I have alot of work to do now as I am not in shape at all YET :-), but I want to do this to learn more about overall wellness and fitness and this way I will always be involved in working out, living better and healthier. Any good advice would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks.I want to know how I can get into the fitness industry? I want to become a fitness instr./presonal trainer?There are a lot of organizations you can go through to become a fitness professional. First you need to decide want you want to do. Do you want to be solely a personal trainer? Or do you want to teach groups like pilates and yoga. Once you decide, then you can choose the right organization. Of course I recommend NETA (National Exercise Trainers Association). That's who I work with. However if you do a yahoo search for personal trainer certification, you will find many organizations to train and certify you. Hopes this helps. Also you should look into institutional training. You can become a health educator, a nutritionist or dietitian through on-line study or regular classroom instruction. Touro University International has a great health education program. Fitness is a booming industry, and will be around!!!I want to know how I can get into the fitness industry?

I have been certified and teaching the last 8 years. If you want to do personal training, choose a certification that will take you a few sessions of classes to complete. I have a degree in exercise science - you can also study up on anatomy and phys info yourself.I want to know how I can get into the fitness industry?
