Career settings of a personal trainer include leisurely, corporate, and general everyday locations. As a trainer who works at leisure locations (vacation) your job is primarily to keep not only the vacationers and tourists in shape for the brief time they're away from home, but to also keep the staff in shape. Corporations also employ personal trainers for health-conscious employees who want to stay in shape working a 9 to 5. Finally, as a trainer you may work in everyday locations such as gyms (most common) or retirement homes for the elderly (less common).
A common vacation that employs personal trainers are cruise ships; trainers are hired to cater to health-conscious travelers who want to stay in shape. You will likely not be working with the tourists here on long-term goals but instead maintenance and short-term goals; like previously stated, you may be responsible for keeping the crew in shape, however. A personal trainer may also work for corporations such as large office companies who want to keep their employees (who often eat crap and sit sedentary for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week) in shape and avoid health insurance problems as a result. Finally a personal trainer may work with a retirement agency to keep the elderly in relative shape as they age. Aside from physical setting, you may work in different levels of training as well; you can work for a no-name retirement home or you can be the personal trainer for Apple's CEO.
