Many people interested in becoming a personal trainer get stuck with similar problems, which will delay their success.
These include:
1. Textbook only study
You can pass the exam, but human beings don’t live on paper. Without the right course and shared lived experience, you will have to navigate every difficulty along the way on your own.
2. Stealth mode
Forgetting to celebrate the choice to study and to share that. Many people taking on the choice to become a certified trainer don’t speak about it. It is a big step in your life journey, and openly sharing it with others means you will practice the reality and mindset of being a personal trainer.
3. Waiting for certificates
Joining an academy like ours means you have the chance to interact with professionals and learn from their experiences immediately (we run masterclasses for example).
4. Getting stuck on the studies and not the business
Remember, being a personal trainer is more than just becoming certified. This is the starting point of a new career, which for many will include running their own business. Keeping this in mind helps shape how you study and what you absorb.
5. Delaying your studies
with each year, more personal trainers graduate. The sooner you begin, the sooner you will become a seasoned professional. There’s a simple maths equation here: clients will always pay more for a seasoned professional. Get off the couch - let’s get going!
