How to....become a CPT in Canada

Will_Thrust_For_Candy

Good morning all!

I'm hoping I can draw on the experience of some of you here that are trainers.

One of my goals this year is to start the process to become a personal trainer. Ideally I would like to take the necessary courses to get that certification as well as some sort of certification in nutrition to start with. Ultimately I would like to be a life coach of sorts.

I currently have a sales career and am established within my field. What I would like to do now is start to come up with a plan to transition myself into a new career doing something that I love and am passionate about.

I would like recommendations and experiences as well as thoughts on where I should the certification through. I have heard a lot about Can-Fit Pro....is that the best option in Canada?

Any and all advice is appreciated! Thank you :happy:

I too am interested. I had a sales and public relations background.

My cousin who is a trainer as well as my gym told me to start with CanFit and then after that I think it depends province to province. If you want to specialize in certain things it will take a lot more courses on physiology and what not. I'm not a trainer, but would also like to become one at some point so I've started asking the questions.

Yeah, it kind of seems like our options here are much more limited in terms of organizations to get certified through. Thank you for your reply!
