"Hello, my name is Carlos Davila. I'm a personal trainer in New York City. We're going to talk now about becoming a personal trainer. One of the biggest things with becoming a personal trainer is having a passion for training. Me myself, I use to be a gym rat, in the gym all the time, used to see the trainers training people all the time and figured why not take this passion that I have and make it my profession. Personal training takes energy, motivation and creativity. You want to be able to take your clients past whatever their limits are and assure that they achieve their goals. Anyone with a passion for training, anyone with a commitment to helping someone achieve their goals can become a great personal trainer. Education is important. Most gyms when you become a personal trainer for their club or have an in house trainer for you, and then it's up to you to increase your level of education or to progress as a personal trainer. So, getting your foot in the door is relatively easy, but becoming a great personal trainer is going to take effort and motivation. Once again, this is Carlos Davila, personal trainer, New York City."
