Abstract

We live in a society of constant acquisition of new knowledge, and our development in each area begins and is based on the learning processes and their practical application.
This article aims to outline the key position in the society of the fitness coach, reflecting the multicomponent nature of his personality, including on the one hand the development of the fitness industry in all its aspects, and on the other - maintaining a healthy lifestyle in the society.
Today, the available specialized textbooks are based on materials and methodologies suitable for building group characteristics, but rather do not reflect the modernity and impact of constantly changing means of physical culture and recreation on the body, and also do not always apply an individual approach and take into account the personal characteristics of the practitioner.
The article is also part of a methodological guide, that is currently in development process, based on the acquired personal knowledge from the personally built, developed and optimized over time training process on the one hand, and on the other - the experience gained in practice over many years, and least but not last - cooperation with the fitness industry and its derivatives.
Globally, in the last 15-20 years such concepts as fitness, health, youth, beauty and prosperity are an absolute symbol of success, emblem and label of a prosperous person, who today prefers to consider his life as a long-term investment process - investing of resources in his own health. In the 21st century, the self-confident person is not only well educated in an elite university and working a prestigious job, but also has an attractive healthy appearance and most importantly - is in good health.
