I think it would be cool to freelance like G said. I've looked into being a trainer at a gym and it doesn't sound that great. I'm sure it's cool for some people though.
A guy could just go and get the ACE cert (or whatever is respected in your area; find out by asking some trainers at your local gym) and train people from a simple home gym. Just buy a power rack, a 45lb olympic bar, some plates, dumbbells, and a pullup bar. There's tons of shit like that on craigslist. You could probably set that up for like $500, probably less.
It would probably help to be pretty jacked -- big enough that people comment on it a lot -- that way you're like a walking advertisement and people will view you as an authority on the subject.
It could be a nice side gig for someone with the right knowledge and physique.
