The paper presents findings collected in the study on workplace information literacy (IL) of Croatian fitness and conditioning personal trainers. The purpose of this study is to identify the level of IL and information behaviour of fitness and conditioning personal trainers with different educational backgrounds in kinesiology. The study addresses the following research questions: (1) What are information needs of personal trainers with formal education and those with informal or without any education? (2) What type of information sources do those two groups use and for what purposes do they usethem? and (3) Is there a difference in the manner in which those two groups of respondents retrieve, evaluate, and utilize information at their workplace? This is the first such study to be conducted in Croatia, a country with an increasingly overweight and obese population.
