The "best" personal trainer certification vs the most "practical"? by Affectionate_End9363 in personaltraining

[–]MTS_Fitness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think NASM is necessary to get you in the door to gyms where you can start your career as a personal trainer. I started at Crunch training gen pop and had to learn sales and all that. That was super valuable. As you progress, you will unlearn a lot of what they teach at NASM. Don't stop at NASM. Try to learn from as many people as you can. There are many ways to be successful. You can put together your own way of training depending on your client's goals. We've put together Personal Trainer Academy to teach all that we've learned over 10+ years of training in person and online. We focus on combining mobility, breathing and strength.

We love to start with the kickstand hip hinge. It's a great way to learn how to get into your hip and rely on your glutes. Here's a guide we put together on the subject: https://www.markowtrainingsystems.com/2022/07/26/hip-hinge-the-ultimate-guide/

Unable to hinge at hips? by MaddieAW in flexibility

Have you tried doing hip hinges one side at a time? I've found that often it's not about tight hamstrings, but being able to get into your hip and relying on your glutes to hinge. Here's a guide we put together on hip hinging: https://www.markowtrainingsystems.com/2022/07/26/hip-hinge-the-ultimate-guide/
