This evening i just checked out a few websites and found an article at T-nation by Chris Shugart "So you want to be a Fitness Professional". I read it and thought it was a great interview with Alwyn Cosgrove that explains what it is to be a fitness professional. There are good amount of tips in the article and some trainers that are new like myself need to see these tip. Most of us have good mentors or co-workers that have been in the business for a while and know what they are doing and then there are some of us who see some trainers in the same facility that you don't want to be like. The article will help guide you and open up other doors for you to look into so that you can make it in this busniess.
