Everything about Personal Trainer totally explained

A personal trainer is a professional who educates people about physical fitness.
   

Fees in the United States

The average hourly rate for a trainer is $60-100/hour, with the lowest rates around $25/hour. The health mindset and average income of the demographic effects the areas rates. Some celebrity personal trainers may charge $250-$800 per session depending on geographical location and their experience..
   Certification review is key with pricing. For high end trainers the certifications should be accompanied by an education in a related field or a vast amount of experience. There are many "weekend" certifications on the internet and out on the market that can be completed in hours time and at minimal cost, so a review of qualifications is essential.
   In its March, 2007 article about this topic, IHRSA announced that it'll recognize accreditation agencies that are recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) and/or the U.S. Department of Education (USDE) and/or the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA). The NCCA recognizes educational standards by awarding an accreditation.
   The ACSM (American College of Sports Medicine) recently released a study showing that personal training at the client's home is as effective as personal training at a commercial health club. This was the first time that a random double blind trial provided strong data supporting this idea.
   In addition to personal training for humans, some companies in California have begun personal training services for people's pets. Over 60% of pets in America are obese, and this sets them up for the same kinds of diseases that humans suffer from - diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol, joint problems, etc. Although this is likely to catch on in more affluent areas, it's doubtful that pet owners in poverty-stricken regions will pay for a personal trainer to exercise their pets.
   Nationally Accredited Certifications (by NOCA) are available through:
  • N.S.C.A. National Strength and Conditioning Association
  • A.C.S.M. American College of Sports Medicine
  • I.F.P.A The International Fitness Professional Association
  • C.I. The Cooper Institute
  • A.C.E. The American Council on Exercise
  • N.A.S.M The National Academy of Sports Medicine
