Hello all,

My name is Todd and I'm located in the Seattle area.

I'm an ex-gym rat. Most people in college spent their time in the bars, I spent mine lifting bars... sorry, couldn't help myself. :mrgreen: Anyway, a few years ago my wife and I wanted to lose weight and improve our fitness. I've lost 50 lbs, and she's lost, well a gentleman doesn't reveal these things. Anyway, I've been her trainer for the last three years and the other day she made mention that I should become a trainer. The funny thing is that I have wanted to do that for close to twenty years, but my career took me other places.

I'm considering gaining certification and finding a part time gig somewhere. That's right, I want to be a PT-PT.

Anyway, this seemed like a good place to hang out and learn about the industry, and whether or not I really want to make this committment.

Thanks for reading.
