Nevada is known to be the main US hub for personal training. It is in Nevada that the movement really began, and Nevada continues to host seminars, conferences, and work shops for this fantastically exciting profession.
In Nevada, personal training courses teach students how to help provide services to individuals to help them reach and maintain a desired level of fitness. These services encompass an exercise program, and nutrition that is customized for the individual client.
Successful Personal Trainers enjoy helping others to improve their physical condition. They have a passion for physical fitness, exercise, and health. They also possess enthusiasm and patience as they help the client to progress toward their physical fitness goals.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), by the year 2016, the demand for personal trainers will increase by 27%. This demand is fueled in part by aging baby boomers who want to maintain their fitness. The two types of certification are: Certified Personal Trainers (CPTs) or Personal Fitness Trainers (PFTs). The minimum requirements for certification are a high school diploma, completion of a CPR course, and a Personal Trainer certificate from an approved training course. Some higher level certifications are now requiring a related associate’s degree or a bachelor’s degree.
