Is 45 too old to retrain as a personal trainer?

[zippyswife]

Probably should have done this 10 years ago when I was first considering it…. But I didn’t.

revisiting it now as I would like to ultimately package myself as a wellness and fitness coach… (so looking at mental well-being and physical coaching) potentially as 1:1 or ultimately as consulting to businesses on their well-being/wellness for staff.

But looking at starting by doing my PT training then adding coaching training as an additional layer.

just wanted thoughts as whether this is a thing… whether it’s too late to launch into this…

i currently work loosely within well-being and mental health but would like to step it up a notch.

Hard to get work because so many people doing it, the internet classes have taken some of the market, and cost of living crisis means people cut back on PT

It very much depends on the area you are in. In my area there are plenty of very successful affluent women 50+ and 60+ with grown children and plenty of disposable income.
