How may I take my fitness career much further?

[Anonymous]

I want to become a personal trainer and help people, but the thing with me is that I just don't want to become any regular type of personal trainer I want to be professional in this fitness industry. So, I decided that I want a PhD in something that has to do with fitness and nutrition but I don't know yet.

Can anybody give me any advice?

You don't need a PhD to make it big in the Fitness world, if you want a PhD don't become a personal trainer, become like a sports doctor or something. To make it big in the fitness world you need to have 3 keys:
1. A great body (and a marketable face)
2. Personality (look at everyone who is big in the fitness world, there personality stands out, look up Chris Jones on YouTube he has a great personality)
3. Charm, you need to be able to make people feel like a million bucks, and you need to be able to attract a fan base who want to go see you or pay you to train them. this is very hard to do and at the end of the day you either have it or you don't
4. Build a big following on IG and FB, if you wanna get sponsored or just become a superstar you need to have a fanbase

To get a PhD is intense. First get an Associates or Bachelors. You can start as a Personal Trainer to get the feeling of the field.

You can always study kinesiology or sports medicine.
