Switching careers can feel risky, especially when you value stability. The good news? Personal training doesn’t have to start as an all-or-nothing leap. For many professionals, it begins as a meaningful and flexible second income, and grows from there.

In this ISSA webinar, you’ll hear from Joe Marro, an education administrator and former K–12 educator who transformed his own health, losing over 100 pounds naturally, and turned that momentum into a successful role in fitness. While continuing his work in education, Joe built a second income as a personal trainer and now serves as Director of Training at Gold’s Gym, mentoring trainers and leading a high-performing team.

Whether you're exploring fitness as a side path, a long-term pivot, or your first professional step, you’ll leave with a realistic roadmap for entering the industry with confidence.
