Title: CSCS
Post by: DS Phil Hunter on February 09, 2026, 06:21:52 AM
Has anyone here got a CSCS certification or coached athletes? (no not bodybuilding prep). Did you get a degree in Exercise Science or Strength and Conditioning? I'm just wondering how many people here worked in the profession? Thanks.

I have. Are you trolling or is this a legit question? We only have about 5 real posters on here....everyone else is a gimmick.

Best people to answer the question are Coach is back, and Venom Vince both have the cscs certification. Both have extensive experience to answer any of your questions.

Hi. Thanks for the replies. No I'm not trolling. I did a Sport and Exercise Science related degree and coached some amateur boxers and track and field athletes. I wondered if anyone here had any similar experience. I know the rate of attrition in the strength and conditioning professional is high so was interested if anyone had experience here?

I am a real person. I used to post over at Boxing 24 forum until they assaulted the site with ads so you can't read the posts and I couldn't figure how to block the ads. They have a board called The Lounge that borders on coarse at times however not as caustic or ribald as here but overall a nice bunch. I've followed getbig on and off for over a decade and popped in and out to read the posts but not posted much myself.

they have a personal trainers coaching diploma at my gym... its 12 weeks and no one ever fails...

Saw one of the "personal trainers" doing machine side laterals with her elbows tucked in the other day, and people are paying her for advice.
