Georgia Personal Trainer Certification
 If you live anywhere near Atlanta, you have several good personal training certification programs in the Atlanta suburbs.
And even if you are not in the Atlanta metro area, the online programs and weekend workshop options may work for you. This page will give you all of your options.
Choosing a personal trainer certification program is the first major decision you have to make in your new career. If you take short cuts on your education, you won't be an effective trainer. Do you want a doctor with 8 years of medical training or one with a 20 hour correspondence course? You would be able to tell the difference, and so will your clients.
Make sure you shop around and compare programs. It is a buyer's market with lots of choice. You can go with a national player like NPTI which puts a strong emphasis on hands-on training. Or you can go with one of the online programs which have a strong curriculum but with less emphasis on the practical application. Either way you will become a certified personal trainer and with NPTI you also earn a diploma that is accredited by the State of Georgia.
My top pick of the Georgia personal trainer certification programs would be NPTI. The six month program will really prepare you for a long term career. If you can't commit to the part-time hours of a face to face instruction program, or if you are not near one of their locations, go with one of the online providers. Pinnacle has a respectable program.
