    Seems like info to add in a cover letter, not resume.

    you might win them over with a career related fitness interest like rock climbing, hunting or hiking more than just something broad like personal fitness. good luck!

    If you've completed something like an Iron Man or event it's resume worthy... but honestly generic fitness tends not to win people over on physical paper. It's better to just bring it up if you get to round 2 or 3 of the interview process.

    TBH: I would never put any of my fitness stuff on a resume unless I was certified or completed some sort of record / major event.

    Okay, I'm getting the impression that I should leave off "other interests" altogether, and I think that's fine. I put hiking and backpacking under "outdoors experience" and I have that I'm physically fit in my cover letter. I think that should probably do it, right?
