I am with John,

If you have never worked in the fitness industry before i would get a job in a gym doing FI or PT, this is where the real learning will start. You need time to practice all those skills that you have covered on your course and also develop the skills that are not so well covered such as client interaction and sales.

I normally advise that new trainers spendat least 6 to 12 months working in a gym before they even consider the self employed route.

SHodowing is a great way to learn! So if you can find a local trainer who would not mind you following them round for the day go for it! and definately train as many friends and relatives as possible!

Good luck in you new career!
