Personal Fitness Professional - August 2008 - (Page 24) courses. Research what’s being offered in your geographic or specialty area. Special note: If the certifying agency lists the event on their website, you can feel comfortable that they have validated the speaker’s credentials and the integrity of the course. While it’s no guarantee that the CEU will be great, it’s a good sign that the academic and the speaker quality meet specific requirements. What’s Hot? Our Survey Says: • Group X: HOT — Group anything is hot if only to accommodate the faltering economy. Three senior clients paying $30 is more economically feasible than one person paying $65 hourly. Learn Group X. Learn choreography. Learn how to watch for individual trouble signs in a group environment. Learn the art of boot camps, perhaps the fastest-growing segment of personal training today. • Functional Training: HOT — Sometimes it’s a good idea to get your client out of the weight room and away from fixed-motion equipment. Do different stuff. If it helps your client perform what he or she does on a daily basis with more efficiency, in a safer manner and while addressing all the basic components of strength, endurance, flexibility, power, coordination and balance — that’s functional. • Road Warrior Training: HOT — We’re a mobile society, so tap that market! A person’s waist line is directly proportional to their travel and living expense account.

It’s what you need but you do not necessarily want to do because “it ain’t no fun,” as we say in Georgia. Things every trainer needs are: ¸ CPR/AED/First Aid recertification ¸ Fitness Assessment and Analysis ¸ Legal/Policy Issues in personal training ¸ Training in your specialty area, such as training the older client ¸ Sales/marketing/business skills As the saying goes (this is paraphrased without permission), “You can’t always get what you want, but if you try sometime, you just might find [you get the continuing education] that you need.” Philippe Ray is the President/Owner of NPTI Colorado (www.NPTIColorado.com), Fitness Resources (www.FitnessResourcesSeminars.com) and the Personal Best Fitness Center (www.PersonalBestDenverWest. com).
