    Thanks :) I've not done my Gym instructor yet I've been trying to decide which training provider to go with and then work out the money, it can be an expensive course.

    Are you in UK or USA?

    Ignore that, just looked on your profile!

    I use Future Fit, and theye been amazing!! They are REPS certified and its a City and Guilds certification. Also, just saw that the UK Biggest Loser winner has joined my course.

    The downside is the money, but I put mine on a interest free credit card so can pay it off with no interest.

    Yeah I was looking at them actually but there isn't a training base near me and it is way over my budget at the minute. luckily I've found a provider in my city and it's way cheaper they're also REPS certified and its a City and Guilds as far as I'm aware (need to check that)

    I don't dare trust getting loans or cards at the minute with jobs not being too safe and the rates being sky high lol

    Its not a City and Guilds but is accredited by the Central YMCA. Plus it's not as totally indepth as the Advanced Personal Trainer Diploma I was looking at for future fit but they do all additional courses seperately.

    There are way too many aspects to consider to get in to the industry. I swear I never had this problem doing managment degrees lol

    I know, it took me ages to find a provider that I liked. The money is high, but my husband said he would help pay for it. Now we've separated, so had to take the minimum payments down. Never know what life will throw at you!!
