Has anyone on here re-trained as a personal trainer or fitness instructor? Or perhaps already works in this field?
My DS1 is currently eight months old and I definitely do not want to go back to old job. Really wasn't enjoying it. Could go back to the 9 to 5 but increasingly thinking I'd love to be self-employed (Was self-employed in the past so know what it involves). I guess so many mums on here have said the same, but I'd like to have something flexible around my baby and future children.
I think I've got the personality for coaching and I've always really enjoyed fitness and exercise despite being out of shape at the minute. I was thinking i could run a Boot Camp style fitness business and/or mommy and baby fitness classes..
My current salary is £30k and I'd like to earn at least that fairly quickly (1-2 years). Ideally I'd like to earn £60k+ but realize that is really dependent on how big I can make the business and I'd have to employ other instructors or franchise at that level and it won't happen overnight.
Thoughts?
