I train personal trainers. One thing I'd say is don't try to be everything to everybody. Instead, specialize in the areas of fitness you are most interested in. is it hockey conditioning or weight loss after pregnancy, etc. whatever it is, learn as much about those areas as you can. Eventually you will be seen as the expert in those areas. Also, remember that the beginners who are usually women over age 40 are who your clients are most likely to be. if your areas of expertise are in line with what that population is looking for, then you will be ok.
I hope some of this helps

Thank you Joe really appreciate the advice
The most convincing trainers are the ones with the largest clientele. You must be convincing in the way you look, the lifestyle philosophy you articulate, your professionalism and your attitude towards wellness. Lacking in these areas will cause people to look elsewhere.
Your welcome, Im glad to be able to help

I recommend doing something that hasn't been done yet. Also, focus on an area your interested in. Maybe its a specific team sport you have a lot of knowledge on how to train someone for. Or maybe its your knowledge on nutrition that makes you different. Aside from that pursue other avenues to gan an audience like YouTube is something I use to put out my content.
You should try to by an online personal trainer, there are some software or platform to support that idea. Online personal trainer now is more popular because people are more busy so they cannot have a fix schedule for in-person training. And the chance is more for you during this pandemic, people have to stay at home, like me, I have to do home workout because of the quarantine.
