How old do you have to be to work at a gym?

While the exact age requirement to work at a gym varies gym by gym, most gyms hire people who are 18 or older. This is due to the liabilities surrounding people working at gyms, even if you work at the front desk. More skilled positions, like trainers, often require more training which leads to an older hiring age.

You can find job postings for gyms in your local area online. Often, looking online helps you to find many different postings in a small amount of time and you can then review and apply for the ones that fit you. If there are smaller, independent gyms in your area, you should try to apply in person as they may not post their openings online.
