How do I get started in a fitness career?
After losing 100 lbs and developing a passion for life-changing fitness and wellness, I would like to pursue a career in fitness where I can help others change their lives, too. I would like to write about fitness (I currently write for a fitness blog for college students), be a group fitness instructor (and maybe someday a personal trainer!), and/or work with a non-profit dedicated to wellness. I already have an advanced degree, but not in this field at all! Is going back to school for exercise science the best way to go? Or is it possible to build experience without a formal degree? I want to make a difference but I’m not sure where to start!
Congrats Brittney,
I want to thank everyone for commenting on this page it has helped to motivate me even more and also give me an idea of the route I want to take with my future. I would like to also speak on the fact that being active and healthy isn’t only about our weight. I have used my active and healthy lifestyle to help me fight anxiety, stress, addiction and obesity.
This has helped me to develop a goal to start an organization that supports individuals in fragile and challenging times in their lives using an active, healthy and positive lifestyle!!
I am working on an organization called TRIAFFECT Fitness, Health and Wellness. I am at a little bit of a loss for where to begin, but I am still writing and working on a website every day TRIAFFECT-Fitness.com (not yet complete). In the mean time I am an active duty military member. I say this because I want you to know that if it is something you want bad enough you will find the way. Stick to your plan and good luck.
