Become a Personal Trainer: From Prison to Productivity and Purpose

A Second U Foundation, led by Hector Guadalupe, helps formerly incarcerated people become certified personal trainers and build sustainable careers in the fitness industry. Lunarsol partnered with the foundation to make that pathway accessible to people before release.

We translated A Second U’s intensive training model into a self-guided digital course for Edovo. The curriculum introduces learners to fitness principles, mindset, customer service, client relationships, sales, certification, and the realities of building a career as a personal trainer.

The course allows incarcerated learners to begin developing career knowledge, professional skills, and a plan for reentry while still inside. It reframes fitness as more than personal transformation—it can become a source of employment, community, and long-term purpose.
