I once considered being a personal trainer – I knew somebody that was and went through everything you discussed in this video. It really isn’t worth it at all.
Tottaly agreed with you man !
Very true
Gotta listen to the positives and the negative side when considering a career so this information is invaluable ππΏ
Thanks πͺ
Screw you bro. I am 23 and fitness has been a daily part of my life since I was 14. I work as a Lawn care professional and Budtender and I want to help people!!! You sound like YOU are in it for the money mr $150 an hour. π€£π€£
Sounds better than Buffalo wilds wings π€·ββοΈ
Kinda a downer lol
Of course people gunna want your advice when they find out your a trainer
And being less healthy and not working out would be your personal choice omg dude
Sounds like maybe you should re train and find another career cause you just a massive downer I wouldnβt hire you as my trainer because you seem very uninterested in it
So so helpful thank you
I would definitely have a 60 year old experienced accomplished trainer over a 25 year old commercial minded good talker π
Sounds to me as though someone can’t stand that his clients are turning to "less educated" personal trainers. If someone wants to have an aesthetically desired physique and live a better quality of life because of it, they’re gunna turn (and be sold) to a charismatic and athletic looking (buff) salesman. The average person doesn’t wanna pay for a ‘strength coach’ or whatever you wanna call yourself just because you can spit out all kinds of textbook lingo, and confuse them with fancy kinesiology terms. Should have chosen a better college major; you would have saved a fortune on student loan debt, and wouldn’t have to scam your clients.
Pros and cons are in every job.
This is one of the worst youtube videos ive ever seen, sounds like youβre projecting your own failures as a trainer more than anything. Big crybaby. i see why youβre making YouTube videos complaining rather than actually being the trainer you say you are
Good video and topic.
I love training and I’ve been thinking of gotten my personal training certificate so im trying to find out information about it, of course I want to make money but this video didnt help me at all sad
Iβve never complained about someone asking for tips or exercises when Iβm not working…I just invite them to come workout..
Sounds like you in it for all the wrong reasons lol. Crazy negative video prolly not tryna have to compete with anyone
yeah okay, no, cuz fuck you. honestly, wtf even is this video. "Personal training SUCK" "i love it, i still do it, BUT it might not me for you". SHUT UP. not your place to tell people not to become a PT. It is almost like you do not want competition. your reason arent even valid. jeez this man.
This guy sucks so much lol
1. Time
2. Money
3. Social life
4. Become less healthy
5. Short career
Well so many client to much asking and drama and talk tomuch and ask tomuch question
Booooo! I stopped at #2. How can you tell people watching this video "It can be a successful career but chances are..not for you"
Don’t listen to this guy..help build the conciousness not keep it stationary and stangnat. If it’s your passion then run with the ball as fast as you possibly can and don’t stop when you hear people like this say things like that.
Time: have them buy packages and pre pay before scheduling.
Pay: if your actually good results will help your pay scale
Social life: sure i would love to help you with any problems, let me show you my program pricings
Less healthy: dont take clients who conflict with sleep, work out with your clients dumb dumb. Jeeze you have a masters and cant figure this stuff out?
I did once have a consultation with an older trainer who was not in very good shape (he had a bit of a belly, etc.). At the very least, a trainer should be in better condition than the average person, I would think!! This guy didn’t seem very fit at all.
As someone who has a flexible schedule, I have also known a couple of trainers who expected you to work around THEIR schedule, which was so sh* te; shifting my regular appointments at the last minute to fill up gaps in their schedule or suit their family carpool, not my own schedule. This is so unfair to your paying clients!! If trainers put themselves first all of the time, it WILL come across to the client and you will not develop a loyal clientele, which will hurt you in the long run!
Later on, I worked with an EXCELLENT trainer who owned his own outfit. He was top-notch, and never ever shifted my appointments and always gave 110% (I got in great shape with him too).
