"How to become a personal trainer. What you want to keep in mind is, your optimal goal is to get your certification, again, getting one of the top ten rated certifications. How do we do that? We want to study, study, study. So you want to find avenues where you can pursue education. So even if that means doing internships and with a physical therapist just to get yourself around the type of action, the type of work you'll be getting yourself into, and then you want to do a lot of book work, a lot of research, enroll yourself into a class. And most certifications have weekend classes where you can go learn what it is you need to learn about in order to take the certification. So again, you want to make sure you're studying and you're making ample time to study, because it's not something that you cannot be committed to. You have to be committed for further success or furthering your education in the personal training field. So first study, find an internship to apply practical experience so you have an idea of what you're getting yourself into, and you can determine whether or not if this choice is the right one for you. Then once you're done studying sign up for your certification and then take the test, and of course pass it."
