Pros

You work at a gym, can wear gym shorts, and the job is easy. Helping people can be very rewarding

Cons

It is the most vapid, vacuous job on the planet. In between sessions with your clients where you talk about exercise, you will get incredibly stimulating talk about how much a member's bench is. Basically, if you require stimulation to enjoy and do your job, this is devoid of it. Good for a job, after 3 years or so it get incredibly old.
