What Can I Do With a Personal Training Certification?

Becoming a certified personal trainer gives you the power to take control of your life and your schedule. Personal trainers can work in a variety of different settings depending on what feels right for you. For example, you can choose to work from your home, your client's homes, a gym, or even outside.

ISSA also offers several specializations that you can add to your training certificate and an associate's degree to help you reach your goals. You might choose to specialize in a certain training type, training philosophy, performance type, exercise modality, or client population. ISSA personal trainers design programs that utilize strength training, cardio, flexibility, and nutrition strategies to optimize results.

What Does a Personal Trainer Actually Do?

As a personal trainer, you'll work with clients to assess their strengths and weaknesses and then design an exercise program to improve their physical fitness. You'll motivate clients by setting goals and providing feedback and accountability. You'll instruct them in the proper technique for exercises, and educate clients in other aspects of wellness besides exercise, including general health and nutrition.

    Jamil Karimov - ISSA Certified Trainer

    I thought how to choose a personal training certification because there are many different programs, my friend got a certification from ISSA and he recommended ISSA so I checked it out. The website had a lot of details and I decided to take this program. Once I enrolled, I was so excited to start but had a huge workload ahead of me. The course was beyond challenging and taught me so much valuable information not only about the physical aspect of training but also about how to really work with clients. The ISSA has changed my outlook on training clients.

    With the knowledge, I've gained from the program. I feel confident to go into the work as a personal trainer now, and to start this phase in my life. I chose to get my certification through ISSA, and highly recommend it to anyone looking into getting a certification.
