This is me not working out and eating sloppy, 195 lbs. It looks like I still have a commanding appearance with my broad shoulders, platted pecs, thick lower body and approachable face. I've been trained by personal trainers at Gold's before and they are kinda shrimpy compared to me personally.
Pretty much my peak natty physique before covid interrupted training. 181 lbs.
Do you guys think I have what to takes to train and inspire other people in their fitness journey? I also took anatomy in college so know a lot about the human body, along with nutrition and other bio classes.

My buddy had tried his hand at personal training and being a fitness coach.
Ditched his data analyst job, did some local nutrition course and maybe a cert, but he had his own home gym and actually was training clients.
Maybe I'll ask him how much he makes

Don't think you'll make a decent amount of money unless you live in a place with a high cost of living and it'll take a while to get established but chase your dreams. I've seen fat PTs so what you look like really doesn't matter these days ROFL

Being a good PT has very little to do with how you look, TBH. IF you saw my physique I look athletic, but not intimidating which is the real key to landing clients. Have been running my own successful PT business for twenty years.
Knowledge of anatomy or whatever is part of it, but being first of all good at sales, second being able to empathize and give people realistic advice that works for them, and third finding a niche you enjoy learning about, can focus on and become an expert at are the three keys to success. And protip: if you focus on weight loss or bodybuilding you're a dime a dozen. Find something else.
Go get a basic cert and start working at a chain gym before you quit your day job - you'll find out pretty quickly if it's the job for you.

Any background in human kinetics or anatomy and physiology?
Nutrition courses? Any specific training for different groups such as older people?
I have a solid background in university level human kinetics, human movement, anatomy and physiology, exercise science, and even university weight training courses. Had a girlfriend for 8 years who was a trainer, did fitness competitions (and won them all)... and was trained by #5 ranked Canadian heavyweight bodybuilder at the time.
That said, its super easy to take a 19 year old kid and double his lifts, or make someone with goals like yourself look a bit better, but doing age specific stuff for older people, extremely overweight people, or sport specific stuff can be a hell of a lot different. I myself wouldn't attempt it, but have trained young guys because tis fkin easy to look like a rock star.
Its easy to be a personal trainer, its much harder to be a great one. I used to hang out with a guy who was training NHL teams while still in University. Guy was 5' tall, 125 lbs, and would squat 225 for reps of 10 on a fkin exercise ball just for jokes.
I guess what I am getting at is that anyone can look good, and become a personal trainer, but being a good one takes more than just looking good.Rep SoapKing on sight crew.

^^^^ Adding to Hutrapper's positive post: You need better than average SALES ability, better than average communication/interpersonal skills (e.g.;empathy; reliability; focus) and good teaching ability. You need to be likable and look approachable.
You also need to work in an affluent area (DesireUser is right) to make enough money. It will be even harder to succeed outside of a gym now due to the pandemic; many people have opted for some dumbells, plates and barbells and home cardio equipment that has built-in automated trainers to take out "guess-work." If they don't want or need the personal feedback, support or direction of a live person, they'll just save money and use this method of "training" instead.Fact: My first-generation uncle was a boxer who fought Sugar Ray Robinson! He also fought in the war, sacrificing the career he deeply loved, so people could have the right to freedom.
Let's show RESPECT for the POLICE and ALL FIRST RESPONDERS by helping to keep THEM SAFE AND SOUND, and thereby able to PROTECT US!
