@@Activeuser07 after four years of training, I’ll say in my opinion being a trainer is an amazing side job to do simultaneously with a full time job, but to do it full time can be inconsistent. January is always busy and full schedules and June it gets cut in half.

This is a great breakdown for those looking into becoming a PT! I've been thinking of going into Personal Training myself and videos like this have been a great source of information! For anyone who wants a really in-depth PT career options video, i'd recommend watching "Personal Training Career Options (Pros and Cons)" by OriGym. It's over 30 minutes and basically talks you through ALL your possible career options as a PT and what to expect from each option. Just thought i'd mention if anyone wants more info - It helped me out a lot. Anyway, thanks again and keep up the good work! :D

Hi there! I think it would be great for you to get qualified as a personal trainer! Once you've got your certificates and insurance you can start coaching as your main career or a side-hustle that you can enjoy whilst earning money. The course is quite science based but my exam was multiple choice answers, coursework including creating session plans and then practical sessions where you lead a session. I think you can do this if you're passionate and hard working!

Hey! In the UK you need a level 2 and level 3 certificate which you can study for at home or on a course with a teacher - however I really do disagree with looking for the "quickest" way to become qualified in anything because the most important thing you'll need is experience. I see too many so-called coaches who have a certificate they studied for in like 6 weeks but really still have no idea what they're doing or why they're doing it - it's dangerous! Hope that helps though!

Hi! I've just finished my second year on a biomedical sciences degree - I'd say that having biology to a high school / undergrad level would definitely help but going to college specifically for personal training isn't necessary. Depending on your situation you can study for your certificate part time at home or on weekend courses - you can still earn from a regular job until you're confident that you can turn training into something full time. Hope that helps!

Hey! So I got my level 2 and level 3 personal trainer qualifications and my insurance and then applied to a few different gyms in my city - I only coach 3 sessions a week in a private studio now but I still really enjoy it!

Hey, is it worth it in terms of paying rent in the private studio vs getting your money for doing 3 sessions a week? :)

Lol ahaha thank you

You're lucky you have that kind of people to work with. Over here in my place the fellow trainers are fucking toxic and just bitch about others. One of them bribes the salesman to recommend potential clients to him first lol I don't understand how they have been going under the same brand for so long.
