I've been looking at getting certified for a couple of years off and on. I don't have the money laying around to do it right now so that's what's stopping me. I am wondering how easy it is to get work once you are certified either through a gym or independently.
"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
Anybody a personal trainer?

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

There's a lot of us around on this board bro... I don't have any real certification, but I do have two university degrees in health/fitness fields, and almost 10 years in the trenches as well as experience as a high performance athlete.
I recently started my own fitness consultation business...that way you cut out the middle man, and I charge $50/session, so the rate of pay is also a lot better that what you'd be makin at a club. I think it depends where you are as far as demand for personal trainers go, after all it is not a cheap service that we offer... There is a growing movement towards fitness and preventative health measures however, so I think the future forecast for fitness services is good...

I'm a trainer
If you don't have organizational skills, discipline, patience, courage, looks, charisma, charm and social skills, training isn't for you. However..if you do have those skills listed above getting clients is as difficult as you make it.
If you put in the effort to do things for yourself and your business (of training) you will do well. If you depend on handouts from your fitness coordinator or do nothing to talk to people outside of the gym, you won't make enough to survive.
Training shouldn't be your primary job. You should have another job or plan on moving up the ladder to director or even owner.
and finally make sure your good, if you build a reputation for yourself it will make or break you.

I was thinking about getting in to it while in university.. I know a couple myself, and as DB said... it's all about how you present yourself. Most people don't make a conscious decision to come back to you or refer you to others simply because your methods work.. They bring in more people to you because they LIKE you.
Being personable and having your **** together is most important. And yeah, take it on as a second job at first.. There's no telling if you'll be successful or not until you get going.
You have to be good as well
Learn your trade.

Learn your trade.Like others already said you'll need good people skills. If your training the general population you'll also find yourself being a mental doctor as well (you'll be shocked at the stuff people will tell you). Its def a second job though and will be a real grind for awhile.
"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
