Exercise Physiologist Jobs

A clinical exercise physiologist prescribes and supervises exercise for people with diagnosed disease, most often in cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation. You run monitored sessions after a heart attack or surgery, watch telemetry while patients work, and know what to do when something on the screen changes.

Louisiana licenses clinical exercise physiologists and no other state does, so postings everywhere else lean on certification and name the issuing body. Cardiac rehabilitation employers want a clinical certification plus BLS, and often ACLS, since the population you're supervising is exactly the one that arrests.

The post sits inside cardiac or pulmonary rehabilitation, not in a fitness department, which means hospital hours, a clinical team, and a badge that gets you onto units. Corporate wellness and research labs hire the same training for very different days.
