Point is: you shouldn't claim that under-trained PT's are ruining the industry and then be uncertified. Something about glass houses. OP got called out and then, funny enough, got "emotional" about...

BTW Rams.

Just called ACSM. They've never heard of you. Soooo...

So why can't I find you on the ACSM pro finder?

So let me get this straight. You claim to be an ACSM trainer (but don't...

It seems like most people are so focused on the "sexy" parts of personal training (training athletes, sexually harassing women in the gym) that they forget that the majority of people who need a...

Regardless of certification, I always recommend getting the study guides. Every organization has slightly different focal points, and it's usually more indepth than what the average gymrat knows from...

To me, Crossfit is more about the end state of sacrificing form for speed. There will always be tabata style workouts and Olympic Lifting has a lot of great benefits to it. Just because Crossfit has...

Agreed. Start by fronting 300 dollars a month when you have no clients and that makes for several months where you aren't making much money. Once your schedule fills up make the switch.

Crossfit coaches spouting pseudo-science? Say it ain't so.

That's pretty interesting, though I wonder if that's going to be subject for abuse like every other user data driven platform.

Oh I "failed out" as a trainer? That's pretty weird. I guess getting deployed to Afghanistan counts as "failing out". Thanks for playing.

Anyway, the fact that you say you're ACSM certified is...

How did I know you were going to show up?

Anyway. When I worked at a Golds a few years back, we had four ACE trainers and and ISSA trainer with various levels of experience and different...

You and a bunch of other accounts keep using the statement: "There are a lot of unqualified PTs. There are a lot of ACE PTs. Therefore, all unqualified PTs must be ACE PTs." Though you've provided no...

I know you dislike ACE and a couple other organizations (from other threads you've started). As I've stated elsewhere, I feel ACE is far from the worst offender, and as with most fields, most...

I'm excited to know the results!

forums give people an excuse to e-thug and talk ****. I think you'll find that with most forums, especially here where in addition to the typical crap, there are people trying to market themselves.
...

From the videos I've seen he has a rough-around-the-edges approach that I like watching. I've just seen some videos of him talking and I think they're interesting. I don't really give a **** about...

I think RDF is right here. I think first of all you need to be realistic with your trainer and yourself. You need to realize you aren't going to go from 35% bf to some other number over night, and...

I like CT Fletcher as a personality, but certification that has a pun or a misspelling in its name, professionally speaking, probably isn't worth the paper its printed on.

That said, you might be...

Yeah man. I think "The Biggest Loser" is one of the worst things that's happened to our field.

But yeah OP you're right. Some clients may feel slightly cheated if they came in to lose 120 pounds...

If you use something like MyFitnessPal, it not only lets you practice what you preach, but it DEMONSTRATES that you do it to your clients.

Build that cred.
