Personal Training FAQ
I have had a lot of questions lately about personal training and certifications. Since certification has always been comparing apples to oranges, IRSHA, the main trade organization for the fitness industry came up with some guidelines. You can read all about it on the special page I created for it. See why the NASM certifications that I hold are the elite and check your trainers credentials against what IRSHA set as the standard.

While I am going over personal training certifications and FAQs, let me add another. Personal training is ABOUT YOU!!! YOU!! AND ONLY YOU!! Just like the song! But seriously, you are unique. And have unique needs and goals. For example, a 40 year old with diabetes who is concerned about osteoporosis should not be doing the same workout as someone is 100 pounds overweight who should not be doing the same workout as an athlete who should not be doing the same workout as a child etc. You get the idea.
So personal training should not just be a personal trainer walking along with you cheerleading and counting. While motivating a personal training client is cool, it should be in addition to a scientifically proven personal training routine that is customized for each individual.
If you have any questions about personal training or certifications, you can always contact me.
