Fitness is fantastic, and for anyone looking for a way to find more fitness within your life, then deciding to set yourself up with a career in it is a great way to live out your passion. Plenty of jobs involve physical fitness, and there are plenty of ways that you can dedicate yourself to the development and understanding of the human body and its highest functions. When you’re thinking that you want to spend the rest of your life considering fitness, you’ll likely start by thinking about exactly which job you want to take. It doesn’t really matter what you love, other than fitness — there’s a way that you can apply your passion to the development of that peak physical condition. If you’re into science, you can become a researcher, and develop new supplements, techniques, and equipment. Perhaps you’re looking for a more socially-oriented line of work. Maybe you love seeing new people every day, and maybe feeling like you’re truly being of service is a very important thing to you. If you think this describes you, you’re in luck. Personal training is one of the most popular aspects of the fitness world, and if you’re thinking about pursuing a fitness-oriented career, this might very well be the perfect choice for you. Every angle of an issue should always be considered, though, so we’ll take you through some of the pros and some of the cons that come along with working as personal trainer, so you can know exactly what to expect from your future job.
To start, your work as a personal trainer will have you being very social on a daily basis, so if you just love being around people this is a great job for you. Between meeting new clients, seeing and working out with your old ones, and whomever else you work with in the process (no personal training is done in a vacuum, and the more you network the more success you’ll see), personal training is an incredibly social experience. What’s more is that it’s service-oriented, so you’ll get the reward of seeing your clients really and truly improve themselves in ways that they might not have been able to without your help and guidance. What’s more is that you can set your own limits a lot of times, and decide how much you want to work when you’re a personal trainer.
There are downsides, though, and one of them is that personal training can be a tough career to maintain when you become older. Another problem is that personal trainers can often have trouble find the times to work out themselves, ironically enough. You’ll likely be in high demand (which is a good thing), but this can lead to an incredibly busy schedule. Deciding to offer your own personal training courses is a bold move, but if you think you’re ready for it, then it might be one of the best decisions you ever make.

School is something a lot of us don’t get through, for various reasons. We may have dropped out in high school, we may have not gone to college, and we may have decided against completing a master’s degree when we had the chance to. No matter what kind of education you feel you missed out…
Continuing with my list of interview preparation steps, the next two are ones I like to call “Know Yourself” and “Tell a Story”. KNOW YOURSELF By this, I mean making certain that you have thoroughly committed to memory everything in your resume, particularly the specific examples of your accomplishments.
