If you've searched Instagram, YouTube or Tik Tok, you've probably seen tons of different fitness coaches and trainers, but how do you know if a trainer is legit?
Over the years I have seen hundreds of people start selling training and nutrition programs online with ZERO credentials, zero experience training real clients and no follow through.
It's not just fake, it's dangerous.
Helping guide someone's training and nutrition is a HUGE responsibility and I don't take it lightly.
So, whether you work with me inside RECOMMENDATION or choose another plan, here's why you should make sure it's with a Certified Personal Trainer.
Why train with a certified personal trainer?
A trainer certified through a nationally accredited program such as NASM must take intensive courses and exams to become educated in:
- Basic exercise science
- The science of human movement
- Fitness assessments
- Program design and the Optimum Performance Training (OPT) model.
- Speed, agility and quickness training
- Best nutrition practices
- Client interaction and professional development
Like many professions, we also need to complete some continuing education to ensure we keep up with the latest techniques, research and training methods.
I have personally completed over 20 training specializations including antenatal & postnatal training, flexibility, yoga and recently gained a new certification as a carrier Change expert from NASM.
Not ALL certificates are created equal.
Whether you are looking for a trainer or to get certified yourself, make sure you find a program that is nationally accredited.
This is really the only way to ensure that it is 100% legit and meets the highest training standards.
The National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) as one of the most prestigious and prestigious companies and where I get my qualifications.
If you want to expand your knowledge or even become a trainer yourself, definitely check them out.
