Making Money with your Physique? Personal Training and Fitness modeling??/

[kronk]

I would like to become a personal trainer, so anyone who is on or has experience in the area, your input would be greatly appreciated... recommendations as to what certification to earn, where to try to work, etc.... (I do want to get certified because I'm hoping I'll learn more about physiology and such because I wouldnt feel right being a PT without more knowledge in that area)


Also, I would like to do some fitness modeling...

I don't quite think I'm big enough to do fitness modeling yet, but around spring or summer I should be 225 - 230 very lean ...


I'm curious if anyone has done anything like this and what info they could give me ... I know I'll have to grow my hair out which is ok because my hair is quite thick though a bitch to deal with.

Anyway this sounds like a nice way to make some cash...anyone with experience in this area please post your thoughts.

Frack,

Kronkette and I are both getting certified right now. I may be able to help you a lot in this area. Also, Kronkette is working on the fitness modeling thing and got a lot of good leads at the Olympia. I am also working on that as well.

Shoot me a PM and I will chat with you. I have already done all the research so I can save you some work. Peace

Hey bro...

You should also look into NASM( National Academy of Sports Medicine). Good program. If you have a bachelors degree, they also offer a masters program as well. Good Luck,

Your proposed weight is most likely too high to do any significant fitness modeling. Strive for leanness, say, seven percent or better. At six feet, you should weigh around one ninety, if that helps give you an idea. I have done it, I am five eleven and I weigh around 177.
