Personal Trainer - What next?

[HarrisonFit]

I finished my nutrition certification for NASM a while ago and I feel comfortable learning a bit more.

Any thoughts or opinions on what area / specializations I should look into?

It depend on what you are actually interested in, If you have no genuine interest in a specific area, no matter how lucrative it may seem, you will not do well. The other consideration is the actual market in your area. A strength specialist will not do so well in an area where it is mostly older ladies looking to "tone", it takes a lot of work to change the mindset of that particular demographic.

Online training is more about your marketing skills rather than your quality as a trainer. I personally have a Diploma in E-business (I have an extensive IT background) which supplements my fitness career rather than being my career like it was when I was a lot younger. However I prefer face to face as it allows for small correcting to technique in real time.
