Group and specialized fitness instructors often plan or choreograph their own classes. They choose music that is appropriate for their exercise class and create a routine or a set of moves for a class to follow. Some may teach pre-choreographed routines that were originally created by fitness companies or other organizations. Personal fitness trainers design and carry out workout routines specific to the needs of their clients. In larger facilities, personal trainers must often sell their training sessions to members. They start by evaluating their clients' current fitness level, personal goals, and skills. They then develop personalized training programs for their clients to follow, and they monitor the clients? progress.

Fitness trainers in smaller facilities often do a variety of tasks in addition to their fitness duties, such as tending the front desk, signing up new members, giving tours of the fitness centre apart from supervising the weight-training and cardiovascular equipment areas. In some facilities, a single trainer provides individual sessions and teachs group classes. Gyms and other types of health clubs offer many different activities for clients. However, trainers and instructors often specialize in only a few areas.

Fitness trainers must be polite, friendly, and encouraging to get and keep their clients. They must listen carefully to what the clients say and then determine the client's fitness levels and desired fitness goals. Getting fit and staying fit takes a lot of work for many clients. To keep clients coming back for more classes or to continue personal training, fitness trainers must be able to keep their clients motivated.

Fitness instructors also organize and lead group-exercise sessions, which include aerobic exercise, stretching, muscle conditioning, or meditation. Some classes are set to music. In these classes, instructors may select the music and choreograph an exercise sequence.

Specialized fitness instructors teach popular conditioning methods such as Pilates or yoga. In these classes, instructors show the different moves and positions of the particular method and correct those who are doing the exercises improperly.

Fitness directors oversee the fitness-related aspects of a gym or other type of health club. They often handle administrative duties and schedule personal training sessions for clients or creating workout incentive programs. They generally select and order fitness equipment for their facility.

Fitness trainers have distinct personalities. They tend to be social and friendly, generous, cooperative, patient, caring, helpful, empathetic and tactful. Some of them are also enterprising Fitness trainers work in health clubs, fitness or recreation centers, gyms, country clubs, hospitals, universities, yoga and Pilates studios, resorts, and clients' homes. Some fitness trainers also work in offices, where they organize and direct health and fitness programs for employees.
