Hey guys I decided to go a different route with life and go to college for something else besides personal training. I'm just trying to recover a small portion of the money I lost out on NASM now...
I'm sorta at a crossroads. I've always had a passion for car/motorcycles, and decided to go back to college for Automotive Collision Repair as I would like to have a career in painting cars/bikes,...
I'm getting my NASM certification soon. I'm wanting to know from those very successful independent trainers which is a better option. Renting a place (studio, random open building, etc etc.) so it...
Add to the fact that I doubt you'll be able to find an insurance company that will insure you under the age of 18. Good luck in your pursuit of this career path. I recommend to start acquiring...

I saw this clever image of a business card http://d24w6bsrhbeh9d.cloudfront.net/photo/39275_700b.jpg and made me think what clever personal trainer ones we could do?
Well I think acquiring the coursework to study for and setting a test date sounds sounds good if you are motivated like that. For example I am studying to be a NASM CPT. I have 6 months to take the...
1) I'm not from that area at all, but my recommendation till someone chimes in who is from there is to start checking out all the various gym chains and see what they require to get an idea.
