I want to be a personal trainer. Is this a good choice?
Hello everyone,
I’m turning 19 in 4 months and I haven’t really done anything with my life yet. I’ve been searching for a job for about a year. Since I live in Hawaii and live in a small town so its hard. I haven’t found any jobs and its really depressing me.
Before that I was about 120 pounds and severely addicted to world of warcraft for about 3 years. From about 15- 18 yrs old. Playing about 4-10 hours per day. I actually lost weight from not eating enough and I’m pretty sure my muscles were burned for fuel since I didn’t eat enough. That’s why I lost weight.
So after a 3 year addiction I quit wow in august 2009. I started P90X in September 2009. Prior to this I had never done real working out. Maybe 25 push ups and 5 minutes of sit ups. That was it though! I started P90X and did it for 2 months. Fell off the wagon at around day 70. Restarted January 1st 2010 fresh, did another round of P90X and missed 0 days! Then I did round 2, but P90X+ this time. I’m coming up on day 81 of this round of P90X+.
I’ve found a new found love for fitness and being healthy. I want to share my knowledge, be it little as of right now. With everyone I know. I’ve only been doing the P90X and P90X+ systems so far but even in the 10 months it’s been since I started this journey. I’ve learned a lot and I’ve put my addiction I had for world of warcraft into fitness and being healthy.
With that being said, I started at 120 pounds of pretty much just skin and bone and now I’m 142 of lean muscles. I’ve gotten a six pack now and its amazing how far hard work and determination can get you.
I’m 5’9 and turning 19 in 4 months. I want to do something with my life and I think trying this personal trainer idea might actually be a good thing.
If i do decide to do it, what I plan to do is go to college and get some dumb part time job and get at least 2 years of college in. Get my certificate, and any other courses in college that would make me more desirable as a personal trainer.
Once I have all that either look into some local gyms and see if they are employing personal trainers and if not set up my own and market myself for it.
I don’t think this is some fad that I’m going to get bored with. I’m really looking forward to do this for the rest of my life. I want to stay fit and healthy until the end of time.
I know some about nutrition and diets but I want to further expand my brain and be the most qualified I can be.
SHORT VERSION : I’m 19 in 4 months, I used to be really skinny from being addicted to wow. Then I quit and now I’m kinda ripped and decently cut. I haven’t had a job yet because my town sucks and is in hawaii so its super expensive. Do you think being a personal trainer is a good career path? I dont want to work at minimum wage forever.
