Calling fitness instructors/personal trainers!!!!!!!?!
Question: I am a 22 year old female, i am wondering if it's too late to start to train to be a fitness instructor? I don't go to the gym but want to start to go, i don't need to lose weight i just want to tone up and improve my general fitness. So i am wondering if it's too late for me to train my body to do this job? Thank you in advance for any info. :-)

No, some people start at 40 years of age... But I will tell you this, there are people out there who are trainers, and never lifted a weight in their life, or ran on a treadmill!!! Personal training has nothing to do with how you rate physically, although I would imagine a personal trainer should not be fat, otherwise it would make you look like a hypocrite. There are a number of tests you could take to become certified as a personal trainer, which you can search for online.. The tests are around 500 dollars and are pretty hard. You need to study up before you take them. Once you become a personal trainer, you can get a job at a gym as a personal trainer, and they will assign you people to train based on your strengths and the client's expectations. They will probably pay you around 25 dollars an hour for that. This will ensure you a steady income, but you can also start your own website and train people 1 on 1 without going through an intermediary, and you would get more money this way..
good luck
Honey, you have your whole life in front of you....it's never too late!
If you want it, go for it!
