Newly Certified, But I’m terrified…

Post Body

I am newly certified in personal training and group fitness, But I didn’t even have any experience before getting these certs, as I am self taught everything. And now I’m overwhelmed and overthinking my posture, whether i’m doing these exercises right, in order to train others well. My background; I’m 28 (F) currently working in a shipping department. I started working out 1-1/2 - 2 years ago after I had gallbladder removal surgery (and i got sober in the process for my health) , I have grown to love exercising and I genuinely want to help other reach their goals, Because I know how much it has helped me. So, I got certified and have learned a lot, But I feel lost … I don’t feel i’ll get a job with no experience in the field , but how will I get experience? I’m also struggling financially atm , So I do not have a gym membership , nor Could I swing getting my own personal trainer. And i’m pretty terrified of asking for mentorship as I do not have friends in the industry.. I feel kinda alone in this. Advice is appreciated..

EDIT: Thanks for all the comments and advice !

I studied everyday (still do, 25 years later) and I got better.

Interesting, what did you end up studying over these years?
