recently decided to become a personal trainer. valuable information in this video , thank you!
How has that worked out for you
Been a trainer for a few years. Caught myself nodding my head during the entire video
@Black shark swimmer he means nodding his head to agree with Mike smh
Go back to sleep then. We don’t need you
he agrees with him
Kamran Khattak what do you mean?
This video was soooo helpful. I’m in the midst of my NASM course and I’m trying to get my foot into the fitness industry. My life goal is to have my own facility one day. My plan is what you’re doing now. Start off in a commercial gym, build up a clientele, and go independent with my talents. I’m so ready to change people’s lives. I was a swim instructor for years and I saw the impact I made in children’s Lives and now I want to tackle bringing that same motivation and inspiration into adults.
Stefan Mccrae how are you doing today?
Gravy Trane why is that ridiculous. You are beyond lazy. That stuff is good to know and it takes like 12 bucks and 10 minutes online. You should not be a personal trainer until you stop being so lazy
NASM is ridiculous. They want you to be certified in CPR and Defibrillator use before you can even sign up.
Keep it up man. Update the video with what your doing now!
I’m studying for my nasm test right now…
Self guides study.. So much information..
“It’s a sales job.” ?
Indeed it is however you selling something beneficial for the health of your body
Dude sounds like he’s driving in a monster truck
Good advice, as a Nurse I would also love to see insurance companies reimburse for Personal Training or at least set up contractual rates with a co pay.
I feel you on the medical aspect. It would be nice if doctors offered training instead of surgery
Got a few very recently. Only finding out now how big the business aspect of personal training is.
Nice video man! I too started off at Golds Gym. I worked there for 2 years before I decided to work independently. For those who just watched this video these are ALL FACTS!!!!
ApexRacer GT3 dope!
“I had to take whoever they would give me” damn, that’s nice of them. When I was there, we had to try getting our own. We were told in a staff meeting we had a hundred new clients, and the front desk only sent the PT department 5 orientations out of that. And the front desk supervisor (I later found out) was jealous and would death stare potential clients and was making me lose orientations. I blew it off, but the gym members themselves kept telling me over and over, so I decided I had to leave. I live in a low income area, but supposedly that doesn’t matter, from what I’ve heard from other out of town business owners
I got three nasm certs, and when I finally started getting certs from different companies. I was pissed with how much better and different information, was out there, Nasm is a good company but there are definitley other worth while certs out there, but most corporate gyms prefer Nasm over companies, in the Chicago area.
@Damien Patrick I got a Cooper Institute certification and know pretty much the same stuff as the kinesiology majors I was co workers with. Learned more stuff on my own throughout the years as well. So probably just depends which cert you get
ACSM is the pinacle
+chauncey phillips check and make sure like I said take the path of least resistance first just to get in the door and build up, i got nasm first but if I woulda knew what I know now I would have got issa first, just to get started sooner
+chauncey phillips I say see what gyms in your area want, first if you can slide in with an issa cert go with that and build up, for me only lafitness and Xsport accepted issa so I went with nasm, the is tough, but at the end of the day I stacked multiple certs over the last year, our main clientele is going to be weight loss and people who need to rehabbed, so keep that in mind, most guys are too pig headed to get training, they rather watch YouTube, but I say take the path of least resistance, and build from there I got nasm. first but it took way to long to get, compared to how fast I got issa, and no matter what cert you get you have to be good, I work with people who have degrees and they suck, they don’t know to progress clients and help them reach their fitness goals,

“Some easy job counting reps” hahahaha
Just recently got my ACE certification I remember starting out not having anything and watching this video and being so impired thank you for this??
Great video. This is the reason why I want to get into personal training.. I’m currently in the military and I have saved up enough to do some personal training courses, and I’ve been seeking an alternative career for the last year.. I’ve always tried to steer clear of the gym as a career as it is a hobby and I want to keep it that way, but the more I think about it, the more obvious it seems to me that a personal trainer is the way forward for me, it combines my passion for health and fitness, and my passion for helping others.. I’ve been training since I was 13, and I am now 24. I’ve been coached by some of the best in powerlifting, such as Andy Bolton and James Jeffries and been around some very reputable people.. I am set to leave the military around march next year, does anyone have any tips on who to choose to do my training with ? I’m wanting to work with a gym, like Rashid recommends just to get a feel of the scene
What’s your thoughts on obtaining a degree?
