Hey bro,


I can help you with this. Is there a particular certification you are looking for that might entice you to join?

I'll ask all of the consultants like Nelson Montana and Mandy Polk what personal trainer certifications they have. I'll have them send you a PM about it if you are serious.

I'm confused here. I thought the OMEGA project was training by and from OMEGA? Isn't it supposed to include one-on-one consultation time with OMEGA himself?

But, you're saying that there are several trainers other than OMEGA? Does OMEGA still give personal time and attention to all clients then?

This is confusing.
 
is there an 'official' page which gives a breakdown of the basics of the OMEGA project? i found a post or two, but my search was half-assed. hopefully, there is a source of information (at least an FAQ) for those who are interested, or even curious.
 
what?
 
I have plenty of different certifications as far as my profession gos. Here is a list of certifications I got from the American Culinary Federation (ACF) well in the army.

CMC-Certified Master Chef
PCC-Personal Certified Chef
CFM-Certified Food Manager


I also have certifications in

serve safe
Food Service Specialist
Food Service Technician

Also 14 years in my field of work. So I think I'm covered. :heart: :)
 
it costs 200 a month and they wont budge on prices whatsoever if you dont want/need the included plat and discount supps..

Lestat is asking for specific certifications. If Omega doesn't have the one Lestat is looking for I can maybe refer him to Nelson Montana, Mandy Polk or Carl Lanore, all those peeps do consults for EF too...

Needto comes in and gives people customized meal advice. He works with people's schedules and limitation, to help them eat healthy all week for cheap.

Its 199 for the first three months + one month free. Or 575 for the four months. Its a 16-week program not an ongoing thing, and you are only allowed to enroll in the program 2x per year.

I'm curious about trainer bios, work experience, that type of thing.
 
rick are any of the omega project consultants located in nyc? if so is there an option to 1 on 1 training>? is so pm me a price .. thanks

By the title of the thread and by his first post, I thought he was talking specifically about the OMEGA project?

Not sure I got an answer. So are there other people training clients in the OMEGA project besides OMEGA?

If I was paying $600 for 4 months of training, I'd want OMEGA, not someone else. The threads advertising the OMEGA project had pictures of "Client Alpha" and his progress. That was pretty impressive. I haven't seen anyone else post pics of folks they've trained. I would want the real deal Holyfield. I'd want OMEGA.

yeah I was curious about the OMEGA project specifically, I was looking into a PT cert and was curious what other working PTs are using these days.
 
i get the impression that the omega project is a limited thing, still in its nascent stages. it's not merely a question of "where do i sign up?" it may or may become a full-fledged, open-to-all service offered by or associated with EF. omega said elsewhere that too many people are a part of it already.

Weren't you looking into this like 2 or 3 years ago too? What's up? You looking to do it on the side or something?

yeah, good memory man! Its been on my list of "to do" things for a long time now.
 
How quick people are to say certifications don't mean shit when some one has them, but then act like they are the end all if you don't have them..... Ether way the project Is great. People love it and it works for people.

I'm not making a judgement on them, I see some value to them (which is why I want to get one myself).

I see the OMEGA project advertised heavily in C&C and I'm curious as to the formal background and training behind it.
 
Lestat, what's the real reason you want to know? For starters, I doubt you're ready to take your training to the next level. Secondly, I feel this one of your passive-aggressive ways of trying to discredit OMEGA because you assume he isn't officially licensed in PT.

Hopefully I'm wrong on both accounts, but you can't blame me for being suspicious based on your attitude toward board sponsors in general.

With that being said, I firmly believe OMEGA's project produces REAL results. Look at the kid he trained. Dude is ripped to shreds, not to mention he's got some serious muscle maturity. I believe this program is perfect for those who have a hard time being motivated or simply need a push in the right direction...without requiring a personal trainer to look over their shoulder while working out. Oh, and I've spoken to OMEGA privately on several occasions. The dude knows his shit. This coming from someone who used to bust his balls all the time.

Hell, I hope I end up looking like an asshole and Lestat is the next client looking to step up his game.
 
these are all reasonable questions, needto. don't think we're trying to make trouble, just because we're a couple of troublemakers. ;)

Simple curiosity, that is it.

I'm not questioning results, I'm just curious as to his certifications.

Its one of the questions I'd ask any other trainer.

And I assume he IS a licensed trainer, which is why I am asking which certs, not "does he even have any certs?" I assume any working PT has at least one, wouldn't you? Even the trainers at 24 hours fitness have one.

