Who here is a personal trainer?

[urso8up]

If you are a personal trainer and are certified where did you get your certificate. Was it on-line or in a class room? Which do you think would be a better program hands on or a internet class?


Thank you

Try the National Federation of Personal Trainers.

I received my certification in 1994. They used to send you a large volume of study materials, and once you were ready for the certification test you went to a testing center. if there isn't a testing center in your area you can have someone with a teaching license proctor your test. After that you have self-tests to stay current. I hope this helps.

in class i think was way better you can toss different ideas around at everyone else mabey challenge someone elses thoughts
a little more costly but well worth it imo
