If one of the above two statements describes you to a T and you\u2019re passionate about keeping fit and healthy \u2013 so much so that your friends and family come to you and ask for advice about how they can do the same for themselves \u2013 then you should really consider becoming a personal trainer.<\/p>\n
Now, there are tonnes of personal training certifications out there. So, how do you choose which one to go for?<\/p>\n
Overpromising and underdelivering\u00a0 <\/strong><\/h2>\nSome of the fitness colleges that offer these certifications will promise you the moon and the stars \u2013 for a fraction of the price \u2013 however, when you get down to your studies, the material that is offered doesn\u2019t really say much. In actual fact, you\u2019ll find that what you\u2019re taught you can easily find on the Internet with some basic searches on Google.<\/p>\n
A proper personal training certification will cover everything that you need to know about being a personal trainer. It will teach you about anatomy, physiology, exercise programme design right down to how to market yourself as a personal trainer using digital mediums such as social media<\/a>. Because being a personal trainer is not just about teaching someone how to exercise properly \u2013 it\u2019s also about knowing how to run a successful business.<\/p>\n![\"Trifocus](\"https:\/\/trifocusfitnessacademy.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/SLP_6069-600x400.jpg\")

Not worth the paper that it\u2019s printed on<\/strong><\/h2>\nAnother big problem with many personal training certifications is that they are not endorsed by any well-recognised fitness<\/a> institutions. This means that when you go to a potential employer or a prospective client, looking for work, they\u2019ll have a look at your qualification and will ask: \u201cSo, why does this certification qualify you to be a trainer?\u201d In fact, they probably won\u2019t give you a second thought.<\/p>\nSo, if you\u2019re serious about becoming a personal trainer that everyone wants to go to, you need to get a certification that is backed by a body such as CATHSSETA. This shows people that you know what you\u2019re talking about and that they can trust the instruction that you give them.<\/p>\n
No international ties<\/strong><\/h2>\nThe beauty about being a personal trainer is that it\u2019s a very portable qualification. This means that if it\u2019s your heart\u2019s desire to travel the world, you can find jobs as a personal trainer while you see these amazing foreign cities.<\/p>\n
A lot of personal training certifications out there aren\u2019t internationally recognised which means that you will probably be able to only work in South Africa. This means that when you choose your course you need to find one that people from around the world know about and trust so that you\u2019ll land that job which you\u2019re destined to have.<\/p>\n
