Obviously, if you have found this site and are now reading this, you are already considering a career as a personal trainer. You might not be aware, but many consider personal training to be one of the fastest growing industries in the United States of America.

Why? Look at what is going on in our society! Exorbitant medical and healthcare costs, skyrocketing because people know nothing about exercise and less about nutrition. Simultaneously, the "baby boomers" are aging and they don't want to! They are looking for the fountain of youth and the best place to find it is in the gym under the supervision of a well-trained Personal Trainer.

You might be interested in helping people, you might be passionate about fitness, and you might want to have a dramatic impact on improving our society. But, if you're like most people that enter the fitness arena for the first time what you really want is to make a lot of money!

What's the bottom line? How much can I make? How much money is there in personal training? Here are the facts: Earnings potential for personal trainers vary greatly from $35.00 to well over $175.00 an hour.

Exceptional trainers can make over a thousand dollars an hour and for the select few: books, videos, speaking engagements and related businesses can mean much more. Yes, the personal training business has created many, many millionaires. And the best part of the personal training business is that those who have made millions, have created their wealth while working at something they passionately care about, love to do and all while being their own boss -- independent of anyone else.

What is the difference between being a $35.00 an hour trainer and a $1,000 an hour millionaire trainer? Hard work, dedication, willingness to learn, to improve, to strive for excellence every minute, of every hour of every day, day in and day out. Constantly, passionately, urgently striving to be the best! Constantly striving for excellence. Improving every aspect of your life mental, emotional, physical and spiritual.

If you are one of those trainers that think $35.00 an hour ($70-$75,000/yr) is a pretty good income, then that's fine. Then the IFPA Personal Trainer Certification course may be all you will need.

But it you want more, go to www.IFPA-FITNESS.com, here you will find a multitude of certification and continuing education courses, offered along with an extensive book -- store of the best texts the fitness industry has to offer on fitness, health and nutrition. Everything you see her is designed to help you on your journey to success, regardless of what level of success you aiming for.

Don't forget "Success is a journey -- not a destination!"

jbjb9402: You're right. He never answers the questions about time frame. He would make a great politician.

[jbjb9402]

This fucking windbag never did answer the question how long it takes! Nor did he answer how much you can make with their certification! Why isn't that people can't give you a straight answer to a simple fucking question anymore?!?! I'd like to hit this guy in the teeth with a crowbar!
