How do you become a personal fitness trainer?
With a flat rate of about 60 bucks/hour to work with ordinary people, there's very little hope there unless you sleep outside and live on no food. You'll get more if you're extremely good, and earn a reputation so that celebrities seek you out to train with you. That's mostly connections, because I know a lot of good personal trainers who are dirt poor, and a lot of quacks who just joined an organization, like a school or private physical therapy practice, and made it up through the ranks. In this economy, it'll be even harder. Best answer would be to find a very rich organization that charges a shitload for personal training. Join that organization, instead of working on your own. Then work until you have enough money to invest in the stock market. When you have enough, play the market, you have about as much chance of winning big as you do in Vegas. Best way is either go back to school, or make some rich friends.
How do i become a personal fitness trainer?
You'll need to be an experienced athlete yourself (which you probably are, with all the athletic activities you are doing) and you will need to take some courses after you finish high school. You will need the following: 1. AFAA (Aerobics and fitness association of America) 2. NSCA ( National strength and conditioning association) 3. ACE ( American council on exercise) 4. NASM ( American college of sports medicine) 5. A degree from a post secondary institution in one or more of ( Physiology, exercise science, kinesiology, physical education, sports medicine, fitness management.) 6. Experience (two years normally) I got the answer from my source below..***:D

First of all, I don’t think market saturation is relevant to your question. Yes, the fitness industry is grossly oversaturated (mostly with inept and unqualified trainers who haven’t got the slightest clue what they’re doing), but you’re asking about the highest level of success that the most talented and motivated people in the industry can achieve. One has nothing to do with the other.To answer your question, no, it’s not possible to become a multimillionaire doing one-on-one personal training. There are only so many hours in the day that you can work, and there is a limit to the amount of money people are willing to pay for personal training, so if you’re trading your time for money, there aren’t enough hours in the workday to earn high six, or seven figures per year as a personal trainer.The caveat to this answer is that if you start a personal training business and grow it to a point where you have one or more studios and a team of trainers working for you, then the sky’s the limit for how much you can make doing that, as a business like that is scalable. But that wouldn’t make you a multimillionaire personal trainer — it would make you a multimillionaire businessperson.
What is the success rate of becoming a personal fitness trainer?
ISSA isn't college. Its a certification program. If you're looking to make fitness your career, I would go to an accredited college FIRST and get your bachelor's degree in Kinesiology, Exercise Science or any other exercise-based degree. ACSM says degrees in allied-health fields like nursing will be accepted, but i advise against that as they will stop accepting them after 2011 and will require an exercise-based degree. After that, go for certification from ACSM (American College of Sports Medicine). ACE is the most widely recognized certification for personal trainers but ACSM gives the top certifications in the industry. It is possible to get their personal trainer certification without a degree, but I assume you want better pay and many of the higher certifications require a bachelor's degree. Their exercise specialist certification, for example, allows you to work with clients who have or are at risk for cardiovascular, pulmonary and metabolic diseases. Generally, those that require more education give more pay. ACSM Registered Clinical Exercise Physiologists for example require, not just a bachelor's degree but that you get your Masters. Naturally, they will earn more than say...a ISSA certified personal trainer who would earn on average between $22-$45 an hour. Read into the different certifications here: http://www.acsm.org/AM/Template.cfm?Sect... So dont say, im going to be a personal trainer first. Get your degree from an accredited college. If you are a senior, REMEMBER, Common App is due the beginning of January. DONT BE LATE!

Yes.Examples of activities that might work well:- Become a high paid athlete - or be a trainer for them such as a big team coach- A popular actor, singer, TV show host, basically a popular entertainer. Actually if you think about it, elite athletes could be considered to be in this category- Famous artist (painter, photographer, writer, etc)- Any kind of highly paid advisor (Tony Robbins was already a millionnaire in the 80s)- Various kinds of investments. A computer is a big help to get information, but if you're good, you can do without. For example a significant part of real estate investment can be done without a computer (looking for places, talking to people, etc)- Some kind of high level management role (company founder, CEO, film/tv producer, etc) where most of the job is strategy and/or people relationship management. And have an assistant do all the work with computers such as email.- Very good salesman- Various criminal activities, for example drug or weapon related. Or con-artist, frauds, scams, etc.- Various niche activities (celebrity trainer, luxury party organizer, ...)- Marry someone rich without a prenup (or with a favorable one)- Inherit money- Become close to someone who might give you a million dollars. (example: photographer François-Marie Banier got a lot of presents from French billionnaire Liliane Bettencourt)- Corruption (ie. politician, high power official, ...)Humorous / yet it does sometimes happen:- Be a cult leader- Become a dictator- Win the lottery, do some one super lucky investment that skyrockets like crazy, find a big pack of gold/diamonds, a treasure, ...
Is there anyone here that is a personal fitness trainer or is a musculear that can help me bulking up?
The cardinal rule for building muscle is lifting heavy. Lift heavy to get big. That's what you'll hear the muscle-brained trainers tell you. It is correct, but if you want any exercise professional should be able to get more in depth with you. You need your muscles to hypertrophy and the way to do that is to create little micro-tears in the muscle sarcomere membrane called the sarcolemma. First thing is first. Get your 1 rep max bench figured out. After that, try to train between 70 and 80% of your max weight pumping out 6 to 10 reps. Write down what you did weight and rep wise. Every week you need to either increase weight and keep reps the same or you need to keep weight the same and increase reps. The muscle must be taxed beyond its regular limit to see hypertrophy. After each workout, get some fast burning protein in your system. Whey is the common one everyone uses. Chocolate milk also works very well. You want to drink this before an hour after your workout is done. This will rush key amino acids to the muscle and help with repair. Final things to remember: Don't overdo it. Chances are after 8 to 12 weeks or so you're gonna need some rest. A recovery week it never a bad thing! Get the weight on the bar down and work your reps and lift speed to increase your central nervous systems ability to lift fast while letting your large motor units heal. Another this is eat right. Don't obsess over high protein diets or anything like that. Remember that anything your body doesnt need more of will just be pee'd out. Eat healthy, avoid processed snacks/pop/beer, and lift regularly.
