I have personal liability and medical waiver forms. I have coached wrestling, was in the marines and I love fitness and nutrition.

Most people that go to the gym know that most gym have group fitness classes like pilates, cardio kickboxing, step aerobics, yoga, etc. In order to teach these group fitness classes does one have to pass some sort of exam or certification? And are you certified to teach all the classes or just one type like step aerobics?

In minnesota can a person give out nutrition/fitness advice as a type of consultant if he/she does not posess a certification in Nutrition or personal trainer. I’m contemplating become a diet/exercise consultant and I’m taking some courses, but these will not get me certified. I’m just wondering legally if this can be done without the certifications. I know in most states you don’t need the certifications.

I’ve been really heavy into fitness for a while now, and I’ve come to realize that I want to do it for a living. What do I have to do?

I’m looking to become a certified fitness instructor (group fitness/aerobics/steb/kickboxing). I know a few people who have gone different routes for their certification and wondered if anyone knew which company/association was the best to go through. I’m looking for a not-super-expensive one that is recognizable.
Thanks!