My advice to young trainers if you truly want to make this into a career, is to have a goal of running your own outfit and make sure you put your clients FIRST. I think the important thing is to select a location where you aren’t paying too much for rent but still can get a good mid- and upper-mid-range clientele going. If you are clever about your pricing and offerings, you will be very successful.
For example, my trainer offered super-tough 30-minute sessions but allowed you to tack on 15 minutes of free stairclimber to make it 45. That way, he could either do TWO sessions an hour or get some time off between clients to do paperwork and other tasks. I think he priced things that way to make the sessions more affordable (short 30-minute sessions priced cheaper than 45 minutes, yet he allowed you to still get a full 45-minute workout by tacking on cardio) for the area he was in, which offered cheaper rent than more premium locations. He also offered small-group training, which presumably was more profitable to him on an hourly basis and always had one or two trainers working for him on a part-time basis. From what I could tell he was very successful and although I have moved away, years on he is still in the same location with an active business.
Anyway, just some thoughts.

Hi I am working as software engineer for 10 years….I want to do anything other than staring at computer screen whole day…..I love fitness but having age 41 and also an introvert person….I think if I do trainer course atleast I will get knowledge
I wouldnβt say the money is great. Some places are paid by session, with minimum working hours. If you donβt have clients you donβt get paid, although you might have one 30 minutes later. As in 8 hour day but only 6 sessions. A whole hour youβre not paid.
Lmao this guyβs a hater all the degrees donβt make you good its doing it yourself for so long and then teaching people thatβs the best degree and btw you donβt look like a personal trainer more like a math teacher
Hi coach. I am nearly 50 years omd.and i am really motivated in becoming a coach.despite my age so pleade give me spme tools that i can include in my training.thanks.
This guy is thinking small that’s why
Become very famous social media trainer. Get as many sponsors as posible for everything you can think of. That’s source of income or a way to get by with free stuff for the company you are promoting. On top of that your clients.
But one thing he’s right tho, if you are in it just for the money then it’s not for you
#3 was the whiniest shit I’ve ever seen. Wow
Appreciate the honesty ππ
Would it be better to get into home exercise/care/nutrition for older people?
My best personal trainer was in his late forties and he knew far more than my trainers who were in their twenties and thirties. Also I love being asked fitness questions
If personal training sucks! Your in the wrong business my friend. It takes a very special person to have that type of passion & dedication to help other improve their life. You have to understand the industry to make it in the industry.
All these bitchers and whiners… this is what happens when you find out you were never the savage animal you thought you was… number 5, bro? Shit, if you old and looking like that old sly silver fox, you devil, let me in on that. I’ll take Horton and Schwarzenegger over you anytime!

Hi coach
You shouldn’t post this shit it doesnt suck lol
I work as a doctor full time and as a personal trainer part time. I’m never been disappointed from training people even that I live in Albania and here is a poor country with just a little people who offer money for training. But like every job has its own disadvantages sometimes becomes boring by routine or too demanding to handle.
Deposit a check at the bank? This is 2022 no one does that. Use your phone.
Iβm passionate about exercise and diet but not as a career, now. Great video, thank you.
thank you!
I mean I see alot of these comments and I think most of them are missing the point this is real world experiences that any wide eye optimistic aspiring pt should consider it’s not to discredit the Industry.
Good to know….thanks for sharing
Your fucked lol
Try working as a plumber for a 24/7 companyβ¦
Thanks I just now decided to become a personal PT in Australia so I didn’t truly expect this to be the result π but thanks for your experience really appreciate your opinion about the industry. Thank you π
True. Iam feel the same as a personal trainer.
I dont really listen to βReAsOnS WhY tHiS cArEeR sUcKsβ videos anymore cause in reality most jobs suck and lead to bad health. Its really up to the individual what works best for you.
I am a yoga teacher and thinking about getting neta certification. How would this improve my yoga teaching career? I don’t know much about personal training but I am interested in teaching private yoga lessons
