A freind of mine does it, advertises in a few gyms, seems to do okay, using it to pay his way through osteopath training now.

you need to know how to...

style your hair like david beckham

shag other peoples wives/girlfriends

write texts while your clients are doing their sets

get some sort of hindu tatoo on the inside of your bicep

be seen running through town wearing a rucksack full of bricks

oh....and have an entourage of little spiked haired kevs wearing football italia strips, that copy your workouts identically

its true that 90% of them are complete douchebags.

One told me that you should never consume more than 20g protein for breakfast, he said when bulking have 2 boiled eggs on toast and that will see you through til midday. Yeah cheers

I'm planning on doing exactly the same after University, buy myself some chillout time as a fitness instructor before starting as a PT.

Going to join LA Fitness as a Personal Trainer so I can prey on their gym members and they support you with marketing, etc. Build up a decent client base and eventually follow my dream of working out of a private training studio.
