Do you really want your health in the hands of a weekend personal trainer?

Personal trainers have a horrible reputation. When someones mentions personal trainers they think of big meat heads, who were jocks in high school, and couldn't do anything in school so they just became a personal trainer.

In my opinion, true personal trainers are professionals who have a MINIMUM of a four year degree in exercise science and have an accredited certification. In addition, they keep there certification current by attending seminars and conferences in order to expand there knowledge.

Unfortunately, there are personal trainers out there training clients with no certifications or schooling. There are several organizations that offer weekend certifications to become a personal trainer. However, do you really want your health in the hands of someone who learned everything in two days. NO!

I am 6 months away from receiving my bachelors degree in exercise science, and I don't even know half of what there is to know in the world of fitness. That is why every day I try to learn as much as I can about the human body and how it works. I am constantly attending conferences and seminars in order to improve my knowledge about fitness and currently in the process of applying to graduate school.

So, next time you meet with your trainer or choose to work with one, ask them about their credentials. Then think to yourself, do you really want your health in the hands of a weekend personal trainer or would you rather work with an educated professional exercise specialist!?

  3. Hmm it looks like your site ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so I guess I'll just sum it up what I wrote and say, I'm thoroughly enjoying your blog.
    I as well am an aspiring blog writer but I'm still new to everything. Do you have any helpful hints for novice blog writers? I'd genuinely
    appreciate it.
