Hi! I would love to become a personal trainer, but there are so many options out there I don't know where to start or how to do it the best way. I live in a very small town, so there are no personal trainers to go talk to about this. It also makes it hard to go to a college, especially since I'm a stay at home mom with 3 little boys, and the college's that have these courses are 2 hours away. There are ways to do at home training, but I don't know what ones are legit and what ones aren't. Please let me know if anyone has any ideas or if they have ever looked into this before....

Thanks

I got me cert thru NETA first and now and studying juvenile nutrition and exercise thru NASM. Just make sure whoever you use is accredited. There are alot of great online training programs.

the best companies to go through are ACE, ACSM, and there are a few other good ones also. I recommend ACE, i think they are the cheapest and offer study materials.
