Summary

Most of our friends in the industry who have trained both high-level athletes and gen pop clients don’t have the depth of experience of our guest, Jacob Ross.

We asked him of this take on the question, “What should I do to get started as a personal trainer?” Jacob shares how he got started and the things he did along the way to continue to improve.

You can (and should) find Jacob on IG (@jacob.w.ross).

Sebastian Brambila (@sebastian_brambila) also ran the board and joined in.
