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  Lori |

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.

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! |

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. |

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.
