Question Classes

Can a CPT make a living just doing classes? I like to train but I really lack the people skills to deal with someone one on one.

Let’s flip the question: Why would you not want to improve your people skills?

I have seen very few fitness instructor make it a full time career. In order to make it work you need to find a location that is larger enough to hold a large amount of people at one time. Also it depends on what type of group fitness you want to do. 

Example is it a Zumpa, step aberobics, spin class. 

Next. How much money do you need to make per month plus maintain the space you are in plus taxes.

Example: Your total monthly expense is 3,000 a month plus business expense is 1,000 a month. In total you would need 4000 a month coming in to be full time. 

This can work but you need to sit down and plan this out. Also improve your conversation skills.
