After college I really got into fitness and it’s something I’ve stuck with ever since. I still kind of wish I would have gone the physical therapy route, but I feel like it might be too late for that now. I’m about 10 years into my current career working as a news videographer, and I’ve been thinking a lot about making a change.
I’ve been looking into getting NASM certified and possibly moving into personal training. I also have a family now and more financial responsibilities, so I’m trying to figure out if this is something that could realistically start as a side hustle before potentially turning into full time work.
One concern I have is I’m not really jacked or super lean. I’m sure I could get there if I focused on it, but right now I’ve mostly been prioritizing strength and mobility for myself. I do keep up with fitness content, reading and watching stuff regularly, but I still feel like I have a lot to learn.
I just feel like this kind of work would fit me well. I’m not really interested in working with athletes or bodybuilding clients. I’m more interested in helping regular people move better and feel better in their bodies.
Would appreciate any thoughts from people who have gone down this path or something similar.
