Should personal trainers have a college degree or be certified with a certain certifying agency?
Not necessarily. A college degree adds to the credibility of the trainer and is what most people suggest as a requirement when hiring personal trainers. But they may do so simply to save face… Sometimes experience and passion build a stronger education experience than a formal education with a person who lacks curiosity or ingenuity. Let’s leave the fitness world for a second: Consider gardeners. Some of the best gardeners never had a formal education. Their hands are always in the dirt—they live and breathe gardening. The read, they experiment, and they are the best resources for garden information. Same thing for personal trainers! You can gauge a person’s qualification by their passion. That said, never hire a trainer without the proper certification.
