Hi, my name is looep! A PT with barriers to exercise themselves
Options
I don’t consider myself disabled or didn’t but have chronic back pain and am dyslexic. I think I’m going to have to leave my job because I just can’t continue being in this much pain all the time. I think it’s made worse by stress of trying to fit into peoples little boxes when my brain doesn’t work that way.
In a past life I was a personal trainer and hold a degree. I was wondering what peoples thoughts were on hiring a PT with barriers to exercise themselves.
Would a private studio be better than a gym? Or home training? Would money be a problem for most? Maybe this could be overcome with charity funding. Im just throwing ideas about at the moment. I want to work so figure following a passion instead of a job might be the solution. Any advice or ideas would be very welcome.

Welcome to the community @looep
I'm sorry to hear that your current job isn't working out. But it's good to hear that you have some ideas about what you'd like to do next.
I definitely think that it'd be possible for someone who faces barriers to exercise to become a personal trainer. In fact, I think it could be a really positive thing. Have you thought about whether you'd be interested in specialising in working with disabled people?Would money be a problem for most?What do you mean by this?0
