Start a new career in fitness

There’s never been a better time to start a new and exciting career in the fitness industry.

According to data experts Statista, the Malaysian fitness industry is estimated to be worth close to $40 million USD, and is experiencing an annual growth of more than 7% over the next four years. Wondering what your share could be? Well, the average annual salary for a Personal Trainer in Malaysia is currently 67,766 MYR, with some Fitness Instructors even recording up to 83,000 MYR.
