I’ve been working in the fitness industry for 20+ years. I started part time as a personal trainer in late highschool and kept up with it as a side gig during my university years. Oddly enough, I studied business/finance and decided to pursue a career in banking rather than fitness. Fitness remained a side gig as I tried to climb the corporate ladder. 7 years into our careers, my husband, who was an accountant, and I decided that we couldn’t keep up with this life for another 30+ years. Together, we quit our 9-5 (which really was more like an 8-6), salary, commute and all, and I went back to personal training, expanded my knowledge with nutrition, yoga, and pre-post natal exercise and recovery courses, and my husband became a massage therapist. We will be forever grateful that we were able to make this transition and love what we do.
