The first six months of 2021 have come and gone. Most of us at NETA are scratching our heads and wondering where the time has gone – we’re half through the year already! After the uncertainty of 2020 and the first few months of 2021, we are ready to focus on the future and take on new challenges. How are you feeling? Do you need a change of direction or inspiration to take the next step towards pursuing a goal? If so, we have a few ideas for you:
Renew Your Primary Certification
Life happens and priorities change. If you let your Personal Trainer or Group Exercise Instructor Certification expire, it’s not too late to renew it! It takes time, effort and a financial investment to earn a primary certification, and we don’t want you to give that up because the expiration date has passed. Learn about the renewal options here.
Enhance Your Skills by Adding a Specialty Certification 
If you’re already certified as a Personal Trainer or Group Exercise Instructor and are looking to develop superior expertise in a specialized discipline, earning a Specialty Certification is a great option. It not only brings your education and skills to the next level, but Specialty Certifications also provide continuing education credits (CECs) approved by NETA, ACE and AFAA. Check out NETA’s Specialty Certifications here.
Find an Area of Expertise with a Home Study Course
Ongoing education is necessary to keep you at the top of your game. If you want to stand out in this industry and provide the best service possible to your clients, then you must continue to learn and develop new skills. Home study courses are a great way to achieve this, all in the comfort of your home and on your timeline. NETA’s extensive home study course library includes traditional print format courses, as well as an ever-expanding selection of online courses and e-learning modules.
Commit to Connecting and Collaborating
Fit Fest isn’t all about earning your CECs in one week. We’ve heard from so many previous attendees that Fit Fest is inspirational, educational and revitalizing! The opportunity to connect with fitness professionals and like-minded individuals from around the country is a unique one that shouldn’t be wasted. Join us at the upcoming Virtual Fit Fest on October 11-17, 2021 to expand your network!
Find a Fresh Start
Are you just starting your journey as a fitness professional and trying to find your first job? Or is it time for you to make a big change with a fresh start by training at a new club or facility? Our job posting board is a great place to start! The postings include a wide variety of types of positions, as well as local and nation-wide locations.
