So many personal trainers start their careers fueled by passion, only to find themselves running on fumes a few years in. If you want a long-term personal training career, avoiding burnout isn’t optional—it’s essential. This episode of The Solo Trainer Podcast dives into how to build a sustainable career that lasts, not one that drains the life out of you.
A lot of us became trainers because we love helping people transform—not just physically, but mentally and emotionally. Yet over time, the long hours, emotional output, and constant demands can smother that initial spark. If you’ve ever caught yourself wondering, “Can I really do this for the long haul?” then this conversation is going to feel like a breath of fresh air.
