Beauty & Fitness

Hi Lovely,
Physical Fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body. It is the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity.
A strong mind resides in a healthy body. This saying had never been more significant. The fast pace of modern lifestyle has led to an unimaginable amount of Physical and Psychological stress on human body and mind. Consequently, demand for trained fitness instructors has increased.
Modern work environment has led to a sedentary life style with little scope for physical exercise. This has resulted in a large section of the society, especially in urban areas, falling prey to deadly maladies such as:
1. Diabetes.
2. Heart disease.
3. Obesity.
4. Hypertension and so on.
Today, fitness in India is a whopping Rs.2, 000 crore industry and most fitness centers are swanky studios offering an array of fitness regimes such as:
1. Aerobics.
2. Kickboxing.
3. Yoga.
4. Dancercise and other workouts with sophisticated machines.
With gyms and health clubs mushrooming all over the country, the demand for qualified instructors is going up sharply. And this spells good prospects for those aiming to pursue fitness as their career. Trainers with the 'right' qualification can teach just about anybody who can pay to be healthy and fit — from hardworking executives to the stressed-out CEOs, the politicians, the self-conscious student, the middle-aged housewife.
You can opt for a regular academic program in Physical Education from an institute such as:
1. The Indira Gandhi Institute of Physical Education and Sports Sciences (IGIPESS) - New Delhi.
2. Lakshmibai National College of Physical Education - Thiruvananthapuram and Gwalior.
The role of a fitness instructor can be classified as:
1. Aerobics instructor.
2. Clinical exercise specialist.
3. Group fitness or Gym instructor.
4. Personal trainer.
In India, trainers usually earn in the range of Rs.50, 000 to Rs.1, 240, 000 per month if they are established trainers.
Top Companies are mentioned below:
1. Sports Authority of India.
2. Government Institutions and Organizations.
3. Top notch Hotels and Resorts.
4. National as well as Multinational Health and Fitness clubs.
5. Sports clubs and Educational institutions.
6. Cine stars, Models, Businessmen and Sportsmen.
Feel free to raise more questions.
Appreciate by giving it thumbs up or marking as best.
All the Best.

Hi Vishnu,
Cosmetology is an area of study and a career that focuses on hair, skin, and nails. Cosmetologists can do both hair and nails, or focus their careers in one area. With additional training and education a cosmetologist can also be an esthetician. Esthetics focuses on skin care only.
Training in beauty culture includes subjects like anatomy, physiology, client care, body language, sales and marketing, health and nutrition, besides knowledge of skin and hair, their characteristics and functions. Hairstyling is taught as an academic discipline in various polytechnics and also at some academies. Scientific and systematic training is important as much as it is to practice on live models and on blocks to get a feel of the actual process of hairstyling.
