Personal Training Degrees: The Next Step in the Fitness Industry’s Evolution

I just learned that 2 of my bestloved certifications now count as credits to earning a degree at a major university! How cool is that?

If you read Part. 1 of this series, you know that there are some good certifications out there, and there is no one best certification for everyone.

You have to take a look at your goals, who your target market is, what you need to learn to best serve them, and where you are in your career path before figuring out what the best corroboration is for you. However, there are a few things you ought to consider, exceptionally if you plan on making a career in the fitness industry;

* Education is a neverending process. (but you knew that already!)

* The more perspectives you may implement to create real world solutions for your clients, the better.

* Stick to learning things you are enthusiasti about. If you are not ardent with regards to nutrition, just find a good nutritionist to refer to, etc.

* General corroborations are OK to begin with, but you will get more value from special line of work certifications as you get more educated.

Evolution

It’s beauteous cool that galore of your corroborations may count towards a degree. Don’t get me wrong, having a degree in a specific field is NOT AS IMPORTANT as in truth having practical noesis that you may employ to your fitness business. I have met trainers with Exercise Physiology degrees that are straight up lacking in knowledge when it comes to basic biomechanics. Degrees aren’t everything; I just think it’s cool that a good deal of of my hard earned cash that I invested in personal training education is now recognized by a university.

Globe University has both a Bachelor’s Degree (4 year) and Associate Degree (2 year) in Health and Fitness. If you have taken the RTS corroboration or MAT certification, you already have earned credits towards your degree!

Globe University Health & Fitness Bachelor’s Degree

RTS and MAT are 2 of my bestloved corroborations because they provide you with real working psychological result of perception learning and reasoning that you may use, and provide 2 dissimilar valuable perspectives for assessing the body. They genuinely pick one topic that is critical to being a personal trainer, and then they take it isolated and instruct it better than anybody else.

For RTS, they dig deep into biomechanics/exercise mechanics; no program design, no nutrition, no physiology, just biomechanics, and they instruct it way better than any person else. Tom Purvis teaches the fundamental principle of biomechanics better than anybody on the planet, hands down. And with those basics, he may (and does) in a literal sense takes apart other books on biomechanics (including text taught by other certifications and textbooks from major universities). His data is veritably eye opening; no wonder he is being accepted at the university level.

With MAT (created by Greg Roskopf), the perspective is physiological and they provide a distinguishable method for testing muscle imbalances in the body, and a modality for addressing those imbalances. Forget with regards to stretching for increasing RANGE OF MOTION (which a lot of outdated corroborations still teach), lack of range is caused by muscle weakness; MAT provides a tool for finding those weaknesses and strengthening them precisely.

While sure distinct features of Globe University’s degree surely may not be idealisti (you may earn your degree online!), it is great to watch our industry evolve, being pushed forward by our leaders.

What is your bestloved certification? Why? What info helped you pick a certification? Is there any topic you want to learn regarding in particular? Would you want to get a Fitness Degree?

Leave me numerous questions in the remarks and I will get right back to you.

SHOW ME YOU ARE ALIVE!

Until next time, keep your business fit.
