How Do I Become a Certified Personal Trainer?

I want to become certified as a personal trainer, what should I do? How long are the classes? What are the lessons? What it takes to be employed in a gym? You need a university that offers curriculum, then register to see the university. If you're still in school counselors and then you can see that they can offer you information on universities in this course. If you have school, then try to find it, then start e-mail to the universities for their brochures. There are some certifications, but the best known are two certifications, NASM and ACE. You can even create an online course with NASM. http://www.acefitness.org/ Most gyms do you agree http://www.nasm.org/ without certification (primarily because you can not get insurance without certification). Bally used to employ personal trainers without certification if you were about to create. But you have your CPR certificate. http://www.r redcrossorg / services / HSS / degree programs are available ranging from six months up to 2 years in college. However, you can also get the certification of the different schools of training staff in much less time. You can obtain certification and the light that works at a gym in three months. But if you want to make a career of personal training, you should invest in a program that will be better prepared. There is a list of staff training programs on the link below .

What is/are the best Personal Trainer certification(s) available?

I'm thinking about getting a personal trainer and want to know, from someone who is certified and experienced, what cert (s) recommended or necessary. Curious about the fitness and diet in the first place, but want to know about strength and fitness / aerobics. those who can and those who do not learn? is that my company may (without the commas of course) If you want to go with Solid certification NCSA-CPT, NASM, Cooper Institute, ACE, or ACSM. Most of them have some college requirements, I do not feel bad at all. If you want an easy way to call yourself a "personal trainer" you can choose any of the other "weekend seminar with Take Home Test Sam -. Moderator of Raw Fitness on Yahoo groups www.nakidfitness.com Start with a personal. Coach certification. You should be certified as CPR. Almost all gyms, and companies require this certification. I recommend just starting at a health club chain used as training and Bally's or Gold at the development of this atmosphere, this way you get experience and you have a client pool there. They tend to spend time searching. Then when you feel sure you have enough experience - the next step is to open your own business. I would recommend doing it in that order. another certificate that is good is specailist a consulting firm. It shows how to approach and sell to all the different personalities. You can be the best coach in the world, but if you can not sell yourself - do not care. Certification I personally recommend IFPA. www.ifpa-fitness.com. I had a very good experience with them. Your materials are top notch. very practical in the real world.I never go anywhere else for cardio because I am interested in all areas - they have a certification for it .

What courses would I need to take if I was to become a personal trainer?

I wonder which of course I do because I am trying to determine if this is what I do (but only'll probably actually be fit:) I need). Who knows how many years of education, as required, oh, and above all, earn as much as you can;) lol, the chemistry is one thing. I have a friend who is a personal trainer. She did not attend college, but took some classes from the work they already offered. I would be a gym and ask. Possible classes are at the center or a community center for all classes to go to.

Should I take classes online or at community college for PERSONAL TRAINER?

I would like to become a certified personal trainer. I understand that there are courses you can take online classes and I see my community college can be made. Which is best? And if you have a personal trainer, tells you what you deserve to enjoy it if you know what your hours are and what their certifications are.thanks! Community College, because if you class online you are prone to error and not much more difficult to obtain practical experience. Doing the course in person is the only way to really know what you're doing. There is only so much one can learn to read. Wages and working hours are based on the work for you and where. I take my personal trainer qualification with my other skills (many different skills, such as psychology, economics, etc.) and make $ 85/hour, which is not nearly as may know what to do, but a price I deem reasonable. I work for myself, so I use my own hours.

I want to be a personal trainer, is BTEC Sports and Science certificate a waste of time?

I want a personal trainer, and I take a YMCA course, but do not know if it went to six form and studying BTEC sport and science certificate. I do not want to stay, but I do not know if I need a degree. Any help? Yes, it would help! In this course you will learn about sports coaching, nutrition, anatomy, etc etc all you need, so if you really want to become or remain a personal trainer. It would be excellent starting qn I've been in business for a while now. And I have never heard of BTEC Sports Science and certification. I am familiar with the most popular personal trainer certification (there are 8 give or take) and it is not one of them. For a personal trainer to certified personal trainer. It takes an average of six months, depending on your certification, and how much time you put into it. You will also need to be CPR certified. There are thousands of companies out there for certification, but only a handful are worth, I prefer IFPA. www.ifp-fitness.com. Very good material. It is painful to read. If you are serious about being a PT, so I went with IFPA and drop BTEC .

How do you become a personal trainer? If your from the DFW area that helps a lot too!?

