Description
Sports private tutors design training programs tailored to each client's physical fitness and goals (such as improving athletic performance, maintaining health, or dieting), and provide technical instruction, form checks, and motivation maintenance. Initially, they conduct physical fitness assessments and counseling, manage progress, and adjust load and content accordingly. As needed, they also offer advice on stretching, conditioning, nutrition, and rest, supporting injury prevention and recovery. They work in diverse environments such as online sessions, sports gyms, and private homes.

With the rise in health consciousness and the spread of exercise habits, demand for individual tutoring is increasing. Diversification is expected, including online courses and programs for the elderly.
