Training Trainers

I'm excited to announce that I'll be teaching other people how to be trainers. Daymar College has hired me to teach a 9-month personal trainer certification course that culminates with the students taking the exam to become an NSCA-CPT, which I consider the most prestigious personal trainer certification.

The classes are held at night, allowing me to continue to train clients one-on-one in the morning and afternoon.

The intensive program, beginning July 6, covers anatomy and physiology, kinesiology, exercise psychology and the business of personal training. Students will spend a substantial amount of time with me in the gym learning how to properly use exercise equipment.

There is nothing else like this available in the area.

I'm thrilled to have this opportunity to help properly educate the next generation of personal trainers.
