How do you become a personal trainer? When I look online there are many different certifications. Which one is the best/most popular and recognized nationally?

Find some personal trainers in your area and get an interview (in person or by phone) with as many as are willing to talk to you.
Also, go to gyms in your area and ask person in charge about their ideas.
I don’t know about certification, but just don’t spend a lot of money on a piece of paper that doesn’t mean a whole lot. Get a real education, probably at least part of it needs to be hands-on, and quite a bit of anatomy/physiology/sports health–that type of thing. I would think that experience counts a lot. And good references, too. Also, you need to think about the legal aspects–don’t want a client to sue you and win! Good luck.
Live well and do good.

i am looking for a budget online fitness courses certification , hey guys do you have idia please suggest me …..

Information is below.

i am going to school to a nutritionist and i want to be a fitness/personal trainer too. i would like to take courses online, and i can’t seem to find any good sites that arn’t just advertisement. anyone have any good suggestions on a good website that maybe help me?

i’m not sure about online trainging, but if you go to careercruising.com, they tell you all about it, and courses you should have to become one.

I wanted to see if anybody knew of any free online personal training help or if there are any personal trainers who read this that can help me.

I have a cruise in exactly 3 weeks. I just found out about it a week ago when I started getting hardcore about being in the gym and eating extremely healthy. My question is…. can someone tell me what I should do while in the gym to get my body in better shape before the cruise. I know they have personal trainers in the gym for that, but we all know how expensive it is. The cruise was a gift to me and my fiance so it was spur of the moment and now I am on a budget bc of Christmas coming up, cruise and wedding. I can’t afford $300.00 a week for a trainer.

Sorry for being so long winded…i am getting to the point.:)

I was 115 lbs pre- pregnancy. I am now at 135 lbs. I am in the gym daily. I usually do cardio machines for about an hour. I also do classes 2-3 times a week. I am not sure what machines I should use and reps and all that. But I want to lose some weight and tone up some asap!! I am embarrassed to be in a swimsuit. What can I do to tighten up in 3 weeks. I am realistic, I know its a short time so I know im not going to have a hard body by then, I just want some change. I work out hard too…no cry baby here. Can someone please give me a work out routine that I should do in the gym that a trainer would give me in my circumstance that will really help get some quick noticeable results?

I really appreciate this. Serious answers only pls. This is a big deal to me…. Thank you.
I have the p90x…but I have a 1 yr old so it is not even possible to workout at home. I have a membership in a gym that has a daycare so I can do my work out….

Nothing’s free, but any advice will be appreciated. I only have a bowflex, and had to sell my treadmill to pay the light bill. I also know that if calories in are less than calories out, you lose weight. Yeah, yeah.

I’m no stranger to working out. I’ve just lost some modivation since getting pregnant. It’s not that’s it’s more difficult to lose weight, but there’s less time. I work 2 jobs and have a 1&1/2 year old. What kind of exercises can I do to have the maximum impact? I want to lose about 20lbs safely, but I don’t want to do some exercises that may not be as effective as others.

I’ll do it!

what is the best personal trainer certification program that you can do online. Also what is the best for the money, there are like a million choices, and I am just looking for the best value for the dollar

best is a rather subjective term, it really depends on what you what to do with the certification. any cert that is easily obtainable will bring you a very low wage.

I am interested in becoming a personal trainer. I have seen a few websites offering online courses, but I am not sure if that’s the best way to go. So I’d like to know if anyone suggests an online course or a training school. I live in central FL so if anyone knows a good school, let me know please!! Thanks in advance!

You dont have to go to school to be a trainer. My mom didnt and she was certified. You need to talk to a personal trainer at a gym and ask them how they did it. It may be different in different states. I remember that my mom had to answer tons of questions and send pictures of herself working out on different machines. Good Luck and God Bless!!!

i would like to be a personal fitness trainer but dont even know the first steps to become one. i know the community college by me offers a personal trainer certificate, but i also saw online that websites offer books and an exam. which would be better? i would think taking actual classes in school would be better but i dont know.
please help, and give me some advice.

The certificate from the college would be the better of the options. Try to get on with a gym in any position they offer. Then you can spend time talking to the trainers there to get a better idea of what you’ll need.

I’m looking for a free online program with personalized fitness and nutrition plans. Does anyone know of any good ones?

Weight Watchers. Eat a variety of foods so you don’t starve but you follow a point system that determines what kind of foods you eat.

I don’t want to do a bunch of reading and training and wondering if I am doing everything right. What I would like is to visit with someone online that really knows their stuff when it comes to getting into shape, and they can tell me exactly what to do to get the results that I want.

I am online about 10-12 hours a day, and would be happy to help you in any way that I can.
IM me, for your questions.
