I think there are some. I hate people though so I would not be a good trainer. I have no patience for people's BS.
I am thinking about doing diet coaching though.

I was I'm looking for a good personal training studio right now. Most big gyms will take all your money. Best advice I have is to find a good studio or gym that only asks for 25%. I know cats at LA fitness and lifetime out her scruggling while the gym is making $30 an hour off there clients...the most annoying thing about the ace certification is the continuing education classes u need to keep the certification up every year. That shyts annoying af...best advice I have is to become a certified dietician as well so u can add diet advice and set up meal plans. U can TAX muffucas for meal plans and meal prep nowadays but as a personal trainer u can't even talk about diet because it is not within your scope of practice.
Yeah my goal would be to get a job at a higher end gym in a wealthy part of the city. I'm not working in my area lol.
I can't talk about diet/nutrition at a gym with clients? Or just not put them on a meal plan but give them "diet advice" ? And how long it's gonna take me to become a certified dietitian mane?
already got a 4-year degree

no you always have to stay within your scope of practice. I mean its not like someone's going to b over your shoulder but scope of practice is the first thing they teach you when going for the ace trainer cert. As a trainer if a client asks you medical advice you would refer them to a physician. If someone asks diet advice you would refer them to a dietician. If someone asks a dietician training advice they would refer them to you and on goes the cycle. I think the diet stuff is a bachelors and than a certification which is why I dont have it. Its too much school for me personally. You could still sell meal plans but you would have to be careful with how you word things....VERY carefulYeah my goal would be to get a job at a higher end gym in a wealthy part of the city. I'm not working in my area lol.

Dont connect your personal training to your meal prep at all. Just put it out there on the sly
Yeah cuz I see a lot of cats selling meal plans online and I know they didn't go to school lol....they are just CPTs.....good looks on the info man
Its a losing hustle unless you own the facilities to train people. Or train at a park.
