Couple questions:
I'm in Canada, what certification should I get to be able to work in a gym? My mother is a trainer and she is suggesting Canfit or YMCA, but I've read that it is better to get legit certifications.
Tips to find work at a gym. What do they look for? I see a lot of turn over at my gym, but there seems to be only a few in house trainers.
After I get certified, I just apply to gyms and ask for a job? Is it up to me to find clients, and how to do so? How do I market myself online?

Someone who doesn't trust his own mother, who happens to be working in the same industry, over a complete stranger is not someone off to a great start.
To succeed at doing what you love, you often must do many things you hate.

Oh, nobody listens to their parents, Ronin. Relax.
