Becoming a Coach

Hello,

I am exploring becoming a health coach because I am looking for a part time remote role that can supplement my full time remote job. I have a master’s degree in exercise science and hold certifications as a clinical exercise physiologist and personal trainer. I also have experience working remotely with a hospital.

I have heard the market can be saturated, so I am wondering if you think there is a strong chance of being hired after earning a health coaching certification through the National Board for Health and Wellness Coaching. I would also appreciate your perspective on the profession overall. Do you enjoy the work, and what would you say are the main advantages and disadvantages?

I am especially interested in something flexible and convenient, and I am drawn to the idea of doing work that helps people. Having a fulfilling side role like this would be ideal.

Thank you for your time.
