Who has become Personal Trainers post WLS

 I really really want to get my CPT. I know there are a few others of you out there, just wondering what program you used ACE, NASM? Do you mostly just do it for yourself or have you had success making an income off of it - if you are doing it for an income is it your own business or through a gym, was it easy to get on with a gym? Any other helpful advice or info is appreciated.

Thanks!
Melanie

Hi Melanie.   I did ACE.  I'll be taking my test in a couple months after I do some crash studying.   I'll probably go after NASM too eventually.  It's the grand-daddy of all CPT certifications and it's a very difficult test.  

I don't plan on quitting my job anytime soon to do personal training full time.  I have a buddy that owns a gym in the town I work in and he offered to let me do some training there.   I'll probably do a few hours a week as a small supplementation to my income.  Best thing you can do is get on with a gym.  They will get your clients for you most of the time while taking a cut of your hourly charge.  Check around and see which will offer you the best deal.

Best of luck!
