      I don’t think it would hurt, although I can’t say for sure.

      My advice would be to go onto somewhere like LinkedIn and do a job search for personal trainer type positions, and see what comes up in qualifications.

      Id also say it’s well worth asking people at your local gym (even if you aren’t a member!). Regardless of what you do or want to do, experience helps massively, and if you can get some work experience that would certainly help you.

      One of my fianceés friends became a personal trainer without having any biology GCSEs, she got into it through being really active in a dance school first 🙂 As Oliver said, experience really matters!
