Personal Fitness Training Beyond The Basics

Most personal training textbooks are too long, too complicated and too boring. They also cover stuff you will never need to know. I wrote Personal Fitness Training Beyond The Basics to teach fitness professionals the information they need to know in the real world.

I wrote this book to give you a user friendly, college degree in personal training –  in under 250 pages.  No other book does this. I’m VERY serious about that bold statement.

Contained within these pages is the information and knowledge I have had to

know in the reals world.

Yes my book can help yo prepare for ANY fitness certification but its so much more than that. This book teaches you to be a qualified personal trainer, rather than just a “certified” trainer.

Here are the chapters in my personal trainer book:

Chapter 1. Becoming a Personal Trainer

Chapter 2. What To Do When You Get a New Client

Chapter 3. How Will You Be Paid as a Personal Trainer?

Chapter 4. How We Make Energy

Chapter 5. Anatomy & Physiology

Chapter 6. Muscle Physiology

Chapter 7. Cardiovascular Physiology

Chapter 8. How to Design an Exercise Program (that’s safe and effective!)

Chapter 9. Exercise Technique (I cover 50 different exercises!)

Chapter 10. How Hard are People Exercising?

Chapter 11. Fitness Testing

Chapter 12. Getting a Job in Fitness

Chapter 13. Questions and Answers (people WILL ask these questions!)

Chapter 14. How to deal with special needs people (diabetes ,arthritis etc.)

Note. This is the 2nd edition – the newest edition of the book.
