it all depends upon which club you go to and the profile of your personal fitness trainer. normally a personal fitness trainer charge from £20 to £50/hr. plus it varies what sort of personnal fitness training you are after.
I’m in my 2nd year of doing my undergrad in chemistry and just recently I have finally discovered what I have passion for and what I want to do for a career. I really want to become a personal trainer since I really enjoy working out and I have a personal trainer. Do you think that I could still become a personal trainer if I get certified? Even though I have a degree in chemistry which isn’t related to fitness?
I’m planning on completing my 3 year science degree and then becoming a full-time trainer. Since I want to start working asap, I’m planning on doing part-time training next year.
What do you think of my plan for personal training and such?
Thanks for your help!
because I’ve had so many training lessons and havent been losing weight. Lately he has been making me do so much work every time I leave the gym I start crying and just go into my room for days not eating because I feel so mistreated. I mean he does want me to lose weight but he is taking this wayy too far. I want to tell my dad to stop my lessons but I am scared because that asshole says that if I stop training with him, hes going to track me down and do something bad, plus he knows my cell#. He is so vicious that once I had a sprained wrist and he made me do 50 push ups! I was in so much pain I missed school and I missed my finals the whole weel later. Is this wrong? If so, can I report it to some authority because it is getting to the point where all I think about is “what is that person going to do to me on sunday?” or”what bruises will I get this time?” HELP!
I’m wanting to work at a fitness center. I’m looking to work at maybe the front desk or a less qualfied position until I recieve my licenense to personal train. Can anyone give me any tips, or what they look for when they hire new employee’s. Has anyone ever worked at a gym and if so can you tell me what you did to get the job?
I’ve led a healthy lifestyle my whole life, and in addition to this, I’ve been very interested in Personal Training. I realize that your probably wondering what the celebrity thing has to do with it, well, I’d be fine being a regular personal trainer, but as most people know, they have a fairly low wage, and their job can be considered a part-time job. My job doesn’t necessarily have to revolve around celebrities, I’m just wondering how I can become a well-known fitness trainer, or popular in the celebrity world? So the Question is, How do you break into the world of professional personal trainers for celebrities and possibly professional athletes?
Examples: Mike Alexander, Michael George, Tony Horton.
I own a Personal Training business , just me , and also im starting a group fitness program for people that cant afford personal training.
I am short of money at the moment but need money to market .
ive tried by best to market the business but ive run out of ideas
Understand that i have very high ethics when it comes to approaching people , and hawking and similar stratergies are out of the question.
Beware of all the certifications out there for “personal trainers”. Some require no education at all. Beware of the individual who looks chiseled and claims to be self-educated. Just because someone is well developed doesn’t mean that they know about exercise physiology, especially understanding all variables with health, age, and genetics. We all develop differently.
There is a big problem because there actually is no regulation of who can call themselves a “personal trainer”. Some do more harm than good.
A personal trainer should have some formal (college level) education in exercise science, especially in exercise physiology and kinetics. The person should be certified in CPR as well.
The more reputable organizations are ACSM, NASM, and NSCA.

i am thinking of becoming a personal trainer and would like to know, from someone who is certified AND experienced, what cert(s) are recommended or essential. curious about fitness and nutrition primarily, but would like to have knowledge of strength and cardio/aerobic training. those who can, do, and those who cannot teach, right? that’s going to be my company’s name maybe (without all of the commas of course)
I’m interested in getting certified as a fitness instructor (yoga, pilates, personal trainer, etc.) but I want to hear from people who have been through it before. What certification did you get? What advice do you have for people who are considering starting the certification. What things did you wish you knew before you started? What mistakes have you made? Did the certification help you get a better job? Was it worth the effort? What were the most helpful tools to help get certified (products, training, books…please be specific). How much money did you spend to get certified, how much time? Thank you.
