Job as Personal Trainer

I am an avid fitness enthusiast from Italy and am interested in securing a position as a trainer in a Los Angeles gym. Can you guide me in that pursuit? Could I interview with you for a job at your gym?

I commend you for your accomplishments and wish I was in a position to be of some help. I have retired from the gym business (2005) and am solely involved with writing projects. At 69, my training is important, but I play a less active role in the fitness industry. Writing for IronOnline has become my thing.

Unfortunately the American market is saturated with young and older men and women with fitness degrees and certifications seeking positions similar to those you suggest, and they are available for in-person interviews.

I wouldn’t know where to start to find serious employment in the fitness industry. So sorry, my earnest friend…

Godspeed in your healthy endeavors… Dave Draper
