely rewarding, especially when you help to educate other people through your work. If you are ready for the new year to bring you a fresh start, here are some ways you can turn your love for health and fitness into a paying career.
Nutritionist

Or, you could work in a hospital with patients, support schools or other public centers. In order to qualify as a nutritionist, you will generally need some kind of bachelor’s degree – perhaps in biology or food science. Then you will need to complete a supervised practice program in order to receive your license.
