[HockeyBacon18]

how long would it take me to obtain the absolute basic certification needed to be a PT?

Not looking to make a career outta it so I don't need to go advanced just something basic

Well if that's your attitude.....don't start.

I understand it's easy to get into this industry but that's why it is so pathetic. Too many uneducated/unqualified trainers that either injure clients or cannot produce results. You clearly have zero interest in becoming an educated/qualified trainer so do yourself a favor and don't get into the industry.

I agree with this.

However, since you are in Canada you can do either CPTN or Can Fit Pro. Both will give you the minimal education and piece of paper needed over a weekend to work at a chain gym and hopefully actually learn some things.

Treating the human body with force is something that you should take seriously, and hopefully as you learn you will start to understand that.

This is why I'm glad I never became a manager at a mainstream gym. Sorting through all the people who don't really want to be there would be a bit depressing.

Probably Canfitpro.

If you know.. which American cert is equal to the Canfitpro cert?

I actually work at canfitpro - we accredit the ACE Certification (although people need to do the practical exam with us to complete), but the theory education is equivalent. We also accredit most other major US Certifications. There are a few that don't meet our standards. If you want more info feel free to message me.
