Personal Training Certification Numbers Expected to Increase in 2011 and Beyond

Redondo Beach, CA ( openpr ) February 25, 2011 – Personal training certification is perhaps the most critical step in securing one of the most sought after job roles in current times: the personal trainer. Because the benefits of fitness have become so well-known across the country, there are now thousands of exercise enthusiasts interested in becoming personal trainers, as well as many others eager to hire them.

This demand has led to expectations that personal training certifications and job openings will steadily increase for the next several years. One story featured on the CNNMoney website found that personal training jobs are expected to grow rapidly through 2014. Personal trainers are likely to be sought after in areas with large populations like New York, New Jersey, and Los Angeles; personal training certification also should be popular in warm-weather cities like Miami, San Diego, Las Vegas, and Phoenix.

"Lots of people want to get a personal training certificate these days because they know that they can help others get fit, which can be extremely rewarding. Plus trainers spend much of their professional time exercising too, which is a fun way to earn a living," explained Desmond Baldwin, an operator of a website all about certification. "There are people currently in other careers who want to learn how to become a personal trainer. You are seeing more individuals who would like to study for their personal training certification online because they are too busy to attend regularly-scheduled classes in person. It is not surprising that the profession is expected to expand over the next several years."

With all of the organizations offering courses for personal trainer certification, it can be confusing to figure out which programs are the best to pursue. There are personal training schools that base their curriculums on preparing candidates for exams, and the certifying bodies themselves also offer courses directly.