Ok I am confused about what to do in life and I thought, is business good, but I do not think so. I've been thinking about what I love and my passion and I know now that it has to do with fitness. I've always loved sports, I am a member of a gym. And now I think that a personal trainer is what I want to do. I want people to achieve their goals, I like their progress they have made. So my question is, do you have any tips, suggestions? I know I need to be certified, but there are many out there. Even better is an online course that I've seen or a real hands on, I heard about a place in Dallas, but not sure what it's called. I have also heard that I need my own insurance or something like that should just incase someone gets hurt. Any help, tips I'd really appreciate it!

What are the best and worst certifications for a personal trainer?

I have worked for 14 years, I saw my way around a gym, although I know that many do not know. it is better to take a 6-month class for a personal trainer (not the $ 5700) has been or is it better to take a course of home study in a special certification to ACE, NCSF, etc.? I would also highly personal training, and I have heard ACSM (American Council on Sports Medicine) is'm out with a personal training certification, sure, you've probably heard of ACSM is, they are a very safe organization health and have a certificate. of them would be awesome. But if you can not do that it's a good idea in any other recognized organization, so you may confirm credibility with your customers. but it sounds like yo'ure ready to track the time and money to be made. Good luck! Do not waste so much money. If you can get certified for less, there is no certification that really so many things that weither or your customers are happy with a coach that I had almost a year, she had the highest level of certification and eventually she knew very little about the concept that no man is ever the same. She was ok, she said nothing certifications, and it took me a lot of money. If you are good, nobody will really care where the certification comes from .

anyone done the personal trainers course with max international college for fitness professionals?

My daughter has signed a contract binding her to pay $ 8,800 per week to pay $ 107 for the next 78 weeks for a 12-week course with personal trainer, fitness Max International College in New zealand.The works very hard, no room for cancellation for any reason, plus additional penalties of $ 105 for each late or not paying. Max Fitness Academy are very friendly, but the papers are extremely unpleasant. I want my daughter to get out of the contract as she can. But they said a month ago. We have sent a letter and made the withdrawal, which she lost her job and can not afford to pay, but we havn't heard anything yet. Has anyone had any experience of the international school for the pros? And has anyone tried to cancel a contract with them?

Can you make good money being a personal trainer?

I want to be a personal trainer, I would like to know if I can make a career out of it. Of course, I would like to improve my education and to specialize a bit later but for now I can a living being a personal trainer? if you have many customers you can make lots of money. but most personal trainers are not the kind of people who have a good line that her death is a racing career now. Everyone and their brother is a personal trainer and Big halls are always very selective about who they get because they can. A bachelor's degree in kinesiology, at least one ACE-certified, or ISSA and NASM will be required. Then you have a base of clients.It's build Dog Eat Dog out there, and many coaches have other jobs. Most personal trainers could not do much. Its about as much as a teacher. However, there are a bevy of personal trainers who take the big money. Teachers at The Biggest Loser "making millions every year. Personal trainers proffessional athletes, celebrities and the rich, make tons of money a lot to do "good" is necessary to put all their efforts and time to study physics and make a good connection as well. This is not a bad job, if you're doing this until you get the title. Most personal trainers never make a lot of money .

What qualities do you believe make a good personal trainer?

I think to make a journey through the Australian Institute of Fitness. I know you have a passion for fitness, excellent communication skills and give people the encouragement and support to their fitness goals. What do you think is necessary to be a good personal trainer? It was not the greatest person in the world as a personal trainer who has never taken what they need is knowledge and there by car, students sit on the edge should look like you know what you need. Nobody wants to take the train and counsel from someone in worse shape they are. I'm in good shape and I am of the opinion of people is better than I'm physically. I think you need a certain level of severity and of course knowing what you do with your customers. Have the motivation and education to people inspired form and shape and able to do anything. They are educating people throughout the day. Im looking also to get certified Issa myself in my mind, I think patience and good motivational skills (^^,). Support

I am interested in becoming a personal trainer. Is ISSA for real or just a rip off?

ISSA, the International Association for Sport. I found in a magazine that fitness classes for personal trainer certification. I wonder if there are success stories of people who have classes, and now a personal trainer. The reason I ask is because this course is about 6-8 weeks $ 500 and I'll be sure my money is something that is real. If your in the States, it is better for an organization that is nationally certified American get. Places like NSCA, ACSM and ACE certifications you've got the skills and respect. Most programs require gyms you have any of those certified. Check their website for more details and good luck. ISSA is legitimate when I hear that NASM is widely recognized and respected. I have both (as well as AFAA), and they were both worth it. Yes, they are expensive, but you must invest in staff training to get something out of the training centers of highest reputation are not used, if you do not have at least one of them. And most customers do not spend the money to someone who is not certified with a reputable organization. If you already work in a gym, which often cover at least half of the bill. PS To be certified, you must have publishing credits, and also costs money .

