Do you enjoy your job? would you recommend doing it? What’s the worse thing about it?

lmao. the ultimate charlatan bro-science field.

quickly becoming an armchair psychology department.

meanwhile obesity ticks upward to almost 40%.

Check the PT section here for lots of advice, but here's the gist of it: been a trainer for 20 years.

I love it but I have a niche and I'm really good at my job. I also don't have to worry about getting or keeping clients, most have been with me for years regularly and if I ever need a new one I have a waiting list of referrals.

At the beginning, the hours are terrible. You live at the gym and you make little to no money - you will never be rich as a trainer unless you are the rare exception who shills garbage online or basically sells cookie cutter programs to people. Pros are that once you're established you can work whatever hours you want and make decent money for hours worked (if you're not working in a chain gym).

Do it if you genuinely have an interest in helping people and are interesting in learning how the body really works. There's a reason that about 90% of trainers aren't in the industry after about 2-3 years. Most think they will be training Instagram models and athletes, and what really happens is you're training overweight housewives and stressed out businessmen.

Thanks
