Continuing Education for Fitness Professionals:

Every two years, nationally-certified fitness professionals - group exercise instructors, personal trainers, and the like - need to earn a designated number of continuing education credits (CECs) to renew their certifications. In recent years, more and more opportunities have become available for these people to earn many or all of their credits via home study. This convenience is certainly welcome in our busy world - we all love the idea of "them" coming to us instead of us going to "them" - but are we giving up something by losing that personal touch of live training? I emphatically argue, "Yes!" I see an occasional home study as a good thing - taking the time to focus on one subject area and really absorb the material at your own pace is a wonderful thing - but nothing beats live training, especially in an industry that is - or should be - all about the individual (i.e., the club member or the personal training client).For more on this Click Here
