How do I at 53 years old, break into the fitness industry myself?
Female, employed, fit, newly single, enthusiastic and motivated and do not want to be in a personal training class or school where all the students and instructor are much younger with completely different goals than myself simply due to our different stages in life. I want to help baby boomers like myself live life to the fullest! I live in Houston, Texas
Hello Kim Gloger,
I am so grateful for the ACE Personal Trainer course offered at a college. I was pleasantly surprised by the very diverse group of students…we all learned from each other.
I understand what you are feeling; I also felt that way going in; but, it was not that way at all: all age groups, male and female, entering the field for different reasons. The instructors are also very experienced and knowledgeable.
I poured whatever energy I could muster up into making sure I passed the course and tests the first time and could not be happier.
No worries; but, I do recommend taking a course with some help from somewhere to be sure you are educated as much as possible; since, this is a career dealing with others’ health.
Good luck to you; I am sure you will also be pleasantly surprised.
Take care,
Natalie aka NAPS 2 B Fit.
