Thanks for sharing your story! People often don't realize all of the steps that go into becoming a fitness instructor, and this makes it seem less daunting.

thank you for sharing your story!! this was really helpful and validating! i'm looking into getting into fitness full-time in the future. for right now i'm in the stages of making it a side hustle first and see where my mindset goes from there (if i really want to go all-in or not).

I grew up swimming, dancing, and running cross country all the time. After graduating high school and not doing any of that for a year I actually became really unhappy. Like you I wanted to do advertising 😂 but I realized I wanna do these things from before as a career. So I’m majoring in dance in college now and until schools open back up I’m getting my certification in fitness + nutrition + wellness + business and it’s a 3 month program. I wanna work at a gym while attending school and teach classes. Cause I love helping people feel better about themselves and be more confident. And I’ve always been passionate about healthy eating and lifestyle. I’m still not sure what kind of class I’d wanna teach. I’m thinking like Zumba or just regular hip hop classes? Cause some gyms offer those and prob regular workout classes. What do you think?

Thank you for the advice. Those are great tips! A few questions: what are those equipments in the background anyway? Also do you still feel that the fitness industry is saturated after quarantine? Because I’ve been job searching at local fitness places recently and they all say they really need more employees including trainers/instructors?

what you have studied to be a fitness instructor, is it necessary to have something like diploma degree or anything? right now I am doing m.sc in Physics, now i want to teach people about fitness, not physics, , , i am thinking to drop the m.sc sometimes, I have only experience on fitness what would you suggest me?
