Title: New Career
Post by: Brooks on February 01, 2007, 08:10:08 AM

I have an office job right now and want to change my career. I want to get into the gym/fitness/nutrition field somehow but don't know where to start or what exactly I want to do. I would mind going back to school for a bit but don't really  want to sit in college for four years.

Any suggestions?

Do you have a Bally or 24 Hour Fitness near you?  That's one easy way to get your foot in the door.  I've seen people go from the day care, to the front desk, to personal trainer at my 24 Hour Fitness.

Near my house are Gold's and LA Fitness. The only problem with that would be I'd probably start at low pay and not be able to pay the bills. But that might work if it started out as a second job.

whatever you choose, if you treat people right, work hard, and aren't stupid, you'll always be able to make a living doing what you like.
