College degrees are not necessary to become a personal trainer. Most trainers don't have them. If you are going to get a degree, get one in exercise science. If you bypass the degree, make sure you choose a reputable certification program and you really study your anatomy. <b>Your value as a personal trainer is what you know, so plan on spending a few years of self-study to make you an expert in your career field.</b> It is a lot of work, but it is so much nicer training clients based on knowledge rather than ignorance. You should also check out the many <a href="http://www.starting-a-personal-training-business.com/personal-trainer-school.html">personal training schools</a> that offer six month diploma programs. A weekend workshop is not enough education, a four year college degree is too much education, but a six month personal training diploma is just right.<br><br>- Katie

yes it is true. many gyms just need someone to step in and do the job. you can "shadow" someone at the gym while trying to obtain certification or even after obtaining it. Once you learn the ropes you'll be on your way, but, remember never stop learning
