how to be a trainer part 1

6/24/2015

Personal training looks like it’s an easy job and anyone could be a trainer as long as you look fit, right?

Have you noticed your favourite cute trainer in the gym is no longer there and wondered why?

Many trainers leave the industry to pursue something else after a year or two because they find it hard to have a sustainable income, but if you hold on and fight a little longer and always have the desire to improve, everyone would want to train with you. Just be relentless and passionate about what you do.

Ps: i got all excited and kept saying podcast!! got to be all the Tim Ferriss podcast i've been listening. I mean to say Video blogging.

Hello, this video is very helpful in telling me how the industry works and what I should look out for! Looking forward to the part 2 about the certifications, which I'm most concerned about. I'm completing my A levels this year and have no background in sports, but I do have a lot of interests in exercise and nutrition and have read up a lot on them.

Does having the cpr&aed and ACE certificate in personal training sufficient? After getting these certificates, must I join a gym to start my career as a personal trainer or can I immediately work as a freelancer personal trainer?

Also, I'm thinking of taking a Bachelor of Science (Exercise and Sports Science) at SMF Institute of higher learning but I'm not sure if a degree is important to be a personal trainer? Considering I do not even have a diploma in sports education, I'm not sure whether I should take a degree on it.

However, I do not know if I should get that degree together with the cpr&aed certificate and ACE personal trainer certificate, or just get the degree, or just get the certificates.

Lastly, is it important for me to be fit before I take up the personal trainer certifications and degree?

Thank you so much! I'm so sorry for these many questions as I'm really interested but get confused how I should even start due to the large variety of certificates or routes offered to be a personal trainer.
