Working 9 to 5 at a desk every day isn’t for everyone.
It can wear us down and make us feel stuck on the same wheel, going round and round.
But if you’ve thought about getting off that wheel, and becoming a personal trainer, you’re not alone.
Health and wellness is on the rise, more females and older people are going to the gym than ever before and training to become a PT is now available to do online.
Here are a few signs that might mean it’s time to think about a career move.
- You hate being sat down and stuck in the office all day
You want movement and freedom, rather than being in a chair all day, staring at a computer screen, and find it hard to stay still for eight hours.
- You Don’t Like Working set hours
Having to show up at the same time every day and work for those hours, can leave you feeling that you have no control over your career or life.
- Admin and paperwork frustrate you
Having to deal with a lot of paperwork, reports, spreadsheets and downright mundane filing can suck the soul out of your day. Especially if you’re someone who likes to be active and dynamic, and is brimming with energy.
- You don’t like authority for authority’s sake
It can be tough working in an environment where you have to answer to someone all of the time, and a lot of choices are made for you. This can be especially difficult if you have a micro-managing boss or are full of ideas but can never share them.
Although most of us will have had it ingrained in us that the 9-5 is the path to success, it’s no longer the only way to live.
A lot more people are now choosing to work in a way that suits them, with more flexibility.
Being a personal trainer allows you to be your own boss, stay active, have minimal admin and once you are successfully established, allows you to set your own hours.

So if you’re not the type of person to be in an office job, don’t spend years trying to make yourself like it or accept it.
Instead, take control and create a career that is right for you.
Life is too short to be stuck in a job that you don’t want to be in.
