Personal Training Degrees: The next step in the evolution of the fitness industry
I just learned that two of my favorite certifications now count as credits towards a degree at a major university! Is not it great?
If you play the game. 1 of this series, you know there are many good certifications out there, and there is no better certification for all.
You should take a look at your goals, your target market is, what they have to learn to serve better and where you are in your career before you understand what is the best certification is for you. However, there are some things that you should consider, especially if you are considering a career in the fitness industry;
* Education is a continuous process. (But you already knew that!)
* The more views you can use to create practical solutions to their best customers.
* Keep you learn things you love. If you're not passionate about nutrition, just find a good nutritionist to refer to, etc.
* General Certifications are good for starters, but you get more value from specialization certificates and more educated.
Evolution
It's great that some of their certifications can rely on to get a degree. Do not get me wrong, having a degree in a specific field is not as important as doing the practical knowledge that can be applied to your business fitness. I experienced trainers with degrees in Exercise Physiology in place clueless when it comes to basic biomechanics. Grades are not everything; I just think it's great that my hard earned money I invested in the education of personal training is now recognized by a university.
World university has both a BA (4 years) and Associate Degree (2 years) in health and fitness. If you take the certification or MAT RTS, which has already obtained credit towards your degree!
Globe University health and fitness degree Bachelor
RTS and MAT are 2 of my favorite certifications as they provide you with real working knowledge that you can use, and provide valuable two different perspectives to assess the body. They really are a topic that is fundamental to being a personal trainer, then take the side and taught him better than anyone.
For RTS, dig deep into the mechanisms of biomechanical / year; not program design, nutrition, physiology not only biomechanical, and better than anyone teach. Tom Purvis teaches the basics better than anyone on the biomechanics of the planet, hands down. And on this basis, it can (and will) be taken literally apart from other books on biomechanics (including dictated by other certifications and manuals text leading universities). Your information is really opened my eyes; no wonder it is accepted at the college level.
With MAT (created by Greg Roskopf) is seen physiologically and provide a unique method for testing muscle imbalances in the body, and a method to correct these imbalances. Forget stretching to increase range of motion (which has lots of obsolete certifications still teaches), the lack of variety is caused by muscle weakness; MAT offers a tool to find the weaknesses and strengthen accurately.
Although some aspects of a degree from the University of Globe certainly can not be perfect (you can earn your degree online!), Which is great to see our industry evolves, is pushed forward by our leaders.
What is your favorite certification? Why? What information helped you choose a certification? Is there a topic you want to learn more about in particular? Do you want to get a degree of fitness?
Leave me some questions in the comments and I'll get right back to you.

Until next time, you stay in shape now.
