How to find out if a trainer is legit.

If you’ve been scrolling through Instagram, YouTube, or Tik Tok, you’ve probably seen a lot of different fitness trainers and coaches, but how do you know if a trainer is legit?

Over the years I have watched hundreds of people start selling training and nutrition programs online with ZERO certifications, zero experience training real clients and no supervision.

It’s not just misleading, it’s dangerous.

Helping guide someone’s training and nutrition is a HUGE responsibility and I don’t take it lightly.

So whatever you practice with me MOVEMENT or choose another plan, here’s why you should make sure it’s with a certified personal trainer.

Why exercise with a certified personal trainer?

A trainer who has been certified through a nationally accredited program such as NASM must complete intensive courses and tests in order to be educated in:

• Basic science exercise
• The science of human movement
• Fitness assessment
• Optimal Performance Training (OPT) program design and model.
• Training for speed, agility and quickness
• Recommended practices in nutrition
• Client interaction and professional development

Like many other professions, we are also required to undertake a certain amount of continuing education to ensure that we stay on top of the latest techniques, research and training methods.

I have personally completed over 20 different training specialties including prenatal and postnatal training, agility, yoga and recently received my new certification as a Behavioral Change specialist from NASM.

NOT ALL certifications are created equal.

Whether you’re looking for a trainer or want to get certified yourself, make sure you find a program that’s nationally accredited.

This is really the only way to ensure that it is 100% legitimate and meets the highest training standards.

The National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) is one of the most respected and recognized companies and where I get my certifications.

If you want to expand your knowledge or even become a trainer yourself, definitely check them out.
