I’ve just read about a company in the United States called Redline  that offers personal training sessions for kids run by local athletes. It’s a win-win for all concerned. The athletes get to make some extra cash doing something they love and the kids get the benefits of their experience and the health benefits that regular exercise brings.

When I was growing up, such an idea would have been laughable – you got all the exercise you needed just through play. But that’s no longer the case, and the dramatic rise in childhood obesity is evidence of that. I can  see something like this working well here in the UK as worried parents look to ensure that their kids get enough exercise now, and are set on the path to good health habits for their adult lives in the future.

If you have experience or expertise in the area of exercise, health and nutrition, this could be an interesting niche to investigate, and something of a relief from the crowded adult market.
