Personal Trainer Career Path | A Personal Training Journey: Dead BROKE To Successful And Highly Paid

What’s up guys! Jeff from Sorta Healthy here! Today Alexis and I are going to be breaking down our personal training journeys. Really, what we’ll be describing is a personal trainer career path that many in the field are unaware of. Why do this? Well, we think if other personal trainers hear our stories then that could help to steer them in the right direction. The reality is that a ton of trainers quit within the first year of working. Why do personal trainers quit so fast? It likely boils down to a few different things: -The job is quite different than what’s expected -Personal training is more of a sales job than expected -Your personal training certification isn’t that helpful -You will have to learn most personal training skills on the job -There aren’t that many good resources for newer trainers to learn skills -Many gyms have a “sink or swim” approach with new personal trainers -The personal training career path is not well defined in realistic ways by top fitness professional There are many other things that cause newer trainers to quit the field as well. Hopefully, us sharing our stories and a few funny stories along the way helps to keep you in the game! Being a personal trainer can be incredibly rewarding if you stick out the beginning part! Thanks for your support everyone! We love you all! -Jeff and Alexis ---- Subscribe and listen to the podcast on iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-sorta-healthy-podcast/id1826831294 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/17X4Pb7gYJ5LLTiQwuAkhQ?si=644cd580f0c74900 Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.in/podcasts/6ca1b778-1f1d-4d8a-8950-d7ebb091092d/the-sorta-healthy-podcast ---- You can download the forms we use in our personal training business by going to this link: https://www.sortahealthytrainered.com/freepersonaltrainingforms ---- Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sortahealthyjeff and https://www.instagram.com/sortahealthyalexis Our in-person business: https://www.commencefitness.com
