FAQs
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Yes, beyond the need for continuing education to keep personal training certifications current, the field of exercise science is evolving so quickly that keeping up on the latest research is a necessity. I generally attend at least one fitness conference per year, am a member of the IDEA Health & Fitness Association and the Australian Fitness Network, and receive monthly magazines/periodicals that cover the latest research studies relevant to exercise and nutrition.
- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Please, please, please look at the prospective trainer's certification(s)! Ideally, your trainer should be certified through one of what we call "the big 4". These organizations are: ACE, NASM, ACSM, and NSCA.
