Advice for a NOOB getting into personal training
First Post!
So here's my story:
Graduated from college with a degree in marketing and entrepreneurship and went straight into the job market getting a 8-5 job.
After working for last couple years, I found that my job was mundane, boring, and frankly, I was tired of working for someone.
Now, I am here with a fresh new look at life. I want to get into the personal training business. As a passion, I've always liked helping and training friends for fun by giving them exercise plans to reach their fitness goals.
Since I'm new to the business, I was wondering if any of you could give me some valuable advice building up my clients, figuring out how much to charge, starting off in a gym or going off on my own, what it takes to get insurance, etc. I just need some general advice to help me get going. Considering that I don't have a degree in health science or physical education, how difficult is it to get noticed or at least get my foot in the door with a gym?
I've taken the first step in becoming certified by purchasing course material to get ACE PT certified.
Thanks in advance for all your advice and help!
