How to be become a good certified personal trainer – good schools and certifications?
I’m 18, in college, and considering become a certified personal trainer to make extra money.
I love to exercise. I’ve been reading about health and fitness since I was 12. I something about diet and exercising.
1. what’s a good school to go to? What cerification program would be good to choose?
ISSA, ACE, IFAA, ect.?
2.Am I likely to get hired if I don’t have a B.A. in exercise physiology or something?
3.Can you make money in this profession abroad? I’m thinking about working in Dubai for a year, so I’m wondering if they hire CPT abroad.
Thanks!
I was in that situation about 9 months ago. I was 19 in college also loved exercise. Was in the gym 6 days a week. And wanted some extra cash. I looked around at a bunch of cert companies. And I ended up choosing IFPA. They had different packages to choose from. In mine I got dvds, the manual, practice test. I also went to a workshop that was included in the package. By the time I took the test I was confident.
The workshop I went to was at a bally’s gym. And at that gym I got hired. I had no problem. and I didnt have any degree.
My buddy is IFPA certified (he was the one that introduced me to IFPA) and he currently is in england and is working part time in a gym. He had no problem getting hired with his certification being from IFPA.
