The Importance of Being Certified: <p>As an independent gym owner, I get monthly inquiries from uncertified personal trainers that have been training for many … many… years that have decided not to renew their certification. Yet they still wish to train out of my facility. Below is a small list of responses I have gotten throughout the years when I ask why they are not certified:</p><p>“I could teach these courses.”</p><p>“I know more than most trainers anyway because I’ve been doing this for a long time.”</p><p>“It’s all a racket” … (to make you smarter… oh no!)</p><p>I, being relatively educated in the space of exercise and health science, still maintain multiple certifications.
