Minnesota Personal Trainer Certification
 You wouldn't normally think of Minnesota as a hotbed of personal training activity, but if you live in Minnesota you have the choice of four major certification programs plus the usual online options.
The boom in the personal training industry is fueling record demand for personal trainers. And the Minnesota personal trainer certification schools have really stepped up to meet that demand. We are very fortunate that we have a choice of several quality programs where in the past you were forced to attend an out of state certification program.
If you live near the Minneapolis St. Paul area, NPTI is a natural choice. Their six month hands on diploma program will give you the technical skills and the business skills required for a great personal training career. And now their diploma is accredited by the State of Minnesota.
If you are near Duluth, you can check out DBU's Associate degree program in Exercise Science. While the program will take longer that six months, the degree will give you the flexibility to do a lot of different jobs in the fitness industry.
The Minnesota Business School offers programs at 8 different campuses making it a convenient choice for many.
But if you can't find a location near you, or require the flexibility to study at your own pace, several reputable online programs are available in Minnesota.
