However, the profile of its workers has barely been studied. The purpose of this work is to describe the characteristics of professionals employed in fitness centers in a representative city at a national level such as Zaragoza (Spain). Said description is made by the Technical Directors and/or coordinators of the contracting centers. In the consumer sector the Aragonese capital is usually the city that best represents the Spanish socioeconomic reality, since it has a large size, located halfway between Madrid, Barcelona and Euskadi. Zaragoza meets the conditions to represent well the Spanish average in many market studies. 19 centers participated in the study and their technical directors or coordinators completed a questionnaire created for this purpose. The percentages of men and women working in the sector in the city of Zaragoza are very close. The work centers usually establish incentive policies of continuous training, sharing their expenses frequently between worker and company (79%). The vast majority of centers have at least one graduate in Physical Activity and Sports Sciences, who performs tasks of monitorer or instructor in most cases. When it comes to hiring professionals of a fitness center, work experience prevails in front of the skills in the position, personality, or education degree, respectively. © Federacion Espanola de Docentes de Educacion Fisica.
