Hi there,

I'll be qualifying as a Personal trainer this summer and would like to eventually live and work in Spain. I was wondering if anyone knew how the fitness industry is doing over in Spain? Is there any area of Spain in particular looking for skilled workers in the fitness industry? Any feedback will be appreciated

Close friend of mine came over with same qualifications now works fulltime as a swimming pool maintenance guy...

Sorry Deano, too many of us oldies I think .I get enough exercise mopping the floor!

I´m sure theres hundreds of out of work spanish ones - without speaking spanish or having any experience, how do you think you would be in an interview with the boss for one position in a spanish gym with no english customers?

I´m sorry, but you really need to think it through.

Just a guess but an English speaking trainer may ( emphasis on 'MAY') have more opportunities in the larger cities. I only say this as I'm shortly to move to Barcelona and am soon to have some intro sessions with English speaking trainers there. Of course without speaking Spanish how you work with a Gym to offer your services I don't know.

Just my 2 cents, there's no guarantee this is feasible.