Yes bro, I do have a very experienced trainer in NYC for you, the guy is a published author, trains competitors and writes for mags all the time... I doubt I can get you personal on site training for 199/mo though. But something can always be worked out if you really want to do it... PM me if serious, please don't if not. Have your CC ready to book a session when you come see me :)
 
I'm asking a very simple, and relevant question here, no one needs to turn this into an attack of any kind.

And I think this is a good way to advertise and raise awareness to the training options. I think you see some of that going on already on this thread.

You think a few threads over the course of a few months is advertised heavily!!!! Lets get real lestat. Your not as smart as you like to think you are Almost any one can see why you make threads like this. For the drama effect and the shit talking that you can sit back and watch unfold. After all thats what c&c is all about.

The fact is even if omega had 100 certifications you would not be any more interested in the program then you were when you started the thread.

He is in it for aggravation. I bet I can bump an almost identicla thread by him from weeks ago. He likes to blast Omega every so often...

you are wrong, seems like people are really jumpy and defensive about this.

I tried to PM Omega directly but he's got me on his ignore list.

ive never asked about personal training certs, I was looking into getting a cert today and was curious as to what the board trainers have, i didn't see it listed anywhere.

LOL He is bonafied, but it need not matter to you. You will not be extended an invitation to become a part of Omega Project, "not at any price", or so I heard LOL.

lol, figures.

now who's attacking who?

it was a simple quesiton with a simple answer, yet people started getting jumpy.

if you pre-emptively disqualified me from the program, it is I who should be getting defensive, but of course I'm not.
 
by the way, we have 2-3 regular trainers at my gym (corporate gym) and I am going to ask them the same thing, i doubt they will get nearly as defensive.

Bro you're not fooling any one. Not a single person. Unless they are as dumb as dog shit. tip toe around it all you like. Play the word games and all the bull shit you think your o so good at.

You can wash a pig a hundred times and its still a pig.

well just keep in mind who is doing the insulting on this thread, i'll give you a hint, its not me.
 
needto, you should separate the board bullshit from business.

I have been critical of OMEGA personally in the past, but I have not been of his program. I love the work he did with perkele.

The only thing I've said that was critical is that the slogal "Illusion is not Delusion" was a bit cliche, and if I personally was going to go the trainer route, I'd get more value out of an in person trainer.

Note, that has nothing to do with OMEGA personally, just my preference and opinion, but I take nothing away from what he's done with past clients, or other good bros like sublimezm.
 
Lestat said:

So if this is just a general question about what personal training certificates to get. Why ask us and not a personal trainer in the gym or area you want to work in? < if that was no good and you just had to ask EF directly, why a thread to EF frank and not just a PM, e-mail or phone call to the guy?
You can return the VM i left you 2 weeks ago for instance.
If there was no other way but to ask EF about it, why ask about the Omega project specifically? We have a whole consultation program here, yet you ask about a section of it.


Why = aggravation

1) I do plan on asking the trainers in my gym
2) I asked EF frank because he's posted about the program, so I figured he could answer question. YOu are right, i should have PMed him and I will now.
3) I tried calling you back bro but got the message. Now that phone # is no longer in my recent calls. Can you call me in 30 minutes?
4) I am curious as to the certs of other board consultants, I am just not sure who does what. Omega's plan has been the one i've seen the most about.

give me a ring bro

I dont get it though
why is it a bad thing to want to know the education of a person you are buying a service from?

Id want to know the Doctor who was doing surgery on me at least went to a reputable medical school

they think I'm doing it to discredit OMEGA.

I tried to explain this is not the case, but apparently needto thinks im a pig.

Should be a very simple answer.

Lets practice.

Wulfgar, what personal trainer certs do you hold? (I would have asked you before but didn't know you had any)
 
Wulfgar said:

www.cosmetic-md.com

This guy is the best. Board certified PLASTIC surgeon, one of only 7K in the USA.

Does over 200 Gynecomatia correction per year. Worked on Dave Palumbo and Craig Kovacs to name a a couple... His patient list is a who-is-who of the IFBB . . .
 
needtogetaas said:
What you say. I couldn't hear you over all the squealing. :)
I always thought you were above that sort of bullshit man, even moreso now that you are a member of the board staff. Take a cue from BRR, just because you don't always agree with someone, doesn't mean you should disrespect them.

Wulfgar, what personal trainer certs do you hold? (I would have asked you before but didn't know you had any)
I am certified through ACE, NASM(actually I hold 3 of thier certs, the PT cert, performance enhancement specialist and the corrective exercise specialist), USA weightlifting, NSCA CSCS, NCSF, Baylor academy of sports medicine, plus a few smaller certs like AFAA, APEX nutrition and a few others

damn!

which one do you think is the "best" (I know that is subjective).

Also, what do you think of NESTA, i think they are the only one that is a lifetime cert.

