These personal training programs provide an excellent opportunity to do what you love and make life a little better for your clients from a health and fitness perspective.
The most popular
personal training programs are bachelor’s degree programs in health science, which begin with the traditional college courses such as math, science and English before getting into the upper level health and fitness courses. If you want to get finished with school as quickly as possible, you may also choose a certification program that focuses solely on personal training with no general education. There are also online schools that allow you to study personal training while keeping your current full time job.
