Online personal training courses are they any good?

I am not a big fan of online personal training courses.  I think to really learn about personal training it needs to be demonstrated in front of you.  By all means don’t neglect using the Internet to boost your knowledge of personal training but online courses I don’t really recommend.  On TV you often see courses that can be done from home at low cost and online, these are cheap courses that employers don’t think think very highly of.  These kinds of course are good if you want to become a gym instructor but for personal trainers I don’t advise it.  Thousands of people love the idea of being a personal trainer and do these courses every year how many actually succeed as a personal trainer and have job satisfaction very little.  Even on courses like the YMCA there is a very low proportion of the overall people who attending the course who actually go on to become personal trainers, I would say it is around 20% but I am not certain.  If you want to do well as a personal trainer do a YMCA personal trainer course but that is only the beginning, you need to do lots of Internet research into marketing yourself and how you can differentiate yourself from other personal trainers.  Keep away from online courses unless like I said you want to just be a gym instructor.
