Well a physical therapist is a doctorates degree... a lot of schooling. There is corporate personal training and a personal training manager.

If you go get a bachelors in physical education you can be a gym teacher which is a stable income. There's some other options just throwing a couple off the top if my head.

Yeah physical therapy requires a master's at minimum.

If you obtain education in the field you could become an clinical exercise specialist or exercise physiologist.

Health promotion is another route you could go.

Try to get into corporate fitness rather than the big box gyms. Big companies alot of times have gyms on site and hire personal trainers hourly to work out their employees. There is no sales and you get great pay and benefits. I got into it and totally love it, they started me at 25 an hour, its a great way to make a living.

How did you find that job opening? I sometimes see job posts on some of the major job boards for positions like that, but pretty rare.


Thx in advance

It is usually not a stable income and is hard to stay totally booked all the time. That is just in general though, there are a lot of trainers that do stay booked all the time but it is difficult. Also you may be getting some wierd hours depending on who you train. You could have someone that wants to train before they go to work at 5:30 and then your last client could be at 8:00 You ultimately make your own schedule but people work during the day so it is hard. That is why I target stay at home rich moms lol

Its an awesome job but is risky!
