There is more to become a personal trainer than attending personal training courses such as the YMCA personal trainer, yes this will qualify you as a personal trainer but there is alot more to it than this. Anyone can call themselves a personal trainer, guys who have trained for the last two years in gyms call themselves a personal trainer and train people in their local gym without telling the gym and taking cash payments.  These guys are probably the worst personal trainers you could ever use as they think they know it all but actually don’t.  To become a personal trainer, a good one you want to follow the following steps
