    Does anyone have the personal training certificate?

    I’ve been boxing for a long time and thinking about going to a personal training school. I love boxing and training but would like to know more about personal training or a more well-rounded approach to health and exercise. I am thinking to become a personal trainer and looking for a personal training certification. There are hundreds of different companies with their own certification programs. so there is a problem to decide which one of the certification to choose and I heard that its difficult to pass a test for getting a certificate. That's why I am confused. I have searched online and found this article https://www.ptpioneer.com/personal-t...hools-degrees/ to learn and pass a personal trainer certificate. It is related to me but I do not fully agree with this guy. what you guys think about this article. Do you think the information is good or anybody can suggest a more authentic way of information? Thanks for all the help!

    Go to school for sports medicine or kinesiology or whatever or just be like every other PT and just say that you are one because you decided to be one.

      Which country are you in? In the UK there are a lot of people and companies who offer you all the training, get you excited to sign up, then spring it on you that you end up indebted to them once you are certified. Usually to the tune of a couple of grand. They also claim to help you find clients and things like that when you're qualified and ready to go, but they work like a production line and the aftercare once you "graduate" is pretty shoddy. Steer clear of anything that sounds too good to be true when looking at ways to get certified.

        Health and exercise and boxing is almost two opposite directions even if they start together

        Ask yourself what could you teach your clients and are there enough people who would pay you enough for it

        There are lot of fake or wack boxing coaches out there or making videos displaying their shîtty skills

          certified trainer with a masters in kinesiology here.... the test is super easy if ur just trying to get a certificate. some programs can get you a certificate in as little as 2 weeks....i would say hands on experience is what u will need and after getting certified i guarantee you will learn so much more once you get to working and start apply the technical part of it.
