I'm now a personal trainer apprentice at my local YMCA
 

So you know how I want to become a personal trainer in college? Well my school has a program that allows you to intern in an organization during the year! So I get to intern at my Y :D I'm so happy!

Good for you! Sounds fun :)

Great Opportunity.

Congrats! That should be really fun!

I'm so excited! :D Too bad I have to wait until like, August

That'll give you plenty of time to get into great shape and become really familiar with all the equipment!

That is true! I just want to reach 200 by July!

You can do it!

I'm a Y program director and personal trainer so I know just what you're getting yourself into. Go with all the Y has to offer - it's a lot and it's great - and prepare yourself. Personal training certification comes in many forms. ACE and NASM are the top two because they're very thorough but you can work as a PT anywhere in the country once you've got it. The other ones aren't recognized.

You can be an inspiration to others and I wish you well. PM me if you have any specific Qs.

Best wishes.
