11 Cities With The Highest Demand for Personal Trainers

Being fit and healthy is all the rage these days. And for good reason. Science continues to provide conclusive evidence in support of exercise and its many benefits to your long and short-term well being. As such, people of all ages are looking for direction on what exactly they should be doing to make the most of their time at the gym. So whether it's one-on-one sessions or group training classes, fitness trainers have stepped in to meet the high demand. So, fellow trainers, if you want to know where you will be most wanted, check out the list compiled by the experts of Insidermonkey on the 11 cities with the highest demand for personal trainers.

If you’re a personal trainer or you’re studying to become certified, you probably want to live somewhere that has a regular need for people with your skills. The states that have a continuous demand for personal trainers are the states that have the highest populations, like New York, California, Florida and Texas. States that are in the sun belt also need trainers because people are out in the sun more frequently and don’t wear as much clothing.

But sadly, personal trainers aren’t paid very well. In fact, of the 343 cities considered in our ranking, the average salary was slightly above $35,000, much less than the salary paid to even paralegals, as seen in the 11 cities with the highest demand for paralegals.
