Why Personal Trainers QUIT So Often | Pros And Cons Of Being A Personal Trainer In 2025

What’s up guys! Jeff from Sorta Healthy here! In today’s video (episode 2 of the Sorta Healthy podcast) we are talking all about why personal trainers quit so often. A lot of this boils down to unrealistic expectations. New personal trainers expect the job to be one thing and it ends up being something very different. There’s more sales involved, your personality is hugely important, your personal training certification didn’t prepare you as well as it should have, etc. We dive into a ton of reasons as to why trainers quit. We also talk about whether or not we considered quitting early on and some of our answers might surprise you. All of this does end up being a discussion of the pros and cons of being a personal trainer. It’s one of those jobs that will be a great fit for many but certainly not everyone. Hopefully, our stories give all of you trainers some insights as to what you can expect. At the very least hopefully you can learn from a few of our personal training mistakes!
