How good of shape should you be in to be a personal trainer?

[[email protected]]

Hi all!
I've been interested in health and fitness ever since I can remember. Becoming a PT would be my dream job. My problem is I've been skinny all my life so I'm worried about not relating to clients. I'm also concerened about not being in good enough shape. I'm not in bad shape. I can run 14+ k and I'm good at cardio but I'm quite petite and do not have the upper body strength I think I should have. What tips can you give me??

be like most of the personal trainers at the PowerHouse Gym, old and ugly! lol

Would you take marriage advice from someone married a year when you are married 10 year?

Now we are talking about life stories here! The guy with the most money maybe a crook and the guy being married for ten years may have women on the sidelines. I can't trust neither of them. I'd trust my own instincts.

you gotta be a product of what you're selling... of course people are gonna wanna be trained by someone they want to look like

but at the same time, heart and passion can carry you a long way if you establish yourself. but...fact remains, unfortunately, in this world people are driven by what they see

Psizzle is right, you are selling yourself. Best be in shape for and as proof of what you are trying to sell. Dedicated and Passion for not olny your personal goals but the goals of others, and ready to push them to all new highs to archive them.
