become a personal trainer.

... since I haven’t gotten a call, that means I’ve passed my basic certification test. Yay me.

.... this particular certification course only calls you if you don’t pass (which seems a bit cruel). They said calls would go out by around Tuesday, and I still haven’t gotten a call. Could I actually have passed?

That would be righteous.

...I took my certification test (and madly, violently bombed the practical portion of the test), and (more usefully) talked to someone who said that could hook me up with shadowing opportunities in personal training.

Before, I’d just gotten lots of, ‘yeah, we can’t let you do that because blah blah blah insurance, client confidentiality blah blah blah.’

... internships. I’ve been trying to find something around town, but everywhere I go there’s this issue with client confidentiality. It makes sense, but that doesn’t make it any less frustrating. How does one learn this nonsense if you can’t follow anyone around who knows what they’re doing?

... certification course (AAAI/ISMA) that is coming up pretty soon. Now it’s just a waiting game.

This is really something that I want to accomplish. I want to lose about 15-20 pounds and just continue to build and go from that point. I am not overweight but this is one of those things that a person does just to prove that they can do it. I WANT TO PROVE THAT I CAN DO IT!!!!!!!!!!

... dude advised me to get my AAAI/ISMA certification (again, in my case) to get my foot in the door at their establishment. That’s encouraging, to some extent, and so I’m planning to take the class again when there’s one in town.

... certification ran out. At least I know that I can do it. I still need to get a real cert (like ACSM, or ACE), and I need to get experience. We’ll see how it goes.

I love fitness and being in shape, and this would be an awesome part-time job.

I want to become a personal trainer beause i love fitness and being strong i also am interested in sharing this with other people i lift with people at school and they say im very motivating so i to motivate people to make them selves better.
