The Best Things About Being a Personal Trainer
 The Best Personal Trainer Stories
When working on the path towards being a personal trainer, it helps to think about what the best part of being a personal trainer is for you. There are a lot of different things that can inspire you about the job, since it’s easily one of the most satisfying jobs in the world. Here are a few examples.
Sharing Your Experience
One common thing that people often site as being the best part of being a personal trainer is how they get to share their experiences with others. Many people start down the road to this profession by having troubles with their personal health and fitness themselves. It’s common for future trainers to be unhappy with the way their body looks, or with how they feel physically. They might spend too much time hanging around and not really doing anything, and not enough time going after their goals. As a result, many trainers think the best part of being a trainer is using the energy they created through getting themselves in order and passing it on to other people.
Watching Progress
Another common reason cited as the best part of being a personal trainer is the fact that you get to watch someone make progress and improve. It can be one of the most rewarding things in the world to watch someone become motivated, to decide that they actually do have the power to change their lives and their goals, as well as their bodies, and improve on that goal on a week to week basis. As far as a rewarding job, there are few things better than that feeling according to many trainers. It leaves you feeling like the best personal trainer in the world!
Rebuilding Someone’s Self Image
 Helping someone become physically fit often has a much greater effect than just on their body. If you can help them learn how to be healthier, it can often completely transform their self-image as well.
Many trainers take great pride in watching people gain more confidence. It can be gratifying to watch your efforts turn someone into a person who believes in themselves and their own abilities.
Being Your Own Boss
 Another reason to love being a personal trainer, especially an independent one, is that you get to be your own boss. Many independent trainers have remarked about how great it is to have complete control over your own life and finances, and how enjoyable it is to be your own boss.
