Pros
Opportunities to make a high income as a personal trainer Ability to help people achieve their fitness goals. For those who are dedicated, there are opportunities for advancement Ability to set your own schedule once you establish yourself as consistently able to bring in 10k revenue (again this takes time and dedication but it is certainly attainable) They don't hire anybody off the street to train. They require some form of certification, plus the attainment of NASM CPT within the first 6 months of employment
Cons
Takes time and dedication to get your personal business up and running Some clubs perform better than others. Know that the club you work at can effect your earning potential Until you are consistently hitting the 10K monthly revenue mark, you are cemented into a 6am-3pm or a 1pm-9pm schedule, and one of your assigned workdays is on the weekend
