Training
I am a certified personal trainer through the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM). I took a break from training when I transitioned to my new role of General Manager at Metro Fitness Club and Metro CrossFit and Training Center but I am now taking on new clients. I have experience working with all ages and fitness levels and love working with clients to help them meet their goals. I also hold a 200-hour registered yoga teacher certification through Yoga Alliance and I offer private yoga sessions.

I’m considering getting my personal trainer certification and am looking at the different options. How did you decide which certification to get and was there something about the NASM certification that made it stand out to you? Thanks!!
Some of the most respected personal training certifications in the industry are ACSM and NASM. I selected NASM because it didn’t require an in-person workshop/test and ACSM does. NASM is completely self-study and then you go to a testing center when you’re ready to take the exam. It’s a computer test with multiple choice questions. I also like NASM because it is focused on functional training and teaches you a lot about anatomy and understanding the way people move and how to correct movement so that they feel better in their everyday life. I am eventually going to pursue more advanced training and get my Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) so NASM was a good place to start.
If you decide to go with NASM you should be able to find a discount code online to save 10 or 15% on the package price. I went with the basic package. You don’t need all of the extra study aids they try to sell you.
Let me know if you have any other questions!
Thanks so much for your response! It’s very helpful and I really appreciate it!
Hi Jen,
How long did you practice yoga before becoming certified to teach?
Thanks.

Hi Jen,
I’m a runner, but when I started, it took a little over 10 pounds off me that I did not need to lose. How should a runner fuel her body? I am a big health nut and clean eater, but I’m not sure about how much I need to eat or what I need to eat for running. Can you help me out?
Thanks,
Stacie
