In thinking about getting a Personal Training certificate from NASM before I go to school next year. Can anyone who has experience in training/rehabilitation give me some pointers? I really want to start working as a PT aide or in therapy offices to start getting experience. But my concern is if getting this certificate is worth it.
The way I see it, if I have a certificate I have something to show potential employers that I have some kind of skill set while I go to school. I'm tired of retail and it seems like no one wants to hire a college student who hasn't graduated yet, unless they have a certificate or license.
It's an excellent certification that isn't completed over a weekend. I would pursue the corrective exercise specialist cert as well. From there read books by Stuart McGill and Kelly (how to be a supple leopard). You get really into corrective exercise and physical therapy, read Shirley Sarman. I also enjoy Eric cressey and Jim smith from dieselcrew.com.
