Wow.This guy is so informative. Breaks it down in detail, but simple. Very excellent resource.

What is your experience with them so far? I just signed up today and nervous

[@deporlover]

Thank you man great information

[@kathryncederlind1681]

What do you know about the ISSA exercise science bachelors degree? There are many reviews of their certs but nothing about their degrees. My main concern is transferrability to other institutions.

[@AddyFatiMarwiAusi]

I got ISSA CPT but it's not recognized here in Australia, it's extremely hard to get a job in any gyms or health clubs! If you are living in Australia rethink 😉

[@travismartinez30]

The Aussie's are always different, btw if you see a kangaroo give em a dunkaroo

[@steve00alt70]

My fitness certifcate level 2 was still using textbooks and paper. Dont get me wrong its easy and useful to use but i was hoping to use ipads or handheld devices to record and write our excercise programs. On another note what if you had a Karen for a client? did you ever had such a difficult client?

[@AnitaPatel-mq2fp]

Thank you for informative information

[@mejhon6592]

You don't need a trainer certificate or a nutrition certificate, any state ask for a certificate, just the companies that you going to work ask for a certificate, but you can have your own busineess.

[@keurllenferreira3057]

What would you recommend for learning how to train if you are just starting out? Im assuming you know so sorry if not im just vested.

[@mejhon6592]

@@keurllenferreira3057 well try to hangout with trainers and observ how they train, and if you just starting try to charge less, because you just starting and people do not know you, maybe they will like the way you try maybe not. But I recommend you to hangout with different trainers. They will help you, ask them questions. Good luck

[@cmad2345]

Wrong. You need to be a CPT

[@deontaemitchell5840]

I’m signing up soon did I hear him say the exam is open book

[@bread8857]

yes you did. makes me feel a million times better

[@dianalevans9125]

Yes

[@SamanthaH]

Don’t know much about this certification- but ..... it might be the way to go if it’s open book- I was thinking of going NASM

[@PAPERCHASERCH47]

Yes I'm NASM group fitness certified and NASM tests are extremely hard and ridiculous

[@shredotour6305]

I googled all my answers, saved so much time

[@cmad2345]

It is now accredited by the NCCA for the record

Please review their new Ncca accredited strength and conditioning certification

[@Tidepodsforbreakfast]

Thank you so much 🙏

[@gabzsy4924]

Hey man, I'm living in Brazil and I already own a nutrition degree that I completed here. I'm interested in applying for a work at a ClubMed resort and then perhaps move back to Italy where I'm originally from. Would you recommend this course for me since I'm already graduated in Nutrition? Also, do you think the good folks at ClubMed will accept and aknowledge this certification for a job in a resort? Thank you so much.

[@icxcnika555]

In terms of material, what's difference between the regular PT certification and the fast track 4 week certification ? There is around a $300 difference 🤔

[@Ptpioneer]

The biggest difference is that they tried to take you through all the material in 4 weeks. It's definitely an intense program and I only recommended if you have all day to dedicate to studying for those four weeks. But it is a good way to get certified quickly if you do have the time.

[@chrisdavisjr29]

I have a issue I have my certification with then but some gyms don't take them at all

Just seeing this video 2 years later...can you change your specialization if you learn that your original specialization wasn't the right fit for you?

[@kaylenedawnbuteaufitnessbu2282]

As a seasoned fitness professional of 35 years, I've grown to despise all of the fitness certs. In 93, I got ACSM, because that was the gold standard, but over the years, the name of that cert has changed 6 times, and there is no clear reason why other than money. We pay for the CEU's to keep the certification current, and then we have to pay the cert agency each 2 to 4-year period on top of the classes for the CEU's. I just had Plus One tell me that I should get ACSM's personal training cert. WTF and on top of all that, I've got my MS from Springfield College. I appreciate your enthusiasm and knowledge, but this is all a racket. I would bet people at a bar bought drinks for the powers to be of companies and told them to require their cert, and of course, there is no clear proof of studies testing fitness professional's knowledge to guarantee that any specific cert has more knowledgable people. I also sometimes wonder whether companies are advertising jobs that do not exist but require certs, to promote that cert. I did use my health and fitness knowledge to stop my mother with mild dementia from forgetting me and I'm almost finished with my graphic memoir about it.

[@DebraPerkins-gs2ns]

How did you do that, stop your mother from mild dementia? I may need help with mine.thank you.

[@kaylenedawnbuteaufitnessbu2282]

@@DebraPerkins-gs2ns I've made some videos about it, and I put some info in my earliest videos about journaling.
