When I first decided I wanted to be a personal trainer I had no idea how to get into the industry. Through a few clicks of my mouse I had it narrowed down to two ways. With thoughtful prayer and assistance from the VA, I was on my way to an Occupational Associates Degree in Advanced Health and Fitness from Bryan University. I did not think it would be easy, but I have learned some things that I never had a forethought about.
For the past 13 months I have been knee deep in school life; all for the hope of knowledge to become a personal trainer through National Academy of Sports Medicine, a gold standard in fitness certification. Known as one of the more difficult exams to pass I feel that I can go in with confidence. If I do not pass this exam today I will cry like a baby. The reason I will cry is because with all the information I have been engraining into my head through countless hours of studying, losing friends, and failing in my mom/wife obligations, it will be all for naught. I sincerely do not expect to fail, i'm just saying.
So today is the day!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am still a little over a month from graduation, but if I pass today then I will be a Certified Personal Trainer! NO if's and's, or but's about it!!!
The learning doesn't stop there. I will continue to aim for specialty certifications through NASM and other fitness associations. The first two on my list are Youth Exercise Specialist, and Fitness Nutrition Specialist.
Here I go, in T-2 point 5 hours I will be in the exam room!
I would sincerely appreciate any prayers <3
