I think taking the fitness center route is the best move RIGHT NOW in your career. You are new to the profession. In a gym, you will learn what its like to sit across from a potential client and make a sale. A gym will teach you marketing tactics--mailers, seminars, brochures, tours, etc, etc. ---everything that will help you in the long run. On top of that, you will gain experience designing exercise programs for a multitude of people. I know its cliché to say 'go on your own", but if you "shine" at your gym among st other staff, you are sure to make an impact that will lead to bigger and better things.
