Hi

I'm 23 years old, been studying fitness related stuff since I was 18. I've been working out for six years and have decided I am interested and dedicated enough to make a career doing this.

Here's a few questions, I'm becoming certified through American Council on Exercise.

I plan on moving to Pigeon Forge, Tennessee and working at one of their gyms. The salary isn't something I'm too worried about, as long as I can start at $10 per hour I'll be satisfied. Do you think that's too much to ask for just starting out? It's pretty much required before you can afford an apartment there is why I ask. The cheapest apartment I found was $650.

I plan on working for a gym, NOT freelance (if that's what it means).

Can you do that? Apply at a gym and them give you an hourly salary?

How do you know which gyms to look for?

Is work consistent? Meaning will you go six months without getting paid?
