Long-term you should probably look at getting a degree in some sort of health/fitness field, short-term a qualification in Gym instruction/PT is your best bet.
Others will have better advice than me though.hi

I would recommend a few communication courses as much as anything- of course study in the fitness field either with a cert or a college degree- but when it comes down to it how well can you communicate and make the sales pitch to someone.Originally Posted by dsraka0
When I started out as a college junior the majority of my clients were middle aged women- I had to learn to fake being interested in what they wanted to talk about more then anything. They didn't care too much what I knew exercise wise- just wanted a gossip hour.
Just my opinion but I bet others out there would agree. When you're brand new and building your client base you can't afford to not take on those clients.
