Hi and welcome.

Before you get certified: Train family, friends... anyone who will let you. This is a great way to apply all the things you are in the process of learning.

After you get certified: Most trainers will tell you that your best bet is to work in a gym, even if it's just for a little while. You could also consider donating a few hours a week to training those who would not otherwise be able to afford personal training. (The underprivileged, older adults, etc.)
