Hi guys!

I passed my CPT cert. last month. I think it was the happiest day of my life once the shock wore off. I am so proud of my cert. I have to tell everyone. That was one hard test harder then my entire college career lol.

I created a business name, I am insured, I made up business cards and post cards but now what? I am pretty well known at my gym. They will refer me but the other trainers have 20 + exp over me. I have been in contact with other gyms but then reality sets in that I am competing against personal trainers who have been in the fitness industry for years and have mant other certifications. What will clients look what kind of certification do you have or how much experience do you have? I know its only been a month but I have no idea how to get my foot in the door. I never thought it was going to be easy but I thought it would be a little easier.

I am also becoming ACE certified in Group Fitness Instruction which I am hoping will help me in the long run however there is a lot of competion in group fitness too. Just hoping anyone has any ideas. Its way too early for me to be feeling like I failed when I just started out. I just cannot wait to start training people.
