How can I get a part-time gym job?

The qualifications that you need for a part-time gym job vary depending on the position for which you wish to apply. Some jobs, such as administrative staff and janitorial positions, require a high school diploma or GED certificate, and employers typically prefer applicants with previous experience working in a fitness center. Fitness trainers should have a degree in exercise science or a related field or professional certification from organizations like the American Council on Exercise (ACE). In addition to instructional skills, part-time trainers need to have schedule flexibility so that they can work when clients schedule training appointments.
