Health and Fitness Jobs

The health and fitness job industry is one of the fastest growing sectors in the UK economy. Not only is there rapid growth within the private sector, but the government is increasingly relying on the industry to help it deliver on public health and fitness activity targets in the fight against illness and obesity. It is crucial that the industry’s skilled workforce can keep pace with this growth. Health and Fitness is vital.

The sector had a GVA output equalling £650 million in 2004, it created 7.5% of total active leisure and learning output, and 0.1% of whole UK economy output. Subscriptions for health and fitness in the UK totalled £1.8 billion in 2003.
