Are jobs in this industry on the rise? Are there any sub-sectors that are growing?

Where are the jobs? Which places have the most personal trainer opportunities?

According to the U.S. Department of Labor, careers in fitness are expected to increase much faster than average for all occupations through 2014. This is due to aging baby boomers (who are now the largest demographic in health clubs), parents’ concern over childhood obesity, the use of personal trainers to work with underage athletes, and the rising income of young adults.

As Christina said, according to our wonderful government fitness careers are (and will continue to be) on the rise. I'm interested however to see how the declining economy will impact these forecasts. When people have less money to spend they are even less likely to spend it on their health and fitness.