I talked to him before I had my gyno surgery done last year

he didnt do the procedure but my plastic surgeon used his techniques

I am not familiar with NESTA currently

I set the precedent that my company only recognizes 4 certs and a degree in a relatied field when it comes to pay structure nd bonuses


Id have to say if you are looking for general knowledge the NSCA cert is bar-none the best(but you need a degree just to be able to be eligable to get it). ACE is a great secondary cert

the most functional as far as program design and diagnosis and treatment of movement impariment syndromses is NASM and their secondary certs.

Baylor for me was the toughest testing wise but I took that one a LONG time ago.

Good thing! Blau really developed a good method of Gyno correction, I wish every surgeon in the USA would use his technique. Too many bros with fucked up operations out there.

the problem is not removing enough of the gland so the gyno grows back. I think they took out almost 95% of mine on the dissection and no one can even tell i have a scar.

my surgeon is local and is actually a client of mine. He really did an outstanding job

Our history is exactly why I take every thing you say as a joke or a drama starter.

If this thread had been made my lets say SLAYER69 over in the aas forum. It would have taken a whole different turn. :)

If I had a customer who came into my restaurant every day and got a meal. Yet complained about that meal every time to the point others heard him. I would stop serving him sooner or later.

I think you have complained about one meal to many.

Wulfgar, do you agree the CSCS is one of the better credentials? Meh on the Apex nutrition certificates. IMHO guys like John Berardi (phd, CSCS) take the best approach with specific and measurable goals as far as nutrition. His precision nutrition system with gourmet nutrition book are excellent resources

I agree
Apex is teh gay. I had to take it years ago when I worked at 24 hour fitness

Berardi is a good bro

CSCS is probably the "best" out there and the only one recognized by the major profesional sports teams and the Olympics. They are really just about general knowledge on exercise biomechanics, phys and kines. Nothing really too heavy on program design. you want to learnthat goto NASM

Apex is teh gay. I had to take it years ago when I worked at 24 hour fitness

Berardi is a good bro

CSCS is probably the "best" out there and the only one recognized by the major profesional sports teams and the Olympics. They are really just about general knowledge on exercise biomechanics, phys and kines. Nothing really too heavy on program design. you want to learnthat goto NASM
what i meant to say was wulfgar is a fatboy
 
well if the quality of omega's products has any indication on how well he manages the omega project u guys have nothing to worry about ....It will be top notch!

If I had a customer who came into my restaurant every day and got a meal. Yet complained about that meal every time to the point others heard him. I would stop serving him sooner or later.

I think you have complained about one meal to many.
well then you don't really know me, because if you did, you'd know that I actually did some work for the restuarant.

Believe me, I've taken far more abuse than I've dished out, even you wouldn't disagree with that.

You just take issue when I am even the least bit critical of something you have a vested interest in. Imagine if everyone was that way.... you should know was well as anyone, you've gotta have a thick skin on this board.

Big rick rock please make lestat look like a fool once again and tell him what I make off of the omega project.



I'll give you a hint lestat. Its nothing!!!!!!!!!!!!

So sorry to burst your little bubble again but I help out on the omega project for nothing more then the satisfaction that people are gaining from it. Now keep putiing your foot in your mouth.
 
And just because I am calling you out on the bullshit you're trying to sling in no way means you are bothering me or getting under my skin. Your talking to me bro. I got skin of steel. Or maybe you really don't know me. Maybe you don't remember what I have been threw and don around here. Think about that.

Re: Questions about personal training certifications

please don't get defensive, this is not an attack on anyone.

What PT certifications do the board trainers (Omega, Nelson, etc) hold?
NASM? ACE? NESTA? just curious. was looking into getting one myself and want to know what people here hold.
lestat, i personally do not have any certifications and i look better than 99.9% of the personal trainers and certified fitness experts i have met. i also produce better results than the aforementioned. my business partner was shellin out 8k a year for a high falootin vegas trainer. for 2 yrs he payed this bum to train him. i put him on my program and he got more results in 8 weeks than he did with his "expert" in 2 years. ( his words ) this is not an isolated incident. i have worked with lots of ppl with similar results. don't conflate expertise with paper.

I agree that it isn't so important to have written credentials as a personal trainer, but I think it's vitally important to know the credentials for someone that is shelfing out supplements and giving routines on what juice to take. I find it hillarious when I see people in the jooser forum trying to talk like a doctor about how and what hormones/supplements directly effect the a persons physical inner anatomy.. Simply outrageous, getting all their information off something they seen someone else type and instantly believing everyword due to their karma points and join date. Funny thing is those same joozers that try and sound like doctors say that constantly using synthetic hormones have no effect on long term health.
