Wanting to Work in Fitness ? ?

Hello, i am looking to get into fitness , it was sothing that i was going to do a few years ago but illness prevented me into doing it. I am lookning to get back into it again and hopfully start a course.

First problem, i am not fully better from my illness (stomach issues) but i can work through it.

Second of all my fitness is now embarrasing, but i am working on improving it within the next few months. Its somthing i know i can do.

I will be moving out of Ireland in 8 months and i would like to have some course done in that time were i can start working in a gym.

Can anybody help me on what course of action i need ?

Also my training will be starting on this monday the 24th.

Right now i am not fit, over weight at 15stone 6 pounds. I changed my diet 2 weeks ago when i was 16 stone 3 pounds.
From monday i will be on my full diet (healthy) and i will post my weight change also .Well thats if anybody is interested, but its good motivation for me too.

I have a huge beer belly even though i dont drink beer. I hit 26 and this thing just grew. But going to try loose that too. So i would appriciate any encouragment or tips
Thanks Dre

You'd probably want to allow yourself some more time to get in shape before that; I don't think any gym would appreciate the potential effect an unfit/overweight person offering fitness advice might have on their credibility, I know I certainly wouldn't.

I read a story, can't remember if it was this forum, and it was about a customer who just refused to take a session in the gym because her personal trainer was actually really fat? Crazy! In the sense of having a fat fitness instructor that is, not refusing her services....

Working in a GYM = Long unsociable hours + ****e pay.

Go for a GYM management course if you want decent hours and to make any sort of a living.

hehe...
I used to work out in a gym back home in Clare before I moved away to college. Basically every instructor was overweight/unfit and still writing out fitness programs for clients. It was rediculous.
By far the funniest thing was every Tues/Thurs evening if I remember correctly, a woman at least 40lbs overweight used to instruct an aerobics/taebo class. How she got the job was one thing, but the confidence she had in herself was another thing altogether. She used to get up there and bust her stuff and shout at the top of her lungs. She was more out of shap than anybody else in the whole gym! Hillarious.
You wouldn't see the likes of it in the UK or the US(in the majority of gyms) I can assure you...
