This series of FitBit CEU tests is designed to act as a refresher course for all those things you should be planning, doing and thinking about in order to be a safe and effective Personal Fitness Trainer.  Personal fitness training is not only a profession, it is a calling, a calling to help every man, woman and child within your sphere of influence to lead a healthier, fuller life.

This series, “How to Become a Personal Fitness Trainer” is a necessary reminder of the critically important knowledge, skills and abilities you must have to meet your clients’ needs.

You must understand your job as a personal fitness trainer and plan on becoming the best personal fitness trainer you can be.

Congratulations on your decision to enter the personal fitness training career field!  You are entering a career that can earn you tremendous rewards; not just financial, but emotional as well.  As is often documented, personal fitness trainers can earn tremendous incomes, all the while working in beautiful fitness settings in country clubs, spas and resorts, cruise ships and well decorated health clubs.  But what is not often documented is the high degree of job satisfaction personal fitness trainers can derive while helping their clients achieve healthier and happier lives.  While the material rewards often attract individuals to the personal fitness training career, many of the best personal fitness trainers remain in the industry not because of the GOLD, but because of the GOAL!  The best personal fitness trainers love the challenge and rewards of helping their clients achieve their fitness, health and nutrition goals.  The best personal fitness trainers love helping their clients live healthier, happier and more successful lives.  It is a by-product of the personal fitness trainer’s value to society that they make such highly lucrative incomes.
