I am not sure where you are located but I teach a National PT Certification Class in Dallas Tx. Check out this organization for a class in your area or online. Www.witseducation.com

Hi Cheryl,
Go for the gold standard in the industry ether the National academy of sports medicine www.nasm.org or American college of sports medicine www.acsm.com That’s my opinion. I feel being certified by ether of these two lends a great deal of credibility to you as a profession trainer.

Best of luck!
Dave

There is no license required nor do you have to be certified
With that being said it would be in your best interest to obtain a certification from a Nationally Recognized Organization
ACSM is the foundation of research

You can begin by checking into Personal Training certifying organizations by conducting an online search. There are many organizations offering personal trainer certifications so you would be wise to take a hard look at each one’s requirements for certification, acceptance among gyms in your area, and cost (although I would NOT use cost as the ultimate determining factor here).

I hope that this helps. Good luck!
