Do you think that becoming a personal trainer (fitness) is a wise career choice?

Yes, definitely.  People are seeking personal trainers more and more.  Besides if you were really good you could end up working for celebrities and really bring in some major cash. : )

My advice: \n\nGet a reputable certification.\nGet liability insurance.\nChoose what route to go - club trainer, in-home trainer, open a studio, etc.\nChoose a specialty or niche.\nStudy the business / marketing side of the personal training industry.\n\nIf you want more information, check out http://www.fitnessconsultinggr... There are dozens of free articles there about how to be a successful trainer.\n\nGood luck,\n\nPat

Asher j you asked this question before, so I'm going to give you almost  the same answer as before.\n\nI think you're about 3 yrs to late, you should have had a Coach / Trainer at 13 years of age and been training at that point, but if you want it bad enough and are willing to work I'd say you had a shot.\n\nRemember if you choose to do this it becomes your ( job / career ) it's not just the glory you see on Television, you will eat and sleep bicycles seven days a week.

It really depends on alot of factors. If you are comfortable where you are right now, I would just buy a few books or take a few classes. But if this is truely your lifes passion, then I say go for it.

Yes, I would be happy with what Ive done in my life so far.I'm raising 4 kids, going to college to be a nurse, working as a paramedic, and trying to be there for family and friends. So life is good for me. Helping people is something I love to do.

Yes I would. I can't say whether it actually works or not but isn't this what life is about? Experience, learning, gaining knowledge. Passing up a chance to learn more about yourself would be a waste.

There already are such agencies around. They provide personal trainers who meet you at your gym, your home or your office but there is room for more such agencies so if you're thinking of setting one up, go for it. The key thing to work on is getting enough trainers and getting a large enough client base.

I think it is perfectly fine that you are interested in your future. I don't think you need to obsess over it though. Keep in mind that you have many life experiences ahead of you and most likely will change your mind many, many times before you actually choose and train for a career.\n\nThe best advice I have ever heard (and did not heed) was to choose something you love. If you do that, you will have the drive and passion to be successful. It does not matter if others think it stupid or unlikely, if you feel strongly enough about it to pursue it passionately.\n\nIn the meantime, realize that this phase of your life is about discovery rather than deciding.

As a matter of fact, there are already Fitness Trainers on the Net. To some extent it's not a bad idea --- for the motivated individuals. But as a trainer (not talking about doing business) I want to see my students progress and let them ask on the spot  during a training session.

It differs from person to person.\nMathematics is more interesting for me.\nYou know better whats good for you. So, don't listen to others and do what you feel like doing.\nAfter all its the question of your career.\nSo why take chances?\n\nBest of Luck!

According to both state and federal bureaus of labor, the answer is men. However, that does not mean a woman can't do the job.  More men do certain jobs in America than women simply because it's a cultural thing: notice that we still use the term "policeman" and "fireman" and "postman" despite the fact that women have been doing these very jobs, and doing them very well, for years.  There's no more good reasons for women not to be personal trainers than there are for more men not to be nurses.  So if any woman you know is contemplating becoming a personal trainer - tell her to go for it!

I don't think you are supposed to remain in one career only.  It's human to be curious and seek out new challenges.  You should rise to the challenges your career path brings to you.  Too many people work at jobs they hate, day in, day out, without any personal satisfaction.
