Abstract: Objective Through the analysis of the current status of fitness instructors in our country, the study intended to clarify the problems in the development and cultivation of fitness instructors, and provide reference to the construction and cultivation on the fitness instructors, and also provide strong reference for the personnel development of the Health Service Industry. Methods The research adopted the literature review method. The present status and the deficiency of fitness instructors were summarized. Results According to our nearly 5 years research on fitness coaches, the ages of fitness coaches were mainly in the 20s and 30s. Among them, 70% to 80% were men, and only 20% to 30% were women. In terms of education, those in developed and urban areas showed a trend of higher education; more than 70% of them had college degrees. In less developed areas, fitness instructors’ academic degrees were relatively low, with very few undergraduate degrees. Most of them had secondary and tertiary education. More than 50% fitness instructors were from sports majors, and the proportion was rising. More than 85% of fitness instructors had one or more qualification certificates. In the working periods, the focus is on two to six years. Only less than 10% fitness instructors were trained after work, but they had high desire for training. Conclusion Currently, fitness instructors tend to be younger with gender imbalance and low degrees.The training of fitness instructors now maily concentrates on theoretical training, and there is a lack of practice training. Training institutions should be improved. Training time should be longer. The source of students is complex and the professional threshold is low. Although they have certain specialized knowledge, it is still a long way for them to reach the professional level. There are still some unqualified coaches.
