Forum: Personal Trainers Section

My title is probably a phrase u commonly see or hear but in my case it's true. I'm 33 yrs of age with natural muscular genetics. In my lifetime I've taken supplements from multivitamins to creatine. But that's as far as it's gotten. I've recently been blessed with an opportunity to play football...

If you have it could you let me know? Thanks.

I just got the txtbook and dvd and I'm getting things done, very easy to understand and what not. Just wondering if any veterans have any tips or hints. How was the test, did you take any practice tests?

Anyone here have or know of anyone who has taken the ACSM REPC? I am seriously considering studying for this exam while I have some free time (not yet found a full time job yet in 2 months!!) I lined up a job shadow at a local clinic so that I can get hands on experience. Why not study up for...

My dad had lower back surgery five weeks ago and he is curious at to what would be a good workout program to strengthen his muscles in his back to help prevent any further problems. He is 70 years old so we can't make it too hard. I have done some research and am not coming up with much. Thanks...

I hope you don't mind answering a few questions for me pro-bono. LOL Basically I've been over on the Teen section and while I do trust that everyone there knows a lot more than me on the subject, and are probably experts on bodybuilding, I'm kind of confused because everybody seems to be focused...

hi, i have a question for the personal trainers. i just got the material for my pt course from nasm. i was wondering about how easy is it to work for a gym after i become certified? i never worked in the area, i am working as a chef now, but i think i found something i love more than cooking,...

so ive taken the test twice, and failed by 4 points both times. i really feel like the test is designed for you to fail so you can purchase a retest. the test is just stupid. i feel like after learning all of that information the test barely has much to do with it. do any of you trainers that...

I am moving to India for 4 months and want to take the ACSM HFS cert exam while I am there. Is this possible? Will they accept a cert which was tested for overseas? I can't find a website which is telling the locations in India, New Delhi. Please help guys.

How did you get a job and how long did it take when you first started out? Did you go to a gym and work for them until you had build enough experience and reputation to go free lancing? Do they let you overshadow some of current guys working there to let you get a feel of how things are done?...

So i just recieved this book and chapter 1-4 are very difficult because I do not understand the anatomy part, mainly because I have never taken a class on anatomy. I basically wanted to know how important is it to know how energy is made in the body and how HG is made and muscle fibers etc.......

I have a lot of time to take on new clients. There is an army base close by and would love to target those wives whose husbands are overseas. I have a degree in training, not marketing or business... I am asking for help with target words... nothing like "look better when he gets home", or...

I know we're in a competitive field, and if you work for a large gym that likes to hire a ton of trainers at the same time to boost the gyms training sales, it makes it even more competitive, because it's that much harder for each trainer to make a decent living. Once in a while at my gym, you...

So I was planning on going to school for civil eng. but to be honest even though it would probably be my best bet I would end up shooting myself, just can't get into that stuff. So here is my question I enjoy the fitness and health classes I have taken in school and was curious if there are any...

My chest days are hit and miss, my biggest problem at the gym is my chest workouts. Much of the time I find my left pectoral doing all the work. I find it extremely hard to correct this, and some days I manage to do so by either focusing hard, creating a larger angle with my upper arm and my chest...

As trainers, we typically have a couple days that are busier than others. If you're lucky enough, you can pile all your appointments into a few days of the week and enjoy plenty of time off! Monday and Thursday do it for me. Between those two days I range from 16-20 appointments. What are...

My name is Marc . I started training when I was 29 . I am now 31. I have taken to the gym like a fish to water . Many of my friends have commented that my personality drive and passion would serve me well in the gym by way of training others. I would be training anyway and I want to help people and...
