What I liked

Teaching fitness changed my life. I found my passion and purpose, which is to help others attain their goals and inspire people to be the best they can be. I always say that I have the best job ever. I get to jump around and move all day, while building connections with my participants.

What I wish was different

I wish the pay was higher.

Advice

If you are looking to become a fitness instructor, get certifications and stay updated on knowledge. Information is always changing and being current with trends helps you create a safe environment. Also work on your counselling skills. People will always be telling you their problems, and it helps if you are an empathetic person.
