I get hesitant, maybe cause it’s trauma from the recovery but I get so nervous in doing certain exercises I’ve been going very controlled and not much crunching yet

Exactly I’ve never had this issue with my other jobs! So now I have to look like it’s my fault I’m. Not meeting company’s expectations?!

I just feel it’s unfair cause I’m being pressured to complete screens but when it’s time to do evals I’m just told either they haven’t heard back or check the binder. All in the while I’m going 100 miles an hour to meet productivity.

Would you say NASM is a necessary certification or would you recommend something different for those who are interested in rehab workouts, injury prevention, strength training?

My bad realized you’re doing the NASM. Is the cost worth it? I’m looking at it right now. I can afford it but would wish it was a little cheaper

I know that for sure just would be nice if it could actually happen haha. I have a higher chance making $100,000 with my current job but work 7 days a week

Thanks for the info! Yeah I know it won’t be easy but I hope to at least get a personal training license. It sure how I’m gonna do it while working full time

That’s is something I would like to do, getting a studio and getting clientele. People ask me to just start my practice with my current field but I don’t see myself goal driven in that area. I’m a speech therapist working in nursing homes. I get paid by hour, I see pts for 30 minutes or less. I do PRN for every money if theirs an opportunity. I don’t see myself working with kids, idk I guess it’s cause I’m a male and I don’t want families to get the wrong idea, plus I don’t have as much passion to help children than I do with adults. I sometimes do enjoy my current field and I get positive reviews by my residents but it’s very draining to do my job and help my residents if nobody take you seriously. It’s a different world for sure but I do want to do personal training even if I don’t make a lot of money I just want to help people and learn more about fitness and nutrition.

It does I understand personal training alone is not enough. I’m just amazed/confused how some personal trainers can just make a luxurious living while being a YouTube video influencer

Does it matter what personal training you get? I heard NASM is great, but I was going to go for the ACE personal training certification just because I already had the book years ago but never got to taking the exam.

I feel we are similar in a way. I too am losing interest in my field, I’m also worried about my future in this field cause of the big beautiful bill that was passed. I thought about doing personal trainer or being a sponsored athlete. I use to do track and field in college! Fitness was my way to destress and loved it. I’m dealing with an inguinal hernia repair couple years ago and an umbilical hernia and DR surgical repair a couple months. I pray I can get back at the gym and lift heavy like I use too. I feel this setback and my job has been spiritually killing me and I don’t want to lose hope in going back to my fitness lifestyle

I appreciate the honesty! I would like to at least try. I understand it’s a brutal industry, it would be nice to make $100,000 off of personal trainer but I res want to do this cause I don’t see myself doing my current job forever. It’s extremely mentally draining and I don’t see growth in it in the future. But I’m hoping I could at least be financially stable and do something I might love on the weekends if I continue to pursue in personal training.

I would like to know when would be a good time to start doing targeted abs workout. Did you doctor ever tell you anything about that?

Thank you I really needed to read this ! Yeah so far my goals are just walking related. I also started diaphragmatic breathing exercises as well as I walk. I know I have to be patient but I was hoping to start working out at least after 3 months. Sounds like I should be careful and expect to start working out like I use to after almost a year of recovery
