I charge $25 for single and $45 for shared. This undercuts most of my competitors and works really well.

How much does it cost?

Let me guess.... the one percent that knows it all is you? That's quite a statement.

I don't know much about the their clinical program but I'm sure it's very good because that is their true area of expertise. I think they have one of the best programs at ESU. What is the deal with clinical exercise? Do you work in a hospital or rehab center or what?

Sounds like a bunch of hooey. What is so complicated about personal training, as a business, that would require three months of classes? There is really only one thing to understand.... acquire more clients on a monthly basis then you lose and you'll succeed. Basic stuff.

That's not bad. They sure seem to want to encourage education and knowledge. It seems to be the trend these days to have multiple certifications.

I try to sell packeages of ten. Then I make sure I train the hell outta them so that they really feel as though they cannot train at that level by themselves. Works everytime.

Do you guys get paid more for possessing multiple certifications? That seems to be the way gyms are recruiting better talent. I'm not sure that is always the case though. I know of trainers who are very good but only have one certification and a couple who don't have ONE!

I work at LA Fitness and it's slowed down alot. I used to serve 20 clients a week and I'm now seeing about 15. It's o.k. because I have a pretty decent home base clientelle and through referals, its growing at a good pace.

Most certification programs don't really teach the essentials of personal training, they only teach anatomy, physiology, and basic program development. There are others that do but the point really for people who are already training is to get a certification their gym accepts. If your gym...

The National Health Educators Master Program is BRUTAL! My gym just started accepting their certification after I told the owners about it. I hope you pass on your first attempt. Much luck! Ciao!
