[pound4pound30]

Im gonna be graduating this June out of high school in New York. Im moving to Florida and have decided to become a personal trainer for a career. Any help on how to do this, and any tips would be greatly appreciated.

I have an appointment with my guidance counselor this Friday and im sure he can help out a little, but some of you already being trainers I figured you could help out a little also. I am just looking for some more info on this. Also money isnt everything to me but any idea of an average salary for a trainer around the Orlando area?

Thanks guys.

Learn from the best(Forget the dude who wrote a book on how to get a six-pack)
Doubt everything you read and heard(NSCA and Human Kinetic are the only resources trusted in the domain)
Get as munch experience as you can(children, teen, adults, old people)

When you'll have a reputation and only when peoples comes to you and asking for help, its might be time to start your own things and get accountant help, it cost money, but it worth every pennies.
