I've wanted to become certified as a professional fitness trainer, aerobics instructor or something along those lines.
Is there anyone in this field whom I can pm to get more information on how you went about it?

Thank you

my brother did it for awhile. there are no benefits and you don't make any money.

and when you get injured, then what?

SaraG, first of all I wouldn't only be doing it for the money. People in this business CAN make some money- although not a ton.
I want to do this because it is something that I really enjoy, I could probably make my own hours.
As far as injuries, I'll worry about that if (not when) c"v something happens.
As far as benefits, my husbands work covers that.

So if anyone has anything HELPFUL I'd appreciate it.
