If you are a gym owner who employs personal trainers, OR if you are a P.T. employed by a gym, what is the general vibe you are getting once gyms reopen and restrictions begin to get lifted? Do you feel there will be a NEED for more P.T.'s OR do you feel there the demand will be less.
Here is why I am asking. I just got my "official" P.T. certificate and I was looking into working part-time as a trainer at one of the local gyms this summer. I am not concerned about the money aspect, I am good there. I am just looking to do something I enjoy part-time and since I have always been a gym rat and like to help people I figured I would find a job in this field. The question I have is, will there be any demand for it? I am thinking that the owners will lay-off most of their P.T.'s and only keep the top producers. Or, is the vibe that many of the P.T.'s are jumping ship and looking for more stable careers now...which would mean there would be a demand for more trainers????
