Health club owner
Ever feel as though the gyms and health clubs you visit don’t quite meet all your needs? If you think you could do it better, then why don’t you?! Sure, this is definitely jumping in at the deep end. But if you are also blessed with a good business brain as well as a love for all things fitness, you may be onto something. Take a look at the current market and do some research to find out what people want from their health clubs. Cheaper membership? More facilities? Available extras? Whatever it is, you need to market your business plan around that. You will most likely need to secure a reliable investor so you are able to make your dream a reality, so find out about how you can secure funding as a start-up. Remember to start small and build your club or gym from the ground up – Rome wasn’t built in a day!

Personal trainer
It wasn’t so long ago that personal training used to be considered a low to mid-range kind of job. These days, however, things couldn’t be more different. You can find personal trainer courses that enable you to study either full time or part time until you are qualified. Personal training is now a full blown career, with the top trainers earning anything up to $70k as per the rate they charge their clients. Some trainers have even become minor celebrities, amassing hundreds of thousands of followers on Instagram. In order to reach these dizzy heights, you need to tap into the power of marketing. Use social media and have a professional website built to clearly show your services and to enable people to book with you. If you have your own studio, even better; a lot of people prefer to work out in a more private setting. You are the brand when it comes to personal training, so spend some time carving yours out to make sure it’s just right.
