Hey Jeff, love your videos! sent you an email you might find useful, best of luck man

What if I have a bachelors in health science of Athletic training and Rehab science, do you think insurance companies would still require me to have the ncca certification or can I go with the open book option.

I'm just hoping all of my clients are Game of Thrones fans

I took my exam a few days ago, and I passed! I found these videos extremely informative and helpful, and after reading some comments, I had a good idea of what material would heavily be on the exam…. However, unfortunately, mine was not really on anything these videos highlight. Obviously I had a few questions related to this content, but my questions were all over the place- I didn’t have a single question on the OPT model. Nonetheless, i would recommend watching these videos- they’re great!

I passed the CPR course/test and the non proctored exam. Do I need an in person CPR certification class before taking the proctored exam?

Stay away from issa they are scammers when you want to cancel the course they don't want you to they will not allow you to

Biggest issue o have with their library is how the fuck do you Not have boxing?

When you say, "...is it though?" That's how my 🧠 actually reads questions! 🤔

This is SO helpful as I'm setting up my personal training / health coaching business. Love all your videos!!

Thank you so much for what you do for us!

Thank you , thank you ,thank you so MUCH Coach ,i have learned alot from this very important video and actually shared it with another friend of mine who is also taking the course . be blessed brother and post more and more .

I already passed but I will definitely use this as a review and I can’t tell you how much I appreciate you going over the anatomy- I have terrible long term retention of things I learn and have been wanting a refresh! Please keep doing what you’re doing and know you’re helping so many people!

I’m taking my test in a few weeks, any suggestions for practice tests or anything else to help me pass

"bodybuilders and athletes generally don't have that much money" 😢

Thank you for all the content ❤ I have one question: Is it necessary to study exercise science to become a personal trainer (sorry for my english)

If your business is an LLC, wouldn’t you be protected under that if there was any injury on your property?

Love your videos! I've been a personal trainer for 16 years and I think your first point and last point are the ones I would say I wish I knew the most. My clients do NOT want complicated programs with complex exercises. This will only not only make them feel inadequate, it's just not necessary for the majority of clients who simply want to lose weight and get stronger. And to the last point, most of my clients have told me they pretty much pay me to hold them accountable first and foremost. All of these are excellent points though and I really resonated with every one. Also, love your anatomy videos. Thanks!

before when i was training my friend (for free) I made her do 3 minutes on the treadmill and let her do battle ropes on 3 sets of 1 minutes as warm ups..did i do too much? she seem to be okay with it

I found a personal trainer I'd like to train with. Great credentials. Very expensive. Filled out her questionnaire. Answered her questions. Now I'm being ignored. She sees me, but doesn't acknowledge me. I gave up on her. I'll continue on my own. It does bother me the lack of respect.

Hey, thanks man it is a big help that i get through your forms.Appreciate it

Another huge mistake is going into PT for the wrong reasons : to pick up women/men. Professional boundaries should be maintained to be an effective and successful trainer.

You are an absolute blessing brother. This is an absolutely phenomenal video with so much insight and value. Im so grateful to have found you. I pray that God blesses you in utmost abundance as he is most certainly using you as a blessing to us. Thank you a million times over!

How will AI change personal training?

Is the test multiple choice?

Love breakfast, lunch, dinner for the spine! 👏🏾 immediately I thought S - Sweets for Dessert could be the Sacrum 5 😂 either way love this entire video and Part I. Thank you for making these 😊

I got lucky and got a job at a small gym in a wealthy neighbourhood. It was my first formal training job and they gave me a great deal where they simply take $15 per session for 1 person and $20 when I’m training 2 people at a time. The gym is also a bit expensive ($70/month) so it weeds out people who aren’t willing/unable to invest in their fitness. As a result I get client that are typically highly motivated and able to charge a good rate of 90 to 130 an hour. I run my business with google calendar, iMessage/Gmail, and Square. You’re also definitely right about not knowing what you’re doing from a certification alone. I was already pretty good from coaching people for free for years but when I went legit I was introduced to older people that I usually wouldn’t interact with and other unique situations like training people with ASD. You need to be willing to learn and care about others. Drop your dogma and try to inspire a life of fitness for them.

Glad I’m already doing most of these. To me I believe if you truly care about the client you’ll do this stuff automatically. I have the warm up built into the training and that varies from day to day depending on the client’s readiness. But we don’t have any cooldowns unless you count the 10 minutes of talking and going over what they liked/hated about the session as a cooldown.

