This is for those employed by a gym or similar - salaries could rise to &pound;35,000. Freelance instructors could earn between &pound;20 and &pound;40 per hour.

For exercise physiologists working in the sports sector. Clinical exercise physiologists working in the NHS would typically start at the lower end of the Band 5 (&pound;27,055 to &pound;32,934) and will need to gain a considerable amount of experience to progress up the pay scale.

Private sector starting salaries can range between &pound;23,000 and &pound;30,000.

The role exercise and nutrition plays in healthy ageing and disease reduction has become a focus for national health policy in recent times. Government and NHS policy is shifting toward 'social prescribing', which research has shown to often be more effective at lifestyle-related disease control than drugs.
This has led to increased demand for practitioners skilled in clinical exercise rehabilitation, health nutrition and behaviour change psychology.
A recent survey conducted with employers of the health and fitness industry identified that current training is insufficient and lacks proper insight into medical conditions, nutrition and psychology. Training should also offer students access to real-life patients/clients. Our BSc (Hons) Health, Nutrition and Exercise Science course responds to both the results of this survey and to the increasing need for suitably trained individuals in the health and well-being sector.
