Personal Trainer Online Certifications 101
Written by Admin, July 22nd, 2012   

By Kim Burke

  The internet is a plethora of opportunities for career training and education. This includes careers for individuals wanting to earn their personal trainer certification. With the proliferation of companies that offer online education, it is important to evaluate the programs in pursuit of becoming a certified personal trainer. Especially since not all the organizations in the wellness and fitness industry are NCCA accredited. Those individuals that pursue NCCA accredited personal training certifications are enjoying a huge increase in demand by the leading clubs.

Certainly on the internet, anyone can easily gain access to a personal trainer online certification but legitimate certifications are offered through NCCA accredited programs and must be proctored at a testing center. The NCCA standard set by the fitness industry and other allied health fields is high, and as such, requires any person looking to pursue a career in personal training to engage in the necessary training and earn certification. Common misconceptions with personal training certification are that someone can be qualified in a weekend, or to the contrary, it is very expensive and difficult to achieve. Personal trainer online certification prep classes and distance learning has made the education more readily available, and credible certification agencies assess low cost test fees around $200, allowing one to become a certified personal trainer with less cost.

The ideal situation is to choose the highest quality training program which provides a NCCA accredited certification so that it is recognized by the industry. You would not want to spend money on an online certification as it is not accredited by the National Commission for Certifying Agencies. Without the essential accreditation, your online certification will prove to be useless when applying for jobs as a personal trainer. Employers in the industry use the NCCA to discern legitimate credentials, so if you earn the necessary personal trainer certifications your opportunities will be significant.

If you go through your training and preparation online, you can still achieve a legitimate certification by taking a proctored NCCA accredited exam. You can look for efficient online training centers or college distance learning courses assuming they have the right accreditation and an effective curriculum. If using the internet, be thorough with your research and compare personal trainer online certification prep courses. The choices of legitimate certification are actually limited, but choosing for the right one can seem overwhelming. Just make sure that their price is competitive, their schedules are flexible, their training and certification are fully accredited by the NCCA. Look for tose programs that are offered in colleges and universities. Once you clearly classify your criteria, you can easily identify the right training center to provide your home study course, college distance learning or personal trainer online certification prep program.

The National Council on Strength and Fitness (http://www.ncsf.org) is a professional, member-driven, education and credentialing organization for personal trainers and exercise science professionals to attain their goals. Personal Training Certificate.

Growth Potential For Personal Training Business
Written by Admin, July 15th, 2012   

By Robert Steinhall

  Personal training is a widely sought-after career option. Considering the various benefits that include starting one’s own business, being one’s own boss and of course the potential to earn a good sum of money is attracting more and more people to take it up as a full-time career. If you have the right attitude and the willingness to learn, personal training can be a rewarding career option for you.

Personal Fitness Trainers who are creative and are specialized are making an important contribution to the growth of the fitness industry. While consistently serving their existing clients, they are also seeking new opportunities in new places as well as new demographic sections of the population. While one on one training remains the basic platform, personal fitness trainers are also branching out into partnering and multiple client sessions as well as encouraging the use of the outdoors for their training sessions.

A recent survey shows that the following options are being offered:

-personal training (one-on-one)

-strength training

-fitness assessment

-stretching and/or flexibility

-outdoor personal training

Many personal trainers work with clients who have injuries both chronic and temporary as well as with people who have medical conditions like heart problems or diabetes. Fitness assessments are extensively used to work out specialized programs for these people.

Research shows that many fitness trainers are using portable equipment which they can take to their clients to fulfill their fitness requirements. Training is also taking place in a range of environments including health clubs, gyms and increasingly in the outdoors. Over 70% of the clients stay with the trainers for more than one year clearly suggesting that clients are happy with the result that they are seeing from customized programs designed by the trainers. One on one programs account for well over 90% of the programs offered and many personal trainers believe that this business will continue to grow at a healthy pace. Working with multiple clients may help to reduce the costs but many clients do not mind laying a premium for the exclusive and specialized services of a personal trainer.

Similarly, recent research suggests that strength training is a key part of personal training and bodyweight training is the most popular while slow weight training is the least popular. Stretching and flexibility exercises also play an important role in the overall personal training programs. Specialized training is also becoming increasingly popular with the growth of health clubs that handle the special requirements of physical disability, injury and medical conditions.
