Realities of Being a Personal Trainer [Pros & Cons]

The marketing for becoming a personal trainer often portrays the career as flexible and full of smiles, suggesting that if you take an online program, you will become an “elite” personal trainer. In reality, the education required to enter the fitness industry is the bare minimum needed to meet safety standards to become a personal trainer, and the programs offered are entry-level. It’s not that being a personal trainer is a miserable job by any means. Still, it requires hard work and stepping outside your comfort zone to develop new interpersonal skills and gain experience training clients. This video explores the pros and cons of the personal training career and provides takeaways that individuals looking to enhance their experience can apply. 🎙️with Nick Clayton -    • Personal Trainer Basics [Networking, CEUS,...   🎙️with Dr. Anthony Wall -    • Motivational Strategies to Improve Trainin...   🎙️with ‪@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation‬   • Day One as a Certified Personal Trainer fe...   Types of Clients Upon entering the fitness industry, many new trainers have aspirations of guiding athletes to new heights through their programming or working regular business hours (9 am to 5 pm), but the reality of being a personal trainer is that you work during peak gym hours which is before work and after work. Training athletes is as fun as it sounds since they are often highly motivated clients, but these clients are hard to attain. They usually already work with a trainer; you must go through the parent to sign them up. On the other hand, being a generalist will help you gain the necessary experience to grow a client list and make a livable monthly income. The off-hours of being a personal trainer can cause friction if your significant other doesn’t understand the business. Therefore, sharing the hours required early on in the profession is essential. Explain how you’ll need to spend extra (often unpaid) hours in the gym to speak with members and let them know that you represent the brand. Master Your Fitness Consultation As a newly certified personal trainer, focusing on fitness consultations is crucial. This initial meeting is your first chance to demonstrate your abilities professionally, and refining each part of this process can enhance your likelihood of securing new clients. Analyzing each component can help you identify which areas require more practice. Additionally, seeking feedback from a colleague can offer beneficial perspectives. Working alongside experienced trainers at your facility is a valuable asset, as they have insights on lead generation techniques and practical strategies they've used. Teach Group Fitness In addition to understanding the specific characteristics of each gym you’re applying to, it's essential to investigate the group fitness offerings at each location. LesMills.com reports, "59% of gym members engage in fitness class activities.” This figure is even more pronounced according to American Spa, which notes that “85% of class participants visit their gym twice a week to take part in group classes, and 43% go four times a week for this reason." Aspiring personal trainers must recognize that many gym members participate in group fitness, providing excellent opportunities to connect with these individuals. More occasions to demonstrate your expertise in health and fitness is advantageous, as there is a suitable group fitness format for everyone to teach. Summary The career of a personal trainer can be lucrative and very rewarding. Essentially, you help people improve their health, which can provide an emotional high for many. Reaching this point in your career will take many dedicated hours spent engaging with gym members, but finding a system that creates more opportunities to develop your craft is crucial. Stay consistent, and you’ll be one of the few who turn this career into a lifelong journey.
