While most people train in the gym for personal reasons - confidence, health, etc. - there's also a chance to profit on your hard work if you are interested.
There are many jobs that require a physical portion on top of a knowledge component, which automatically rules out a lot of competition.
1. Personal Trainer
I haven't met anyone who is really into fitness who doesn't love training other people. It feels good changing other people's lives one rep at a time. On top of that, you can either work for a gym or open up your own, which provides you with good flexibility. The biggest downside are the hours, especially when you're starting. Get used to having to bring in clients or sell your services to them, and train clients at weird hours.
2. Security Guard
Like any job, focus on getting your basic training done before applying. Highlight it on your resume as well as any other experience you have as a security guard or a similar position. Having a great security guard resume will help you find a job 3 times faster than with an average resume (source:

3. Bouncer
If you are one of the few who are not only really fit (read: big) and know how to use your size appropriately, you are in high demand. Finding a bouncer who only uses force when necessary and is also intimidating enough to ward off threats is rare. Bouncers are compensated with good pay, and you will meet a lot of people in the local bar scene. However, there is significant danger associated with being a bouncer in most cities, which is something you might not feel comfortable.
4. Fitness Model
Not everyone can be a model, but if you have a great physique you might be able to be a fitness model. Magazines are always looking for cut people to fill out their editions with. Be warned though, a fitness model has to stay in shape year round, it can add a lot of pressure to your workouts.
