    Question Personal Training

    Hi everyone!

    I have a question about the best way to become a certified Personal trainer. Is there a computer course that I could take and get it done faster? There is a class being offered around my house but it is $5,000! All suggestions will be greatly appreciated

    There are many in-home courses available. My favorite is the International Sports Sciences Association. This is a very complete and comprehensive program.

    Personally I would be worried about taking the best course, not the one I could get done fastest. Unless you already have a lot of knowledge (like a degree) and just need a cert to back you up.
    Today I can do what others will not so that tomorrow I will do what others cannot.

    The difference between winners and losers is that winners do things that losers don't want to do.

    Check out the following certifications: NSCA, ISSA, NASM, and ASCM. Those look like the most complete and marketable. I'm pretty sure I'll be going with the NSCA-CPT at this point.

    Its good to be careful when trading in the net.

    I'm sure you know Dun and Bradstreet. The internationally renown business watchdog with fortune 500 companies where businesses check credibility of companies? Well, American Muscle And Fitness Personal Training Institute is registered with them and have a credit rating there.

    Go to homepage www.sgfitnessonline.com and click Dunn and Bradstreet to search.

    Anyway, I have taken some of the courses that is why am able to know the content and substance.

    Cheers!

    "Enrol" is not a spelling error.

    It is British spelling.

    a lot of people still ask for your certification and sometimes even insurance. If you work in any of the building gyms in NYC as a private trainer the building will require a legit cert and insurance to train people there.

    Yeah, but American English and British English are actually pretty different.

    these are the highest on the food chain. NSCA being arguably at the top.

    Yep, That's right. But I'm just pointing out, we didn't change the language, it was always like that.

    Actually, languages change quite a bit over time. That's why scientists use Latin - no one really uses it, so it's not very likely to evolve like other languages.

    Depends, typically a year, most require ceu's and then you are automatically recertified for however long. I know NSCA lasts 3 years for every cert/recert.
