Personal Training from Home Gym

[gsxrK3]

I have been training for a few years and am always trying to learn new things. I have a home gym that is a pretty nice size with plenty of weights and space, and I'm thinking about doing personal training out of the house.

What would be required to start this kind of business?
What PT certification should I get?
Is a PT cert necessary when working from home? I do plan on getting certified in CPR, but other than that ...?
What about insurance?

Thanks

Insurance wise I'd make sure that your home insurance covers you for business use and you have full liability personal training insurance.
I'm guessing there may be some tax issues, bit different in the US but you can claim tax back for using your own home aswel as utility expenses like electricity, water etc.
First aid is normally a solid requirement for all personal trainers.

I'm a travelling personal trainer but really thinking about training people from my own home. (Saving on time, petrol etc)
