Well for the past 4-5 years I have been wanting to become a Personal Trainer but I am not really sure how to do it, I have looked at the website CANFIT PRO and have been looking into there online courses but not sure if that's what i need or not, They seem to be individual and specific courses that get you certified in that subject but not necessarily as a Personal Trainer or at least that's how I am comprehending it.
I would appreciate the help and any Info you guys can give me on what I need to do or if doing the individual course's from CANFIT will be a good way to go.
thanks

The first step to becoming a personal trainer is to get certified. So I would look at the sticky about "Best Personal Trainer Certifications" and choose one that fits you.
ISSA, ACE, NASM, NSCA, ACSM are just some of the NCCA accredited certifications that would be a great choice for any personal trainer. On each of their sites they should have plenty of information on how to get started and study material to go along with it.
Good luck and if you need anymore help just PM!Kristian