What qualifications should I look for in a personal trainer?

I'm looking to get a personal trainer at the gym, but I know many of them have very little training in how to side a couple of courses. I do not want to offend anyone, but I do not think a six-month course and a multiple choice test is sufficient. You know what questions I should do to ensure I'm qualified coach? What types of licenses are available for coaches and they have to do to get them? Thanks! you're right about gymnastics coaches! these guys have more to use the plans approved by the training centers must provide legal protection that prevents their ability to give the best advice. my friend is one, with all their certifications, but I think he's asking for answers. The undersigned. and I have no certifications. results. because I spent time researching and experimenting, and lose his own fat. If you need help with a diet plan, I will hire a line coach. The key is to know when the necessary modifications to the plan, they are also very cheap for what they give you. good luck! ~~~~~~~~~~~ Anthony for advice and consultation: http://anthonyboogie.blogspot.com Hey, it's an important issue given that your health and wellbeing, and not the money to call for all involved. It is true that many under-qualified personal trainers are trying to establish themselves as experts. Finding a qualified and experienced personal trainer, you should look at: 1 Make sure that their certifications current. All major certification bodies to give their personal trainer with documentation of their certified status. The personal trainer should not hurt to ask for proof. The most recognized organizations including NCSA, NASM, ACSM and ACE. 2nd A degree in health sciences, exercise physiology or related field is not necessary but it certainly increases the value of the service provided here should also be a personal trainer who can provide evidence of the degree, if desired. 3. Ask for references or references. It's always good to see / hear the thoughts of a person who has worked with your personal trainer before potential.

do i need a qualification or certificate to become a personal trainer if i already know much about exercise?

I want to become a personal trainer, but many companies are charging thousands of dollars for a training course for staff who do not want to pay what they already know everything. My brother just finished one of these courses, and then find your reading material that I can safely say I know everything because I see it as a robbery to pay all that money just to learn something I already know? Yes, I think the clubs to hire only those who have trusted concerts. yes, you must have a recognized certification conclusion would be the YMCA gym instructor award, yes, there is something more than training that comes with being a personal trainer. you must learn the nutritional information and other things about genetics so that you can get to know the specific training for each person who is training with you. Fitness also more likely to get hired if you have the credentials of CPT. Not to mention that you are able to charge more money if you have the credentials.

Personal Trainer Fees.?

Im just taking a coaching course for new staff, but I have two questions that I thought u can help me: 1) How much should I charge each customer per hour (that I know that can vary slightly)? 2) How can customers ask the price? (At the beginning or end of each session)? 3) How many people must go to accommodate a day (7:00 to 6:00 pm weekdays). Thanks. The finance section personal is probably not the best category for this question, because it is a business. I think you should do research and find the price of a personal trainer in your area. If you take a course, does not help with some of these questions? Go to your local gym and ask what they charge. How to call a local personal trainer the same question. You can take from the consumer point of view or trying to work with them. Be careful what you ask how and when. Costs are likely to occur.

I am interested in becoming a personal trainer. I've seen some websites that offer online courses, but do not know if this is the best way forward. Let me know if someone offers an online course or a training school. I live in central Florida, if anyone knows a good school, let me know please! Thanks in advance! a coach? u: a gym / trainer equipped? I hav idea. Sorry, this is not a real answer, but the name is Kat ur serious? because this is my name, but I am a girl that is chilling. would be appropriate for the first interview w / the gym, where you are interested in working for many of them have a specific certification that they expect their instructors have certificates of authority experts in the field are: ACE and NASM Ballys You can hire inexperienced not due to school to become a coach. My mother and she has not been certified. You need to talk with a personal trainer at a gym and ask how they did it. It may be different in different states. I remember my mother had to answer many questions and send photos of themselves working on different machines Good luck and God bless.

Can I find a personal trainer without paying an arm and a leg? Do I have to sacrifice maximizing my results ?

