As a busy dad of three who drives a truck for a living and spends a few days out of town every week, it's difficult for me to grasp the idea of transitioning from this lifestyle to being a full-time personal trainer. My fiancé works predominantly remote. You guys have changed my life and allowed me to find my purpose, which is training, and I'm forever thankful. I now have my NASM certification and am eager to fully engage in this new chapter of my life while not compromising my ability to financially provide for my family. Am I overthinking and should I make the jump to full-time personal training? Or is there a better way to gradually enter this career change? Thank you so much.
