Not a great job unless you're coaching serious athletes. Enjoy helping post-menopausal women with bosu ball crunches and kettlebell squats for 15 years.

I got certified through ACE for 500$. Before you go through with getting certified I hope you have a body that reflects fitness, because if you look like shit even if you know what you're talking about people will avoid you. I trained people without a cert for a year and no one ever bothered to ask about it.

This is me right now. Fair mount of sodium retention right now. But I can bench 80lbs over bodyweight. Only 18 but still get people asking questions. Most gyms require cert for legal and insurance reasons no?

He probably won't be coaching serious athletes as I doubt he's getting an ACSM or NASM certification. If you're getting a trainer, make sure they have one of those two certs otherwise there's no guarantee they didn't just get certified over a weekend or even online.

Rich piana is right about the whole PT training, get your social media in check

These days people can get practically all their training from youtube, even if it's misinformation by roiders most of the times and the average joe gravitates to people like Jeff Seid.

A cert isn't hard to get, if you don't look that good; make your socialmedia about your knowledge. If you do look good, people will listen anyway.

A trend that I noticed is that the people who make the most money out of it don't sell themselves as personal trainer or even sell fitness for that matter but they sell a possible lifestyle which can be acquired with fitness.

Get the social media in check if you're serious about it.

Some guy that's friends with people I know just started as a PT but doesn't do anything for his social media, he's bound to fail sad to say. He did his first "bootcamp" this thursday and nobody showed, even those who paid so it's not looking good anyway. Atleast he's trying.

Wow that's cheap! What campus? Cause the cheapest I found was 4 grand for cert 3 & 4!
Additionally, do any of you know if it's worth it, money wise? I'm not too bothered teaching people who are stubborn, menopausal, etc, I'm very patient and I'd been doing it to most of the people I knew in highschool for 2 years, so I have an idea of what it could be like, but I'm curious what kind of pay it would entail.
Thanks in advanced

Only certification is the biggest scam

i got certified at a trade school in LA. chain gyms like 24 hour fitness, la fitness, and probably basically everywhere will not accept it or even consider you. get NASM

>>38657892
actually, i just reread that you said "nationally certified" so maybe its better than the bullshit i wasted time on. but in general, most gyms require NASM or ACE
