Forum: Personal Trainers Section

seems like there are a lot of newly certed people here. Anyone been training longer than say 5 years or so as a full-time trainer? Got the first certification 12 years ago, been full time for 5 now but on hiatus due to back injury, hence all the time I'm on this board. I'm probably done as a...

I went through all the subjects on this board, and there are was a lot great advice. However, I am looking into getting certified and my 24hour fitness is hiring trainers right now. From what I understood by talking to all of them is that 24 trains you to be a personal trainer. Do you guys know...

As a personal trainer and a student of the art, I want to learn more about bodybuilding (supplements, anabolics, flexing, etc). Any good books out there? Anything more concentrated than mulling over 100s of musclemags and internet sites?

Well, I'm only 16. I'm by no means in a rush about what to do when I'm older, but as I get older and older, I keep getting closer to the time when I'll need to make some important decisions, so I figured I'd ask some questions. I've thought about becoming a PT, but have noticed that you can go...
