Personal trainers play an important role in the lives of many who are struggling and aspiring health and condition-conscious people. But how do you 'validate' your skills as a personal trainer? Personal training certifications are essential if you are a dedicated personal trainer (PT), interested in giving the best to your clients, and to get a good income of course.

Just perform a Google search on "Online Personal Training Certification", and you'll actually come across a whole long list of certifications - there was one which seemed like a joke as it costs only USD49.99! But the fact is .. that there are tonnes of personal training certifications out there - which one is the best and can offer you the experience, knowledge, training, satisfaction and a chance at a great personal trainer salary?

In my opinion, the personal training scene here in Malaysia is not as competitive and as lucrative as it is in most other countries. If you would read up the profile of the personal trainer at your gyms, you would notice that only a handful have taken the initiative to get certified by an independant and recognised certification body (ACE, FISAF, etc), while the rest of them (which is almost MOST of them actually) only possess an in house certification.

In my opinion, unless the PT has a real genuine passion for his job, he'd make a lousy trainer if his knowledge and expertise depended SOLELY on what he learns at the in house certification course. Most of the time, the in house courses are only recognised by that one fitness chain itself, and not the others. I've also had the opportunity to glance through some of their training materials, which interestingly, even addresses the area of convincing members at the gym to sign up for personal training packages. It even includes sample questions and answers, what you should say if given a particular excuse not to sign up, etc. Yes, thats sick! Now you know why some of the rotten ones can sometimes be so persistent and annoying.. its cos they studied how to!

To those of you who have not heard of the ISSA (International Sports Sciences Association) the ISSA is recognised worldwide and are very highly respected in this field. Anyway, personally, I've always been very keen on certifications from the ISSA myself, mainly because:

1. I know people who have sat for ISSA certifications - and they are top notch personal trainers.
2. I've seen some of their examination questions before, and they make the most sense when compared to a few others.
3. The convenience and the freedom/flexibility to study at your own pace, and sit for an online exam.

For me, being here in Malaysia, having to juggle a busy work schedule and my time at the gym doesn't leave me much time to enroll myself in a class to study for a certification. I wish I could just sit for the exam and skip the course materials! And the ISSA gives you just that - the freedom to study at a relaxed pace and to sit for the online exam when you're ready. That alone, is enough to swing my decision to them, but the fact that they actually are a credible voice in this industry.. is a very welcome bonus.

There are many who aren't all out for online certifications, and I don't blame them. For example, a complete newbie would need to familiarize himself with exercises, technique, and have a good understanding of our health and bodies. For someone like me, or anyone who's been around the scene for a good few years - an online certification could be just what they need to take their career to the next level since we already have the basics nailed down. Although there's nothing like having a real live person in front of you to interact with, I'm actually pretty comfortable with their in depth study materials and support offered.

The ISSA offers a completely online personal training course. You can sign up, read materials, take practice tests, and sit for the real certification exam all online. No need to talk to a real person. This does have its up and downs.. but I do believe that the quality of their syllabus, and if you really are a dedicated person and are passionate about it - getting certified will easily place you 10 notches above the average PT in your gym who only carries an in house certification.

The ISSA offers certifications in various categories, but I've personally had my eyes set on the Specialist in Performance Nutrition (SPN) certification for quite some time now. Its not really a course that gets you involved in training an individual, but pretty much a specialised course to understand the role nutrition plays in our bodies and how we can best maximise that for maximum performance by our bodies.

In Malaysia today, especially among the fitness chain giants, where a majority of PTs only possess an in-house certification program - having your own cert will differentiate you from the rest. If you're looking for the best 'study-as-you-go' certification that will be able to fit in your busy schedule, I'd say that an ISSA certification would be your best option. Hey.. it's what I myself would sign up for.

I write with great interest about the ISSA simply because in the right hands - it has the benefits of excellent in-depth materials coupled together with convenience. Now thats a perfect combination. I plan to get ISSA certified over the next few months if all goes well... so wish me luck!

Is Your New Year's Resolution to Lose Weight? Here's How to Do it Without Dieting - the Instinctive Weight Loss System

With the New Year coming on us, millions of people will be making the resolution to lose weight and get healthy for the next year. 

 In 1970 Americans spent $20 Billion Dollars each year on weight loss products. Today, Americans spend over $40 Billion Dollars each year. According to the CDC, obesity has more than doubled since that time. From 15% of adults to 33% of adults.

A government study confirmed that 95% of diets fail within 3 years.

So the questions are, “Why do diets and intense exercise fail for most?” And, “What is the solution?”

As a Sports Nutritionist and Personal Trainer, I can tell you why diets are physically damaging.

As a Clinical Hypnotherapist, I can tell you why diets are psychologically damaging. As a man with many years of experience working with people of all backgrounds and sizes, but all of whom share the same struggles; I can tell you what the solution is.

For most people who struggle with their weight, diets and exercise programs are like treating cancer with pain medications. They alleviate the symptoms, but do nothing to address the source.

The vast majority of people who struggle with their weight have been preprogrammed at a very early age to struggle with their weight.

 

They’ve been programmed by their parents, comments, traumatic experiences, advertisements, and one of the biggest is the notion of having to diet and exercise hard in order to lose weight.

 

 The solution is to change a person’s automatic actions. The actions they take on a daily basis that they don’t even think about.

 

 About 90% of what we do on a daily basis is done without conscious thought.

 

Our internal dialogue is what compels us to check the mail, to get up and go somewhere, tells us when we’re hungry, and tells us to or not to workout. Once our internal dialogue puts the thought in our mind, then we sometimes make the conscious choice to do so or not.

 

Did you know that we have over 60,000 thoughts each day, but only about 10% of them we actually take notice of? But the 90% of these 60,000 thoughts are responsible for the urges to eat when we’re not hungry, to sit instead of stand, and to not be physically active. This is our internal dialogue. And our internal dialogue is produced by our subconscious mind.

 

People who are naturally thin have automatic actions that support them being thin. The majority of their internal dialogue or thoughts are in alignment with being thin.

 

If the majority of one’s subconscious thoughts aren’t congruent with losing weight, they’ll continue to struggle with their weight. All the dieting and exercise in the world can’t counteract the fact that their subconscious mind has been programmed against it.

 

If they do lose weight by dieting and exercise, they’ll unconsciously sabotage their efforts, gain it back and never know why.

 

Many people say they have an angel and a devil sitting on their shoulders. One tells them to eat that unhealthy food, and one telling them not to. This isn’t a devil and an angel. It’s their conscious mind telling them to stay away from the food because they want to lose weight, but their subconscious mind is telling them not to because it’s been programmed that way.

 

 Willpower can’t override one’s subconscious mind. If people knew this, they’d finally understand why they can’t lose weight, or why they lose weight and always gain it back.

 

 By clearing the negative programming in one’s subconscious mind, and conditioning it to lose weight and be healthy, one will take the automatic actions necessary to lose the weight.

 

 When someone has a job that they thoroughly enjoy doing, they lose track of time. It’s effortless to do it. This is because there’s nothing holding them back. Both aspects of their mind are in harmony and it’s like they’re on autopilot when doing their work. This is how weight loss can be, if there’s no subconscious blocks preventing them from doing it. When both aspects of their mind are in harmony for losing weight, it’ll be effortless. And once something is effortless, it’s done in the easiest and most efficient long term fashion.

 

 They’ll automatically eat less, eat healthier, become more active, and they’ll do so without even thinking about it.

 

 This is the only way for long term weight loss.
