    Any way around paying lots of $ for study materials?

    Hey, I'm wanting to start a career in personal training and if our governemnt doesn't succeed in their attempt to kill the USA, go on to owning my own gym or something. I know, these are lofty goals.

    I'm looking at getting certified through a website, but I don't have a high enough forum level to post the link. Just Google ncsf.org. Anyway, I'm in the process of getting married and moving to another state, so any money I can hold on to would make a huge difference. The study course (for the certification exam) I'm looking at on that site is like 300 dollars. Is there any way to study and take the exam in cheaper way or for free?

    Sometimes you can get the study guides and books on eBay and such for a little cheaper. You are still going to have to pay full price for the exams though which for ncsf is $200 just to sit and take the exam.

    BTW, their $300 option is just the study materials no exam included. It's $473 for the study materials AND exam.

    I picked up a used copy of the NASM PT book on Amazon Marketplace cheap. None of the recognized cert' tests are free or cheap so you will still need to pay for the cert test even if you find study materials cheaply.
