    I conduct certification classes for the fitness organization, AAAI/ISMA. This brings me in contact with thousands of people every year. Because of this privilege, I have a very good idea of the study habits of those who pass certification exams and those who do not pass. I also have some other useful ideas that can help you also if you are trying to become a personal fitness trainer. The points I list here will work for most other fitness certifications as well.

    1. Use earplugs. It doesn't matter what fitness certification you are trying to pass, if you are in a room with a bunch of other people, you may be easily distracted during the test by all the little noises that others make. This can mean the difference between passing and failing a test.

    Serving as a resource for personal trainers as well as other fitness professionals, the Think Tank should be a pressure-free, open environment where users can feel safe to exchange information and advice. That being said, we understand that many of you have your own products, services, and businesses that you'd like to promote on the forum that you think would be helpful to other members.

    Therefore, below are guidelines for promoting your product, service, or business:

    1) Please promote your product, service, or business by adding the information to your signature ONLY.

    2) You may advertise your product, service, or business under your profile. You may NOT blog about your product or service.

    3) If your product or service could be beneficial to someone who has posted a question please feel free to promote in this manner, but only after you have become an active member of our community.

    4) Members are not allowed to offer unsolicited services through email or private messages. If you have been approached in this manner please contact me immediately.

    5) Your product, service, or business should be fitness related. In order to maintain the integrity of the content, any posting that contains any content other than fitness related information will be deleted.

    Note: This includes products, services, ebooks, blogs, freebies, giveaways, prizes, competitions, etc.

    Posts that do not follow these guidelines will be promptly deleted. We invite you to become a member of our community and to engage in conversation with other personal trainers.

    Thanks for understanding.
