Took me just under a year and a half. Was very hard work but i honestly feel i can train people better now with Lee Haneys certificate.
Figured this certficate would take me places considering its owned by Lee Haney who was arguably the greatest bodybuilder ever, doubt any reputable gym or organisation would say no.
Anyway anyone have any suggestions on what to do now? I think i have the know how to train bodybuilders and your average joe now to lose weight and gain muscle mass. Im not expecting much but what kind of job oppurtunities could i get?
Am looking at annual starting salary of 40-50k a year

The jobs that I have seen for personal training in gyms usually only recognize specific organizations (NASM, ACE, ISSA, NFPT).
Why did you choose Haney's certification program and not one that is nationally recognized?

Its not nationally recoqnized?
I thought Lee Haney was famous for his muscles and mr olympia wins
Learning his knowledge of training and increasing muscle mass without anabolic steroids is everyones goal

Ive never heard of it before and all the jobs I have looked at for personal training never list it as a nationally recognized program.

One job stated:

"Nationally accredited personal training certification is required (i.e. ACSM, NASM, NSCA, CSCS, ACE)."

I could be wrong.

40-50k/year???

You have to make it, nobody is gonna dish it out to you. But people today don't wanna train. They like obstical courses where you go station to station do pushups, run then do burpee's...

No way I could put people or encourage them through such BS.

Depends what type of clientele you get. If you go to an upscale gym in the Upper West side of Manhattan, youre going to get a lot of old rich people who just want to try and get in better shape. That is who you have to target. Pretty much the 50-100 year old crowd lol. Or "Soccer Moms." Other than that, many want to do obstacle courses.

Sure, but working in that gym will probably cost the trainer 2k in rent off the bat. And people like that are BORING to train! Pro gym here back in the day used to charge $1200 and that is not in the rich part of town to put it lightly.... I can imagine up scale gyms asking 2k a month to have an office.

Just don't tell them you post on this site, lol!!!

IF youre a trainer and working for a gym, you dont pay rent. The company pays rent, not you. I am not talking about owning the place. I am talking about working for a gym company. If I ever became a personal trainer, I cant be assed into starting my own business and paying rent. Id just work for the company as a trainer.

You guys don't understand.  Once you pass Lee Haney's course, you get 40-50K a year whether you train people or not.  Don't ask... you just do!
