Fitness Instructors/Personal Trainers - age range?

icekool · 10-25-2003, 02:24 PM

whats the typical age range of PTs' or Fitness Instructors??, my younger brother has been asking me if he is too old and i am not really sure what to tell him except that I have seen guys from early 20's to mid 40's but mainly young.

Any replies appreciated

forgot to add, he is 34

34 is not too old! It's all about how good he is, age doesn't matter. I'm 20 and a personal trainer, but I find that my young age can be a disadvantage sometimes

Tell him to go for it

not even close to too old. the best trainer at my old gym was a woman in her early 60s with grandchildren. i know that sounds crazy but she knew the most, was the best with working with people and had a heck of a bicep peak!

If you want to achieve things that others can't... You have to do things that others won't.
