Well I did a big move today!

[Xpliot]

So Ive taken a big step and still feel like a noob after a little over a year of lifting. Lol but there’s only one way to learn and that’s through trying. So I officially signed up to get my personal trainer certificate. As my gym offered me a job if I complete it. Even if I don’t do it as a career I’ve always wanted to have the knowledge!

 

[Bigmurph6]

That’s great that’s a cool job you train all day you will get huge

 

[Kad1]

Good for you. Who is the certifying agency?

 

[Xpliot]

Nasm

 

[Xpliot]

Yeah I’m excited man. I’m nervous cause I’m still new but figured it’s knowledge and I like learning so hopefully I can get the guidance I need to go to the next level even if I don’t do it as a career ya know

 

[Kad1]

Ok good

 

[Xpliot]

Yeah I’m nervous but they said some places might let me shadow but either way I want to keep learning. I’ve I’m only a year into lifting but this is the first thing I’ve ever really felt passionate and disciplined with

 

[Bigmurph6]

Yeah knowledge is power brother the more you know about everything the further that you can go

I wish you the best plus you can become a coach here once you’ve certified

 

[Kad1]

Find the best trainer their to shadow. I’m happy to help you along the way

 

[Xpliot]

That would be awesome!

 

[Xpliot]

Thank you! I’m sure I’ll have plenty of questions! Haha

 

[John]

Nice!

 

[Symarip85]

Good luck bro. That’s a good career. I’ve known a couple of guys who were personal trainers, all made great money. Definitely work you way into one on ones with middle aged women from the upper-middle clad side of town. I’ve heard that’s were the best money is.

 

[Symarip85]

Do they also certify you as a dietician within the training program?

 

[Xpliot]

No I’m gonna wait to do the nutrition part as it was more expensive to add on

 

[Symarip85]

Gotcha.

Hell yeah, congratulations man! I studied exercise physiology in college, had plans of getting a masters, and wanted to be a strength coach, but having kids as a teenager shot those dreams down the dumpster. not saying my daughters ruined those dreams, it was more my inability to master the art of pulling out that killed them, haha. Best of luck in your pursuit!

 

[Xpliot]

Thanks man! And kids are a blessing man! Hopefully one day for me I’ll be there haha
