Personal Training

I'm considering training to be a Personal Trainer in my fifties.

Has anyone else done similar ?

Which company did you train with? Was the training how you expected and has your career panned out well?

I'm not expecting to become an overnight millionaire but just fancy doing something with my time that I will enjoy doing and can feel like I make a contribution to a) household finances b) my own personal growth and c) other people's health and happiness.

So far I've found a couple of training companies - which are a mix of online and practical learning.

Any tips and advice welcome

Thanks

Not something I know anything about, so I looked it up:

nationalcareers.service.gov.uk/job-profiles/personal-trainer

Did you find the companies you mention via this guidance, or otherwise?

And who are they - have you investigated their reputations??

It’s true it doesn’t look, initially, as if it’s a millionaire route - but you’ll have enviable fitness. And could probably create a niche online training persona - which may well make you rich.
