Health and wellness industry shapes up to be an attractive career choice

“Company wellness weekends are becoming a huge sector now. Company wellness bootcamps energise the workforce, keep staff healthy and cut down absenteeism”

Some 500,000 Irish people are fitness club members in an industry worth well over €300m annually.

January is traditionally the month of renewal, and never more so in 2021 as the nation tries to move on from the extremely challenging year we’ve just left behind. 

With a sense of expectation for better times ahead, thousands of us will look to our health and fitness this month, and likely join a gym or sign up for personal training sessions. Driven by a variety of factors, including the traditional desire to have a better body shape for the summer’s beach holiday, or trying to emulate the stars of Love Island, the gym business hits top gear around this time of the year.
