NSCA-CPT Certified

Well everyone, I am now officially certified through the NSCA with their Certified Personal Trainer certification. Oh happy days!

I will now begin my journey into the field. I am undecided on whether I want to work in a gym setting, or if I want to try to build up a client base on my own. Obviously the latter will be infinitely more difficult to start up, but ultimately more rewarding. I think my best course of action will be to work in a gym for a while, get a taste of things, and then move on from there.

Another option might be some online training...hmmm. Perhaps I will set up my own website and see if I can get any interest out of that. I figure, if I can charge very competitive rates for my online advice, I might be on to something. Figure if a live personal training session will cost you anywhere from $50-$100, and you often sign up for multiple sessions, if I can write out say a 4 week program for a trainee online, and be there via email or phone to answer any questions or concerns they may have, and do this all for $50-$75, I wonder if I would get any bites?
