Register of Exercise Professionals (REPs) in Britain shows that of the total 13,770 Registered Personal Trainers, 65% of PTs are men and only around 35% are women. We need more FEMALE fitness professionals!
Why female clients prefer female trainers?
– Some women are just more comfortable working with other women. As personal trainers will be working in close proximity with them, as well as touching them when spotting on various exercises.
– For clients who are returning to exercise after delivery, they may prefer a female trainer who has firsthand knowledge of childbirth and postpartum exercise based on her own experience of reclaiming her pre-baby body.
-Women will prefer to work with a female personal trainer who identifies with and understands their body cycles hence able to design quality routines because their health is as important to them as it is to the trainer!
-There might also be women who prefer to work with a female trainer to avoid making their husband or boyfriend jealous!!
So in conjunction with our Theme of the Month (June) – WOMEN, we are doing a special feature for all the female fitness professionals we know (students/friends/staff/educators)!

Oh well, even though female trainers do stand advantage when it comes to female clients, that gives more reason to male trainers to buck up and understand more about women!
As more of the women population (from young to old) wants to be healthy, every trainer (both male & female) should be ready for the challenge!
