We’ve discussed this before, how the Personal Training field is completely unregulated. This clearly will attract EXTREMELY unqualified “trainers” to jump into the field and thus we have high level trainers and really REALLY low level personal trainers.

The personal trainer, strength and conditioning coach, sports performance coach, physical preparation coach or whatever tag line you want to put as your title, it’s still all about fitness. The problem with fitness is that it’s unregulated, there is no state licensure to show that you have a standardized foundation. While many personal trainers, especially in New York City, like to say that they are “certified”, what does this actually mean?
So we all know it’s the new year and everyone is into working out. This is great, I love training and I wish more people would appreciate it too. BUT [Read more…]
It’s that time of year again where EVERYONE is into fitness and creating long arduous goals that quite frankly will not be executed. It’s sad to say but let’s be honest here, did you complete 3/4 of your 2012 goal list? What about your 2011, 2010, 2009?….probably not.
