If you've ever browsed Instagram, YouTube, or Tik Tok, you've probably seen tons of different fitness trainers and trainers, but how do you know if a trainer is legit?
Over the years I have watched hundreds of people start selling training and nutrition programs online with ZERO certifications, real clients with zero training experience, and no oversight.
This is not only misleading but also dangerous.
Helping guide someone's training and nutrition is a HUGE responsibility, and I don't take it lightly.
So even if you train with me TO MOVE or choose another plan, here's why you should make sure you're with a Certified Personal Trainer.
Why Should You Train With a Certified Personal Trainer?
An instructor certified through a nationally accredited program such as NASM must take intensive courses and testing to receive training in:
- Basic exercise science
- human movement science
- Conformity assessments
- Program design and Optimum Performance Training (OPT) model
- Speed, agility and quickness training
- Nutrition best practices
- Customer interaction and professional development
Like many professions, we are required to complete a certain amount of continuing education to ensure we stay up to date on the latest techniques, research and training methods.
I have personally completed over 20 different training specialties including pre- and postnatal training, agility, yoga, and recently received a new certification in Behavioral. Change expert NASM.
Not ALL certificates are created equal.
Whether you're looking for an instructor or want to become certified yourself, be sure to find a nationally accredited program.
This is the only way to be sure that it is truly 100% legal and meets the highest educational standards.
National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) It is one of the most respected and reputable companies from which I received my certifications.
If you're looking to expand your knowledge or even become an instructor yourself, definitely check these out.
