The problem is, people only follow the advise for a few days, then they go back to their old ways. As a former manager of a weight control center I have tried to help numerous individuals and not one has ever followed my advise. So forget about it. People don't listen until they hit bottom. Don't mean to be negative about it, it's just the way it is. No you do not need to be certified. The problem is, people only follow the advise for a few days, then they go back to their old ways.

They always need cover and that will help you get a foot in the door. Start networking ask your course provider if they know of anyone who you can shadow during classes. And do some hours for them with out pay they will always be happy for a helping hand.. Put your name down for cover if a gym needs a Group instructor they will call you.

I would never go to a consultant who did not have established certifications or licenses. The more credentials you have the more valued your advice will be to people.

He is making a killing!!!! I think I am going to start doing this with him. I hope this has helped you a bit.....good luck My brother was a trainer for 24 here in Houston, and he is currently training his clients at his house…..he has this new thing he calls the buddy system…..for example say you train a person for 1 hour and charge them 50$, well what he does is he says find a buddy, and you train them at the same time, and the rate could increase or stay the same for you, but it will make it cheaper for them…..and you don’t lose your time as you train them together….he says girls are down for this type of session…..He also is starting to train kids, and again multiple kids, but there, it is kind of like a camp, so you charge them whatever…..Always get all your clients meal plans so they have something to go on instead of guessing.

Get a friendly masseuse to offer deals with you to help her business as well as yours--most gyms have a spa in the area. My daughter is right next door to the gym.
