Ok i have been confused on what i want to do in life and i thought business is good but i just dont like it.

I been thinking on what i love and is my passion and i now know that it has to do with fitness. i have always loved playing sports, i been a member of a gym. And now i think that being a personal trainer is what i would like to do. I want to help people achive their fitness goals, i want to see their progress they have made.

So my question is, do you have any tips, suggestions?
I know that i need to get certified but there are many out there. Also what is better an online course that i have seen or an actual hands on, i heard of a place in Dallas but not sure what its called. Also i heard that i need to carry my own insurance or something like that just incase if some one gets hurt.

Any help, tips i will greatly appreciate!!

Pub asked:


I’m a personal trainer going to london in two months.
You see personal trainers in london train people in parks? or I’ll have to work in a gym? The reason I ask, is because gym takes 50% of what I make and I would prefer keeping 100% of what I charge for myself.

lisalu1219 asked:


I’m just curious, I’m looking into getting a personal trainer next year, after tax season because that’s the only time I can dish out a substantial amount of money. I’m looking for one in Massachusetts, near Leominster or Fitchburg. I would prefer one at Planet Fitness. But if anybody has even a ballpark figure as to how much they charge, that would be great.
