Video resources

Hi everyone, what are the best online resources or videos you can recommend that would help me with my studies? I am learning to become a personal trainer and really want to be the best I can be. Thank you so much.

First of all congratulations for your choice and your atitude.

I think what dday39 said to you is a very good idea. I don't know if is allowed to post here a entire list of yotube channels or sites BUT you will find a very high number of materials, just take time to search and select.

And try to learn most of the time from books that are specially designed for purposes like yours and are much more complex and detailed.

Different IP addresses for the alleged Spammers. Will keep an eye out, though!

I was at barnes and noble a while back and saw a book called "how to become a personal trainer for dummies". I read a chapter their and it was very informative of what it takes to be a great trainer.

Not just knowledge of training and nutrition helps but working with people with disabilities (low back, etc) and how to get them in shape.

it was a big book with plenty of other cool information, i enjoyed it although i dont plan on being a trainer haha

I've been in the industry for a few years and the number one thing I would recommend is: if you want to be the best, you need to learn from the best.

Here's a few I would recommend you start with:

1. Christian Thibaudeau
2. Paul Carter
3. Jim Wendler
4. Dave Tate
5. Matt Kroc
6. Joe DeFranco
7. Smitty Diesel
8. Mike Robertson
9. Tony Gentilcore
10. Bryce Lewis
11. Eric Cressey
12. Mike Boyle
13. Dean Somerset
14. Jonathan Goodman
15. Nick Tuminello
16. Dan Trink
17. Brad Scheonfeld
18. Alan Aragon
19. Mike Israetel
20. Molly Galbraith
21. Nia Shanks
22. Bret Contreras
23. Darkside Strength - Quinn Henoch & Ryan Brown
24. Any and all of the guys at JTS Strength

Start there. Read anything these guys put out. You need a solid foundation of knowledge initially before you try to specialize. Your topic of specialization will develop as you learn more and begin to see what you enjoy.

I'm personally a biomechanics guy, it's what I enjoy and something I'm fairly good at, so talking shop regarding technique and functional anatomy is what I do.

If you want to join the best group on facebook for PTs and strength coaches alike, search for "The Education of a Fitness Professional". It's run by a guy named Will Levy and will offer a variety of resources that are incredibly helpful.
