Question: How
much does personal training cost?
Answer: Personal
trainers may charge anywhere from $30 - $150 per session (usually
an hour). Rates are based on qualifications, experience, and
reputation of the trainer. Hiring a personal trainer on a regular
basis can be expensive --- but it doesn't have to be. Just
a few sessions to get you started on the right track can make
the difference between achieving your goals and not achieving
them. Training under the guidance of an experienced professional
personal trainer can set you on the right track and keep you
progressing toward your goals. Online Personal
Training may be less expensive and is a good alternative
to traditional personal training.

Question: How
can I become a personal trainer?
Answer: A
college degree in a health related field (exercise physiology,
exercise science, physical education, etc.) is a good start.
Because the industry is becoming more competitive, many personal
trainers now have graduate degrees. Nationally recognized certifications
are also important (National Strength & Conditioning Association,
American College of Sports Medicine, and American Council on
Exercise, etc.).
