Why Certifications Matter
Here are some areas worth highlighting if clients ask about the case or if potential clients aren’t quite convinced of the importance of working with a certified professional.
A Time of Renewal
Many of us in the industry have been feeling lost in the weeds after 2 years of constant turmoil. In this time of renewal, as you work to dig yourself out and sow new seeds of success, it’s important to use all the tools at your disposal so you can grow and flourish.
Diversify Your Personal Training Services
Diversifying your fitness business increases your income and gives you an edge over other fitness trainers. But you can have a satisfying career as a certified personal trainer without doing things the old way.
Turn Your Passion Into a Thriving Fitness Career
The personal training industry is a rapidly growing field, which aims to serve the needs of a wide variety of the population. Fitness facilities can be a resource for individuals to expand their healthy behaviors and build a habit of fitness for a lifetime. Cultivating a culture of a healthy fitness lifestyle stems from having an NSCA-certified, well-educated personal trainer, who can ensure people are engaging in fitness behaviors and performing exercises safely and effectively. NSCA certifications equip professionals to educate, inform and inspire communities to lead active, healthy lifestyles.
The Dirty Little Secret in Fitness: Sue’s Story
Aches, pains, strains and stiffness can creep in, seemingly out of nowhere. For some of us, the pain affects the quality of our daily lives, and pinpointing the cause can seem like a wild goose chase. This was the case for the creator of the MELT Method, Sue Hitzmann. Developing MELT’s innovative approach to self-care—after an extensive dive down the rabbit hole of neurofascial research—was her ticket out of pain and many symptoms of aging. Two decades later, thousands of people have joined her on that journey.

Want to Improve Clients’ Results? Become a DNA-Based Fitness Coach
As a trainer, you’ve likely had clients say things to you like, “I just look at food and gain weight” or “I’m doing what you’re telling me to and not seeing results.” It’s beyond frustrating for a coach to feel like they can’t help a client. But here’s the thing: It’s not your fault. Without insight into your client’s genetics, you’re left with trial and error to find his or her optimal diet and exercise program.
