Kuri:
As someone (as you know) who works for one of those chains, it is hard. I personally think I got hired because I have the 'look' to be a trainer, not necessarily to sell or even the knowledge (taking NSCA-CPT this month). Anyway, someday I'd like to open up my own facility and I'va made it clear, but personally I dont see the chain (I know which one you're looking at--as we;ve discussed via PM) as my future. I am using it for what it is, a foot in the door in the fitness industry. While at my current job I've met a great trainer, who I'm planning on writing a book/doing a DVD with but I can honestly say that if you don't get a job at the specific chain, dont get down because it's not always what you know...I have a ton of people on my staff who aren't even cert'd....PM me if u need more info.
