ABOUT PERSONAL TRAINING:
Personal Training is just that--the art and skill of matching training with your bodymind needs.Personal Trainers provide one on one training in fitness related activities which may include weight training, aerobic training, and flexibility training (stretching), sports, etc. A Personal Trainer can help you with motivation, accountability, and with goalsetting.
On the physical side, qualified personal trainers can take bodyfat and bodypart measurements, and make assesments and lifestyle recomendations. They may also make suggestions/recomendations on certain aspects of a clients diet, but it is beyond the scope of their practice to prescribe diets unless they are a certifed nutritionist or registered dietician.
No professional licensing laws regulate the Personal Training. But there are a few organizations which regulated Personal Training from within the field. Being nationally certified by a national orginization such as ACE, AFAA, NASM, ACSM, ISSA, etc essentially says that a personal trainer has achieved a certain degree of knowledge, understanding, and compentency in the field. Education, experience, certification, and personality are thus the main criteria when looking for a personal trainer.
Please come back to this area frequently, as we intend to add useful info on a regular basis. And, who knows, perhaps you will tell us about a Personal Trainer we should be aware of--are you, perhaps, the one? To help us maintain the quality of the Directory--for you and for others--we invite your personal experience by E-Mail.
