Know Any Older Personal Trainers? - Personal Trainer Community - Forum

[srcurran]

Hi-

I am 55 and thinking about getting my certification. I would like to visit with some Personal Trainers that are 50+.

Also, do you think being over 50 makes any difference in developing your business?

Thanks,

Steve

Hey!

I'm 60 this month and it hasn't slowed me down! I think people respect our life experience as well as our expertise.

I agree, age is not an issue. If you can bring good knowledge/value to your future clients, then that's all that matters.

I just hired a 55 year old guy who was an athletic trainer for a Uni, age=experience+knowledge, cant be beat

Yes, age shouldn't and often also doesn't matter... In the eyes of a client the more experience you have the better...

I know quite some PT's that are above 40+ and most of them do this job for a long time already and have really a lot of knowledge
