MyCAA Funding: How Military Spouses Can Build a Fitness Career

Are you a military spouse dreaming of a career you can take with you wherever life leads? As someone who supports your spouse in their service, you deserve a career that’s both rewarding and adaptable. If you’re ready to inspire others toward healthy living, consider becoming a Certified Personal Trainer through ISSA with MyCAA funding support.

The Military Lifestyle and Career Flexibility

The average military family relocates every two to three years, moving to different states or even countries. Constant relocation makes traditional careers challenging for many spouses. But with the Military Spouse Career Advancement Accounts (MyCAA), eligible military spouses can receive up to $4,000 in tuition assistance (applicable only to NCCPT accredited courses), allowing them to pursue certifications in portable careers like fitness training. Through MyCAA, ISSA offers top-quality, fully online personal training certifications that can be accessed from anywhere, making it easy to balance work, family, and a mobile lifestyle.

Why Personal Training is a Perfect Fit

Personal training is an ideal career for military spouses. With this certification, you can work in-person at gyms or wellness centers in your new location or offer virtual training sessions from wherever you live. As a certified personal trainer, you’ll not only have a meaningful career but also a job that moves with you. Fitness professionals are in high demand globally, and ISSA’s certification is respected in gyms, fitness centers, and wellness programs worldwide.

With an ISSA certification, you’re set to work in fitness centers and wellness programs worldwide – and thanks to ISSA’s 100% Job Guarantee, you’ll have the support you need to land a job in the field.
