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?

Well you already have a blog, else I'd offer you one on Biggly:

http://www.biggly.com

(you're welcome to one anyway)

I notice you use fitday (you mentioned it on ironmag, I'm a mod on there). I'll be producing an online version of the Biggly Diet $ Exercise software, hopefully well before January 1st next year (new year resolutions an all that).

I was thinking just the other day I could do with someone NSCA certed to help design some online stuff, help in the forum etc.

It's early days at this moment but if you want to get involved drop me a mail at Biggly (webmaster @)

(don't use my gmail account, I rarely read it)

Could be a win-win for both of us, I get your cert' credibility, you get in at the start of what will hopefully become a major project. I'm not talking payment in either direction, just help each other out.

Whether you're interested or not, congratulations on your certificate!
