personal trainer certificate -- CANADA

I actually e-mailed Maribeth

Too funny! I exchange e-mail with her quite a bit & consider her a friend. She is a REALLY cool chick whom I really admire.

"Can you get a fitness diploma through at home study or distance studies?"

Meaning a Bachelor's degree? I don't know. I just graduated with a Bachelors in business in May 99 - I don't want to go back for another degree in science unless I'll make fitness my full time career. I dont' think I'd want to train full time tho, although maybe physical therapy would interest me enough. I'm not ready for a complete change of career yet though, which is why I've personally ruled out working towards another degree for the time being. What I really need to do is get my Masters in Busines & focus on my primary career.. soon!

Simon Fraser University in Burnaby (BC) has Health and Fitness Certification that can be done by distance ed. Try looking at http://www.sfu.ca/cde/health.html

Has anyone been certified by CanFitPro in Canada?

I'm studying the manual now and have by course next month.
I'm learning all the muscle names, but do I really need to know the origin and insertion of all the muscles.
I know it is good to know this stuff but will I be tested on it?

The test is multiple choice so ...
