I recommend getting the study guide and practice tests along with the books. The online course/study cards/etc aren't really that much help unless they're your learning style. You should study the...

The rent I require from my trainers (independently contracted) is 10% of all business done in the gym. $50 session? 5 bucks goes to the gym. Rent cap is $100/month.

Nope. Haven't had a client yet that I've been sexually attracted to :(. However, I did recently have to tell a girl I couldn't be her trainer because I was interested in her. She appreciated the...

For my clients, all middle aged or older, I'll only recommend protein shakes. For 20-30 year old, somewhat fit and healthy individuals I may recommend a pre-workout, but not always. It's important...

Interested.

IMO the more certifications the better. Do it and sell it, especially if it's a method or program you enjoy.

This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever read. I don't forsee you being very successful with such an attitude toward knowledge and wisdom. Learn everything you can or remain a fool.

It's all about your motivation OP. If you want it, you'll get it. Eat as much as you can, pushup, pullup, burpee, sprint. Rinse, repeat.

Be confident. If you know how to talk to women you can run the desk at a gym. I started out answering phones, vending supplements, and checking people in. Now I'm the boss. Head up, do work.

You SHOULD get professional liability insurance. IDEA offers coverage for certified personal trainers for a couple hundred a year. If you are a contracted employee through the gym their insurance...

Awesome.

Seated Swiss ball pelvic tilts, front to back, and side to side. Also cat/cow yoga pose to work ROM through the lumbar spine into the pelvis. If she lacks flexibility go through some assisted...
