I would check out the local community colleges and see if they have a personal trainer certificate program. That is how I initially got mine.
I would also check out local clubs (like YMCA), and private clubs, and see if you can meet personal trainers and get an idea of what they do, their job qualifications and what education they attained in order to get their current position.

Hi Ethan ! It is a pleasure to meet you!
In the world we live in today, Social Media is a great way to start or if you'd like, you can inspire those close to you to work out with you if you have not already to get your feet wet. I suggest getting your name and profile set up on social media with content showing your expertise and progression to help create a digital foot-print for yourself. That way, if you are recommended to someone, they have a page to reference and help spread your business to essentially generate revenue. Creating the online accounts are free, and I would suggest keeping the page strictly about personal training/fitness and health to emphasize your professionalism.
