The Official Certified Personal Trainers ONLY Thread

[CT_Muscle]

No but you do. Kinda works like this junior, if you can train an athlete successfully you can train just about anyone, it doesn't work the other way around. See what I'm getting at?

I have to agree with Coach here. And if he is making 300K a yr can you argue that?

[SF1900]

nobody needs a "personnal trainer"... all you need is a brain and the ability to read...

watch videos on the internet and you ll learn how to "lift weights"...

This is the best post I have ever read on GB

Certs don't mean shit.

lmao..hilarious...true.. .but hilarious

[noworries]

Hugeripped are you saying that someone like you who has (from what you have written) a tremendous amount of education and book reading can put someone on a weight training program without themselves ever being in a gym and actually have used weights and various machines.  God I hope not.  Cause it is trainers like that, that have no business being trainers.  All the fancy certification and mail order degrees can't beat actual experience.  Man I loved it back when I started.  If you had a questions or wanted to train with somebody you just ask.  I would do curls with Lou and learn more from him and Roy Callendar than any trainer.  Just watching that little fucker Chris Dickerson trains abs was a clinic.  And it was all free

All I see is that you tried to pass off a statistically invalid comparison as a pseudo factual basis for some unfounded claim. Education and credentials speak for themselves. I have an M.S. in Exercise Science after my name and a degree from one of the best schools in the country hanging on my wall. You have 3 online certifications and the claim that you were "6 months from graduating." If you want, you can use me as a reference on your next application to Bally's.

Haha...f**king Ron and his gimmick screenings.

[Captain Equipoise]

Haha, I've never been an employee of any fitness club in my life. And yes, I WILL compare my training knowledge to your "Masters" degree. You don't seem to get that although it's great to obtain your 'Masters" degree, real knowledge doesn't come until years down the road. You really think just because you get a piece of paper that says "I've passed tests" that automatically makes you an expert? Fuck you've got a lot to learn.

Do me a favor, give an example of program you would recommend for an athlete, say a football player. I'll be waiting for your response.

1. You would have to be utterly retarded to get a 'Masters' in fitness... ROFL I could understand your passion if it was a real field like chemistry, biology, literature, etc. But you're like the gold medal winner at the Special Olympics, anyway you cut it you're still retarded

2. Coach has a proven income of between a quarter and half a million dollars a year, what do you make? $23.50 an hour !?

3. LOL just LOL

4. I'm a certified personal trainer in Canada, I have a CFP certification so I'm not talking out my ass. LOL it was a weekend course I did when I was 20 and it means jack shit if you don't know what you're doing or you look like shit.

[buffdnet]

show me a big ladies man, I'll show you a big koksucker.
if this assclown isn't a gimmick he's yet another educated idiot
who has people doing excercises on those idiot balls.

[Palpatine Q]

So what certification is the best...does it even matter?

I have  people asking me to train them daily....do i even need a cert to take their money on the weekends?

Can-Fit-Pro is the joke of all personal training certifications in North America. The fact that you tried to qualify yourself with a CFP certification completely invalidates your opinion. I only blame myself, I should have been more clear in my initial post that such scam certifications as the ISSA and the CFP are not welcome in this thread. Thanks for posting.

You should have a nationally accredited certification for insurance purposes. If you have a B.S. then the CSCS certification is best. If you did not graduate from college go with the NCSF.

[Coach is Back!]

I will say this about having a certification(s). You have to have one to keep insurance and you have to have a certain amount of CEU's (which is a good thing) to keep them active. Other than they don't mean shit. What this idiot doesn't get is even a doctor when he/she gets that degree has to put in some serious real world internship before he/she can even call themselves a "Doctor" why? Because all that degree (any degree) means is you have met the MINIMUM requirements to earn that degree.

Hey, I found a pic of our threadstarting hero, hugeripped

I don't have a CSCS but I have 2 that work for me. I do need an intern for clerical work.....you just might fit the bill.

[buffdnet]

[dyslexic]

I won't work hard enough for 300K a year. I hate people too much. Fucking bitches with all their dirty laundry ain't worth the time.


I will do around 100- 125K a year and set my own hours. Fuck that.


I have other bitches do my initial consults for me just so they can weed through the stalkers and head cases. ("head" as in psycho)...

[Fatpanda]
