Interests: Mountain biking, Spear fishing, getting strong
Current Weight: 75kg
Height: 175cm

Deadlift: 155
Bench: 95

Hi Everyone
My name is Paul, I live in Sydney and I currently work in Real Estate.
Outside of work I am interested in fitness (go to the gym, play soccer and cycle occassionally), nutrition and history.
I have been thinking of a career change and would like to become a personal trainer. Problem is there are just sooooo many courses I cant tell the good from the bad. Any assistance with this would be much appreciated.
Talk soon

There all the same... And unfortunatley with everything in life there is no course for EXPERIENCE.
Its basically a paid certificate. You will learn about anatomy and physiology ( i hope) and perhaps the legality sides of operating. That is about it.
The rest is up to you and your inititive.
Just think of it like real estate. You didnt do your cert of registration and become super epic awesome property expert. It like everything worthwhile takes time.
