Hi,
I'm a Belgian student who did succesfully graduate this year. I studied " licentiaat ( or in your terminology master) in physical education with a supplementary degree in biomedical and clinical engeneric techniques. Over 2 weeks I will do the tests for ACSM.
I'm considering to start something with personal training. Here in Belgium, personal training is new. We used to work with fitness instructors who didn't handle the concept of personal training. I heard that in the US the 'personal training concept' is very in. Now I'm wondering somebody ( maybe someone who's working as a personal trainer on his own) can give me some information about the concept he is using ?
For instance: how many athletes or non-athletes do you train each day? Do you work with a price/ hour or do the athletes or non athletes have the option for taking 2 month monitoring packet for which they pay then a certain price?
On which aspects are you following them? what do I all need ( equipment, place)?
That are the most of my questions. I hope someone who's experienced in the business can answer them. I thing visiting the US will be too expensive for me, so that's the only way for getting some accurate information.
THanks.
