Personal Trainer Forum

Since first launching this site I have literally heard from thousands of you that you want a discussion forum to share ideas on matters that are important to your career. And in response to your requests, we are rolling out mini discussions across the site.

What is a Mini Discussion?

A mini discussion starts when one person submits a comment on one of our personal trainer web pages. Other people can read the comment, rate it and submit their own comments about what the first person said. It kind of snowballs from there.

Examples of Mini Discussions


The Best and Worst of Personal Training - What do you love and hate about being a personal trainer? Get an inside look at what it is really like to work as a personal trainer. Explore the Best and Worst of Parts of Becoming a Personal Trainer.

Salary Discussions - Nothing gets people talking more than money. This is where trainers talk about their personal trainer salary and income.


Certification Discussions - Choosing a certification is not easy. But finding out what a certification is like from the people who have actually been certified is a huge help. You can join in the lively discussions of...

NPTI, ACE, ACT, AFAA, ACSM, NSCA, NASM, NCSF, NFPT, Cooper, ISSA, IFPA,
Can-Fit-Pro and NESTA ...

...or tell us what you think is the best personal trainer certification.

Are you worried about getting ripped off by a lesser known certification? Check out the discussions and hard lessons from trainers that have been there and done that.


Exam Discussions - If you are preparing for an exam and need some advice, or if you have just taken a certification exam, tell us what it was like. Readers add their comments on exams from ACE, ACSM, NSCA, NASM, NCSF, NFPT, Cooper, ISSA, IFPA, Can-Fit-Pro and NESTA.
