Yes, but you see . . . "it's the ultimate dance-fitness party."

Stuff like Zumba, Turbo Kick, etc are just today's incarnation of old school Jane Fonda-style aerobics classes. But that's fine. ...

5-9 PM sucks, but it's not terrible. You can still go out after work if that's what you want to do. And making $80K a year working only 24 hours a week is pretty damn good. I wouldn't complain.

The 3rd edition just came out so I wouldn't go any older than the 2nd.

Stats are better than mine and you and I weigh about the same right now. I'd say those numbers are respectable.

Why are you stressing over something like this? I presume most clients aren't...

I think you made some legitimate points, but the way you went about it wasn't great. Also, you're incorrect if you think that the vast majority of the information presented in the certification...

That's an interesting statement. Could you explain that further?

Just curious.

My impression lurking around here is that the vast majority of clients are looking to lose weight or just maintain a state of general fitness. But do you ever get guys (or girls)...

Word on the street is that now you just have to have a 4 year degree of SOME kind. It doesn't have to be in a related field.




That's funny.

One day I'm going to give CrossFit a shot. ...

I did see that, yes. Thanks for the input.

Like I said, I'm just adding to the discussion.

I figured I'd add this interesting link to our discussion on starvation mode:

It's interesting to hear people's thoughts on that. I have heard a lot of people say the ACE/NASM/NSCA-CPT/NSCA-CSCS were relatively easy. Or in your case, "ridiculously" easy. But I have also...

You'd say the NASM exam is ridiculously easy? How so?

Well if this season of The Biggest Loser is any indication, he is using CrossFit to inform his established training style and the result is a hybrid the CF and what he's always done before. ...

According to this he is CF Level 1 certified:

I'm actually really curious to see what kind of impact his involvement has on CrossFit. As far as I've...

I think the big reason is so that you can hang your shingle with the word "CrossFit" on it. You mentioned that you're getting a lot of business just doing workouts similar to CrossFit, but a lot of...

Indeed. I was just curious how you got to that figure of 99%. Because, if they want to, a great many people CAN do CrossFit (due to its scalability) and with the recent push CF is getting from Bob...

Why is that?

Why AREN'T you sure if he's serious?

The fundamentals of exercise really have not changed. The primary lifts are still the same and if you're not training with intensity, then you're not...

Dude, relax.

And last I checked the ISSA isn't NCCA accredited and, yes, many gyms do accept it.

Why are you raging?

I'm currently studying to get certified and I had to do the review of all the available certs and make the same decision you are making right now. I ultimately decided to go with the NSCA.

But...
