you must do a degree course in nutrition n diets n them gym coach training for weights,cardios,yoga etc
you might want to check with a college in your area if you need a teaching degree as well. Look in the yellow pages of your phone book for colleges/universities in your area and give them a call and ask. If the person answering the phone doesn't know, ask if they would forward your call to a counselor. Even make an appointment with a counselor to get the entire information you need. But remember that school will be starting soon and it's hectic on campus.
Your local FE may run a fitness instructor course, I know they do in my area of the East Midlands, you can get a job in a gym with this or on a cruise ship.
Good luck!
