Are additional certifications valuable to a new entry in the industry?
I received my personal trainer certification through ACE a couple of months ago. I’ve been seeking employment but have found little in the way of openings. I was wondering if additional certifications in areas that interest me would be worthwhile. I was looking into Crossfit and Combine360. Does anyone have any input on those or other suggestions?
Continuing education is essential. I would look into what is currently in demand in your area. This would include visiting potential places where you could work and asking them what types of instructors they are looking for and what certifications would be required.
As far as employment opportunities, I would recommend making your own opportunities happen for you. Let all of you friends and family know that you are looking for clients. If you are working with a few clients, let them know you are looking as well.
