Steps to Become Personal Trainer

QUESTION:

Hello my goals are becoming a Trainer / becoming a bodybuilder.  I would really like to know how to begin to get certified as a personal trainer. I cannot find heads or tails were to begin can you please shed some light on my situation.

ANSWER:

This is a very often asked question which I'm currently working on a step-by-step guide for answering.  It really depends on where you live and the options you have for employment.  The first thing you need to do is travel to all the gyms which you think you'd like to train at and talk to the manager. 

First and foremost ask what the job requirements are.  Some gyms require specific personal trainer certifications, etc.  Secondly ask them how you would get clients.  Some gyms have excess clients who are ready to go while some personal trainers struggle mightily to get new clients, pay the bills and put food on the table.

Everything about the profession of being a personal trainer from job locations, to education to post-education to personal training certifications to techniques can be found from the following page.