I usually lift weights for ten years, 285 were the best I've ever squeezed banks. I was very loose w / out firming what was already there. Now 10 years, two children and a car accident later, it is possible to help someone to contact me to find my target. I want 150 pounds without surgery or dangerous drugs lose! Mine is Dr. gunhoe me sergeon I asked him if the insurance would pay for a coach rather reffer course the answer was no. I want this to be the safest way possible, but still able to pay my bills! a chicken, the bank £ 285? GREAT! What are you, man? Go as far as a personal trainer, you get what you pay for. But if you "share" some friends to find coaches, you will probably pay less. If I is $ 85 per hour for a single charge, and you come to me with himself and four friends, I would probably responsible for every one of you about $ 50 - $ 55 per person per session, but you could participate in same session. You can get personal training advice for a reduced fee per session and I am I'll help but look at my profile can.just responses and click on the link to contact me. Good for not opting for surgery or medications! Hard work always gets the best results! Good luck! I would not pay a personal trainer. You can get all the information you need on the web. It 's very simple, you must burn more calories than you take in this case, you have to do much cardio, with a balanced weight lifting routine. Be sure to mix everything, if they continue the same routine, your body gets used to it. Depending on where you live, some gyms offer personal training plans for just $ 8/week. More research is needed. At the same time, start to include cardiovascular exercise (even just walking at first) 30 minutes a day and you start to lose weight. Having done this for a while 'should start includind small weights in your workout with weights. Light weight with high repetitions bestaande muscle tone, which you obviously still a place having all the fat heart Trying to integrate into your daily routine can be difficult, but you must have the desire, if you want to lose 150 pounds - will all eventually be worthwhile. Good luck.

Working as hard as you can get in shape on June 1 and "hard when they were out of shape for some time, the first few weeks is likely to be unhappy at the gym, but once things will be much easier. Start by doing 30 minutes of cardio, either running on the bike or elliptical will help you get fit. As time passes slowly add more time to train, if you're on the elliptical start raising the level of resistance of the blind /. Also make sure your diet healthy diet low in fats and oils that can hinder efforts to get fit and I hope I helped good luck! My field is in fashion, as a result many people ask me how I can lose weight. My answer is always the same: good diet and exercise, but I found this product (natural) which I think helps a lot in the process (which is very good for detox, you will feel much healthier). I recommend you check this site http://slimhealth.info, which has a free and pay only $ 4.95 shipping and handling. Good luck! Great post! I totally understand how you feel.

I'm thinking of becoming a certified personal trainer. Which organization should I go through?

I have to make an online or Home Study Course to become a certified personal trainer thought. My goal is to learn to work more effectively and possibly create some extra income. I have seen AFTA, NFPT, adjust, and many others. Can anyone tell me what is best and why? Call or visit a local gym or YMCA and speak with one of the PTS is about what they did. Chances are they would be able to tell you which is better than most of us here. If you want to learn the most effective ways to reach your own fitness goals and / or are a true fitness professional (as opposed to the large number of under-educated duh.trainers contrast) are interested in joining NASM

What steps do i take to become a personal trainer at the age of 16?

Hello. Im 16 and currently in school. I've decided now that college is not for me, and I want to get out and work. But I have no idea what to do. I want to be a personal trainer / fitness instructor. What courses should I take? What company or organization, I must go.? Can someone help me.? You are in school at age 16? Go to this sight careercruising.com a good start, as a personal trainer is the YMCA. Not sure if they leave you at 16 but you can use it, or volunteer there, and then again to pray at number 18, a personal trainer. They offer a good education and you need not be in school, a personal trainer for them. does most of the time they are for someone who is willing to work weekends. Make friends with the gym instructor, not suck, but to know the person and tell them you want a personal trainer and ask what steps you should take. I'm sure they will help you. YMCA positions, as everything you need to be certified in first aid and if you are employed there, will pay for you to attend class is usually required during the first 3-6 months of the date. When you hire just ask your supervisor for the next CPR and First Aid class. Of course, when you need not be in a college course a personal trainer for this profession is probably wise, and you want to find in physical education and / or fitness in some schools. Some offer a certification program that requires less time. However, if college is not for you, then perhaps you might want to wait a bit before returning. Hope that helps.

want to become a personal trainer can anyone help me by telling me which would be best course to do.?

It is unclear which of course would be best because it's quite good there. Recommendations? although I could do my work in a gym setting is coach to go, or they can not even rent. ask them questions about the certification program over /, which will include instructor. they must give you the info, where did and how much it will cost, etc. You can order tickets online several years ago. I am currently certified by ISSA and for 3 years. I chose the program at home that took me six months to claim - while I was working well. With ISSA you can pretty much go anywhere to go - I was very satisfied with the consultant, they were very useful:) Good luck to you:). Contact Education First. They are really helpful and guides you. Quite expensive, but a recognized organization. it was to play a video Seseme road and went for it I http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKCGe2Ezris