Did you see ACE offers open book exams now? Is there a major difference in obtaining the Cert the proctored route vs. open book? (besides self-reward) Thanks for all your videos! Always helpful

Thanks. Any insight on where to get the best "Tranformational Certification" that helps us get transformational results for clients? I'm currently with NASM but wonder if I take a transformational cert with ISSA will I get credit with NASM?

just passed the ACE exam thanks for everything brother

❤ thank you so much I will keep you posted on my success you are a true contributor to the way to set up a business successfully step by step I appreciate you and I will my respect and admiration will be shared for your ability to encourage an educate thank you so much

Hello, I a accidentally came across your how to start a personal training business video and when I realized you were from CT, I subscribed and liked to support your business. I live in New Haven, CT and am beginning my business as well. I started establishing web pages , a podcast, business pages, and everything else to begin my journey in the past week. I respect the hustle and grind aspect of the business and understand it is not an overnight goal, but that's what I love about it, the grind. Just want to drop some love and let you know I am following you for a lot of advice in my journey and supporting my fellow statesman. Hope you and your wife are doing well and have a great day/week/year man! 😀

I am glad to see you train people in a very similar way as I do. It's always tough to pick exercises for clients because what's hard for them night be easy and boring for me... I don't want them bored so I then try to mix up the work out and then it just gets complicated. I'm constantly reminded (with my first 5 or so clients) that what's challenging for me is nearly impossible for them 😅. So i learned to keep my workouts nice and easy, some stretches, warm up and lifts, then focus on their problem areas and then cool down. Nice and easy NASM OPT style

JUST PASSED MY EXAM!!!! I am beyond happy and thankful SortaHealthy is the reason i passed and i cant be more happier!!!!

❤ thank you so much you're so educated and so informative I appreciate you on so many levels I'm going to like sharing subscribe and go off of your format thank you

Excellent content, thank you!

❤thank you its big help ❤

Hey, just watched two videos of yours, firstly I find your style good and informations accurate from my point of view, nice to watch ! I've got a question for you, A little context first : I'm not a personal trainer neither having any certificate or studies in any fitness related fields, but I'm practicing and learning quite deeply the topics for about 15 years, been advising/teaching a real lot of people on the road. I'm planning to become an online and/or in real life fitness coach, oriented on what I know the most from my experience. I'm actually learning a lot lately about more specifics informations that I myself don't truly need, such as handling people's health issues and anatomic conflicts for example. Here is the question : Do you believe a profile like myself could become a personal trainer on internet or in real life, without any certification ? Thanks to anyone that took time to read !

Let me pass through for a sec 1. Phasing as personal trainers 2. Foundational movements 3. Workout chart 4. Engaging core

Great info and video, thanks!

I plan on being a personal trainer in the next couple of months, I just want to ask that a session here in the PHILIPPINES only last about 1 hour maximum, should i follow that or is it better to make the session a bit longer by say, 15 minutes? i don't want to shortchange my clients, not unless they are in a time restriction. what do u think about this JEFF?

Training in a mask? Not a damn chance!

Thankyou for your information. Glad I watched this before I enrol into ant programs. From your opinion which is the best in Asia. I live in Singapore, so NCSF is popular. But there's also AFA, Australian Fitness Association.

What do you think about just using google sheets and the built in messaging app on your phone? I’ve always just made my own sheets. Templates for a few different workout plans, templates for a few meal plans, and adjust as needed. I just use text to communicate as this is what feels most comfortable with most clients. Some of my clients have me pinned at the top of their messaging app next to their close friends and family. That feels way better to me than forcing clients to communicate with me through some app they don’t already use and may not even like or want. Yes it’s nice having many things in one place like trainerize offers, but all can essentially be done with little friction in your messaging app history if you are reasonably organized. Maybe I could give trainerize another try… I just really like the clean simplicity of sheets (made by me) and a messaging app. Someone please convince me otherwise if there is truly a better way to stay organized though, because I still feel like my system is far from perfect

Could you review PT Collective certifications? There is almost no info on these certifications on youtube but some of the trainers around my area says it's a really great course .

if i do the 1000 questions on pocket prep , watch both your videos will it be enough? i want to get it over with asap and don't want to sit through 800 pages

Plz upload an updated study guide for NASM🙏🏽

Thank you for the inside good job
