What kind of work do you do? I really want to get certified and start training people on the side as well but got so much going on for the next few months that even considering that aint an option
I'm uspa certified power lifting coach.
I'm getting my nasm now.
I bounce 3 times a week at a couple bars.
I also do basic property maintenance at a few locations. Which is basically trash removal and clean up homeless camps.
Sacramento has a huge homeless problem. So I go at 4am and make the bums leave the business property and clean all the stuff they leave behind.I usually just give them 5 bucks and they leave no problem. Sometime I got choke somebody out. Lots of times its a couple that are just out tweaking looking to get high. So I explain that they got to go in 10 minutes here's 10 bucks and that's that. Then I do a dump run and that's 200$ before 10am.
Bouncing is 10-2am and that's 200$ a night.
I've got 4 steady clients that I train. Only one has any talent he's 17 years old and weighs 150lbs he's deadlift g 405. Squat will be 315 in a week or so. Bench is 235 paused. I enjoy that one and do it for protein powder and pre workout.
Training is hard for me because I really only want to train power lifters. Fat loss coaching and functional stuff is where the money is at.
I do ok. But I would like to train fulltime.
I need to give it 100%. I know the guy who's head of the trainers at Urijah Faber gym here in Sacramento. He offered me a job.
But there is a lot of sales involved. And I've worked basically for myself for 7 years I'm not sure I want a boss.
Me and my friend are building a home gym now in a barn. Its going to have everything for powerlifting. Once that's done next year I may get real serious about hustling up clients.
There's a lot of work out there when the economy is on fire people spend on training......just spend in general. I could work 7 days a week right now and probably will for next 6 months to pay for GH.
The GH does have me energized. My mood is fantastic, I find myself talking to strangers just about anything at the store or gas station.
There's a lady I talked to today that walks dogs. She came by where I was working and she had all the beautiful full bred dogs.
Huskies chocolate labs Pomeranian and the badest most muscular, bullterrier I've ever seen. Sick ass dog with viens all over its forearms. So I start yapping with this lady and the dogs are all over me playing and stuff. She say, you ever think about walking dogs.? I go for money.? She say " I pay 30$ an hour for dog walkers, about 5 hours a day". Now all I can think about is walking dogs hahaha. Dosnt sound too bad.
So there's lots of stuff out there. Walking around yolked up has it advantages. People are automatically interested.
So the GH is payed for I think my girl may start 1 iu a day that would help pay for things too.
