Becoming a Certified Personal Trainer

by Leave a Comment

To realize my dream of teaching mediation & qigong and training others for fitness & self defense, I think I need to become a certified personal trainer. The NASM Self Study Program costs $699, which you can choose to pay off in 4 installments (699/4 = $174.75). I think it would be good  to start next month, because Octavio is giving us a tuition wavier after this period for helping him with his school. In the meantime I can focus on JKD.
