    You can self study and take the state exam, or you can enroll at your local community college


  2. a fitness trainer certification course is essential apart from your being in the proper health and shape! an on line research would be helpful!

  3. Hi, I've been looking into that same thing, instructor that takes our fitness classes told me that she has an NVQ Level 2 in Exercise to music, Take a look at this site, it'll help you alot http://www.futurefit.co.uk/courses_exerc...

    Hope I've helped

  4. It would sure help to go to the local college and talk to a counselor about courses to take. I am sure there are some that will be required. Also remember to go the local red cross and take some first aide classes, you never know when that may come on handy and would sure look good on a resume. Maybe even some voluntary work at the local YMCA with a youth group or something similar. Good luck!

  5. look it up on the internet

  6. if you want some good experience try and train an athletic trainer. you get to work with athletes and help them maintain their fitness and health. take this job and you can go many places in the medical feild also.

  7. Well you have to be in great shape.

    Take some sports medicine classes.

    And you can look the rest up on the internet.

  8. go to your local collage and ask about it at the inquiries desk, or wait for the next open day and go along then for some information, you could also go down to your local gym and ask one of the instructors where he/she started out from?

  9. while you wait go to a gym a track just lift run


  10. You can call your local gym & ask if they train but just do that for info. then call your community colledge & ask them. You might have to go in & have an appointment with a career counselor.

  11. I looked up Fitness Trainer Certification online and found a bunch of information which you'd need to look at.  There are a number of programs for fitness trainer.  The one I have heard of is ACE.

  12. Most colleges and universities that i have been too offer diploma and certificate programs which last around 18 months for physical fitness instructors.

    Besides learning different exercise techniques they also teach you diet nutrition to go along with it, i have taken some of these courses and they were fairly easy to follow.

    Good Luck!!
