Many times, people assume they will be a good personal trainer because they like to work out and have helped their friends have success working out.

A lack of education can lead to devastating consequences. Personal Training malpractice has led to permanent injuries, billions in malpractice lawsuits, and even death. At this point, you don’t KNOW what you don’t KNOW about the industry.
