My 1st paid personal training session

I'm in Canada, so i don't think i can be much help. I know ACE is very well respected.

Choose your certifications wisely. Ultimately they are businesses too, so they operate like businesses. there is a lot of $$ for upkeep such as insurance, continuing education.

if you aren't insured or certified, just watch yourself. i am sure your friends would never sue, but its their families who might end up a tiny bit more upset if their relative got injured.

ok the fun stuff - it really is a great job, i loved what i do, i love to teach and its inspiring watching my clients surpass their goals and do things they never thought they would be able to do.

Also, i suggest making a plan for yourself. What are your goals for this type of work, what do you hope to accomplish. that way you can tailor your education and courses to what you need and want to do.

HAVE FUN!!

Yea, funny huh, "paining". She did say that she doesn't sweat when "she" works out on her own, LOL. I reminded her that is what she is paying me for.. Education in my area sucks. Looks like it will be all on line and remote for now. Should get certified before the end of April, that is my plan anyway.
But this is how aligned all this is for me. When I took my client at the gym last night. The guys from the local college personal trainer program, were there. They did a assesment on her for me, and I talked to them about their certs and such. It is going good, for it only to have been 48 hours since my decision. I have 2 clients this afternoon. Got to squeeze in my workout, now. Later, thanks all
