Thanks as always Jeff! Got my cert. Finished my online cert. Working on nutrition then strength and conditioning and weight loss finally. Im just frying my brain! Your videos dial it in and make everything much easier to visualize.

Watched/listen to both parts about 4 times and I passed my exam this morning on my first try!! Will definitely recommend you to anyone else who needs guidance studying! Thanks!

Awesome stuff u are doing here man be proud of this 😊🫶🏼

awesome, i just reviewed and learned from your video and then i could pass my NASM CPT. thanks for this amazing video. now it's about 7 months I tried to find a job but I couldn't cause I'm non-EU.

After doing some research on Indeed, I’d say 50% of jobs especially in big box gyms don’t require a certification and it’s best to start there. If you can’t make it in those gyms, how can you make it in the specialized ones.

should i read the whole book or are these videos enough to pass the exam? Dont feel like reading 700 pages..

You never talked about ACSM at all?

I'm a pt director with 20+ years experience. Frustrated cause I can't get any improvements approved. And we are an esporta next week back to LA with no rebranding support.

Great video my man, the information here was all worth studying and was way more specific than pocket prep that was just 1,000 questions of good information. I used pocket prep the first time, and failed. Came here, went over the info you provided, and passed easily. For the people using pocket prep, make sure you watch this video more than you use that app. It’s easy to memorize answers. But you really need to know the WHY. The exam doesn’t have any questions worded like pocket preps. They will give you a clients entire workout routine, v02 max, assessment numbers and then tell you the client wants to run a 10k, and what you should do to help them. Emphasize of FITT-vp and the part where he says always increase the TIME first. Thanks for the video again man. If I didn’t just spend $200 retaking the exam I’d donate to the channel. Maybe once I get that first client ;)

Man I’m working on my ACSM cert already :/

Excellent video thank you

Very informative, Thanks

Just want to say thank you for making these videos! Your NASM videos help me pass my certification exam! I am starting out with one client and this seems to be the best option to start with.

Liking the video is the correct answer, UNLESS subscribe is a choice too, then typically it would be both

Thank you a bunch. This was very helpful 🎉 I

I would love a full break down! Thank you so much for your videos

as a future online coach, this really helps! Thank so much for making this and I hope you would update this very soon as pricing would be changed because of inflation and other factors.

ALL FITNESS CERTS ARE SCAMS AND MONEY GRABS (that don’t require previous education). The idea that you can condense a kinesiology/exercise science, nutrition, or any other health related degree down into 3 months to then be considered qualified is a joke. If qualified professionals are what people want, then you have to put years of work in to understand the material at a deep level. That’s not even mentioning the business side, which is often misleading and predatory as well in the fitness industry. What’s next, MD certifications instead of med school for treating hospital patients? Certs are the equivalent of money guru’s selling their courses, garbage!

I appreciate the video but for Massage Therapy you're grossly underestimating how we "don't need to know"

I worked for LA Fitness and Blink Fitness (both are owned by Equinox), and let me tell you, they were a joke. I didn't earn money working for them, if anything I lost money. Not to mention the people who work for these companies at the corporate level do not care about the success of their clients, nor do they care about whether or not the people working for them make a profit. Unless you really need the experience, avoid these sorts of companies like the plague! Also, bear in mind that you'll very likely need to get a second or even third job.

thank you for ur great content

I never thanked you for this, so thank you for all the NASM and PT business content. I binged your videos a lot in the latter half of 2023 and the first few months of 2024. Failed my NASM first attempt by 2 points and then passed the second attempt. Now I’ve got my brand identity set up and am training my first client as an independent trainer. He’s lost 20lbs so far in 2 months and is very happy, and I’m happy for him. So again, thank you. You helped so much!

Question: I work at a local gym part-time as a personal trainer and nutritionist. I want to start my own online Health and Fitness business. I am older PT and want to share what I've learned as a trainer to help older clients wanting to look and feel better as they grow older. What is the best way to use Social Media for an online business?

NASM is being for $900 right now. Have anybody paid less than that? Should I consider a bundle with nutrition coaching? Thanks!

You said not much over 500, NASM quoted me 824 and ACE is at 694 with the test right now. Is that considered close to 500? has the price gone up since this video?

Hi major thanks for the forms wtc. Big help as im so slow with Excel 😁 starting up as a trainer and getting prepared. This has helped so much.

Hello , what is your opinion on the use of an online platform for a virtual personal trainer, should I just stick to zoom?

Thanks Coach Jeff and hoping you would update this kind of videos as most likely in 2MONTHS time, I will be a certified personal trainer...your channel really helped me a lot!

Huge thank you to Sorta Heathly Trainer, this has really helped me passed my NASM exam in first attempt. Couldn't have done it without your 2-part videos!

Hey can u tell me which would be the best course to do if i want to get a job in usa from india?

Awesome and simple!! Never give up on your client.. especially if they’re paying you and still showing up.

Nice website but I don't see the consultation forms

Also 100k a year is plenty for me especially doing what I love everyday being in a gym and teaching folks that exercise is optimal for health

Honestly I'm not sure how folks decide to switch career paths randomly and try out personal trainer. For me I shifted my entire lifestyle and lost 100 pounds in about 1 years and gained a decent amount of muscle. About my 4-5 month in the gym, I decided that I wanted to become a certified personal trainer. I wanted to let folks know who were like me the majority of their life (as a 10 year old elementary student I weighed 300 pounds) that you can lose the weight.

I spend the $ and use it for my in person clients as well. It helps reduce anxiety when they can preview what exercises they will be doing that day AND if for some reason they can’t make their session they can still get their workout done since they have access to app. I do agree that checks in would be better if the client could fill out a form through Trainerize app.

Thank you so much!

Good video. I’m in my first year of training professionally and I’m averaging about 2k a month across 3 clients doing 2 45 minute sessions a week. Definitely a slow build up but it’s definitely getting easier over time.

why do they call it warm-up? Does it really warm up the muscles?? How do our bodies understand the difference between warm-ups and main workouts when these movements are almost the same?

I’ve been a trainer for over a span of 15 almost 16 years. I feel sub-human at this point. I’ve taken 1 vacation since 2016. It is now 2024. Being a trainer is by far one of the worst careers someone can have. It’s trading time for money, and you have to work harder, not smarter. You work off commission, so when you don’t work, you don’t get paid. Most live paycheck to paycheck because the pay is so inconsistent. In a matter of a week, you can have 1 client cancel, 2 clients go on vacation, and 1 client quit training. Then boom, you’re out hundreds of dollars and you cannot pay rent. I am trapped into this career field and I’ve written over 10,000 workouts for people. If I have to write another workout my eyes are going to bleed. Please help me get out of this groundhog’s day daily burnout hell.

this video really help me to get started

Jeff is the man. He helped me pass my test on a second try and is helping me get my career started. God bless!

Thank you SOOO much for these videos!!! I passed my proctored exam yesterday 🙌 and these videos were a huge help in understanding and visualizing certain concepts! I studied for about a week and had to care for a very sick toddler during that time so being able to listen to these multiple times was a godsend!!

Can you do a video on Bridgeathletic? I'm interested to hear what you think

How much money do they make sir

All the fitness in the company we know, the spa only wants we sale crap products with overprice, and if we have to lie to the guests in order to make it buy the company celebrate that... cero ethics or values in that company

Is there a specific App or Website that gives you the Par-Q or HHQ with ability to have client fill out online..? Thanks.!

Do a review on IIN please.... Love your videos
