Why you no like foam rolling?
dont sweat it bro its a breeze!
I had originally looked into ace.
This I would most certainly go with one of these two over any others...
Good luck bro I'll be joining in the not to distant future!
Really? You CSCS Brah?!
you damn straight brah! ATC, PTA, CSCS and soon to be PhD!...OMG
Txs bro, I'm going to take 6 months and finally do it. I'll prolly be the worlds oldest new CSCS.
deezy dont flatter me! everybody here knows your the truth!
Dude, if you had asked me any time in the last three years, I would have said, "Yes, my ACSM stuff is out of my scope."
You mean you don't want my Flex magazine collection from high school, either? I heard those were basically the same thing. Damn, I really can't give them things away.I need the damn book that matches the course...

If I'll pass reading that old ass ****, send em my way...
Hahahahahaha! There's no way they could do anything but hinder your exam performance. And just how old do you think I am, huh? I'm 23, that ****'s cutting edge!
IIRC, you can take the exam without one, but I think you have to wait to actually receive the award until you earn your degree.
correct, you can take it as a senior but have to wait until graduation for the credential. the bachelors degree can be in anything, doesn't have to be ex phys, sci or kin...
Yeah mine are in health sciences and biology but a guy I work with has his and his ba iis in accounting
Not that the credential is worth a damn, though.
It's better than most IMO, I'm taking it basically for no other reason than knowledge. Not sure exactly what I'm going to do with it yet.
Is any credential worth a damn? CSCS, RD, MS. CCC LP, Is any education worth a damn? MD, DO, DPT,...M.Ed...?? I mean nobody knows anything about anything really??
this right here. ssuming you live in US, there isnt a gym in the nation that doesnt accept NASM certifications. when i finished my cert, i got 3 interviews in the first week at low wage designer gyms. one at a 24hour sport, one at 24hour supersport, and one at a california family fitness. if you want to actually get paid, find a better career. otherwise youre gonna have to get lots of specialty certs and work low income where the gym takes all your money for a few years as well as getting a bachelor in a related science in order to get a real pt job.or youll have to open your own studio/practice, which could be risky but also super ridiculously rewarding
How much were the 24s trying to start you off with?
In the S&C field, for whatever, the CSCS is held in very lofty esteem. However, when you look at the information and techniques taught, most of them are archaic and provides a very narrow perspective, especially their singular periodization model. The NSCA has chosen to ignore the myriad of periodization templates that exist for linear/Western periodization and it incorrectly leads to the presumption that it is the best model available.
x2..
idk if it varies from state to state or county to county or anything. but both of my interviews told me the same thing. they start off the first 5 weeks spoon feeding you clients at 8.50n hour. then its my responsiblity to flip them for more sessions and get more clients of my own. once the grace period ends, its 20%sales commission per session. sessions are $60 for an hour but you can cut them short if theyre ok with it. you can also stack clients or piggy back clients, so like have on join in the last half hour, and continue training that one after the first is over. the supersport said they get 1200 sessions per week on average and have 26 trainers. thats roughly 40 a week per trainer at about 10-15 per sessions, so around $400-600 full time per week. not the greatest but not completely horrible either. supersport is where you wanna be because all the rich ****ers go there, aside from the upper tier gyms. those ones require bachelor degrees though
That's where I train anyways.
they also pay for your membership if youre employed by them. and after 3 months, theyll pay for "one significant other" like id have more than one or something. and be careful with the part time idea. if you limit your hours of business, then youll have to find clients with similar hours to you. its pretty rough doing it part time be ause you can have huge gaps of time between sessions. if you have the option, look into physical therapy instead. it goes from physical therapy aide -> assistant -> therapist. therapist = $70grand a year starting, but requires a masters in physical therapy. top 10% = $110grand/year
