LGBTQ Personal Trainers and Lifestyle Coaches
The personal training industry is a huge global industry. Its rise in public presence has coincided with tremendous advances in communications, social media, health and welfare advice, and general concerns about personal lifestyle and longevity of life.
For a community that is often focused on looks, health and aging, there is not surprise that the LGBTQ presence in this industry is widespread. Many companies and individuals offer these services in their local communities. There is extensive training certification and professional development programs in the industry, though there are no standardized and formal certification programs that are mandatory to the the use of the designation.
Many successful and high profile LGBTQ personal trainers have gone on to to star in television shows centered on fitness and lifestyle. This often leads to in-home medial tools (such as dvds and YouTube videos). The fitness and lifestyle book publishing industry is very large and international. As a result of these developments, many of the high profile LGBTQ personal trainers have become media celebrities.
