Alex, can one do personal training through IM? There's a goldmine waiting to be had.

Edna> Did them. Now what?

you don't need to be a personal trainer for that. You just need a set of electrodes wired up to a big mac
In order to get the "watch fatties work out" job your going to have to flirt with the fatties, even fck the fatties.....
Sounds like a good job to me!

i went from 260 to 170 in a year with out training. just the internet.
A trainer in my eyes are just there to motivate the lazzzzzzy asses. I love it when I see trainers at my gym doing bullshit exercises. it makes their client feel like they know the workout secret.
end of rant.
on the other hand. they probably bank if they work hard. $70-100 an hour isnt bad.
why do you want to become a trainer?
also. i disagree with uber. Nutrition is not 99%. For an average person trying to lose weight diet is good but they won't get anywhere without exercise. They are both important.
Diet becomes extremely important when you are looking to go sub 10-12% bf

in my opinion, if a person is a "personal trainer" and isn't huge/ripped, it's kind of like someone on DP selling an ebook about how to make money online. i don't have any idea what the OP looks like, just sayin'.
one of my goals i hope to realize soon is to open a gym where i live and hire a couple experienced powerlifters to manage it and train other people on my equipment (ie. YouTube - joedefranco's Channel). there's a definite need for more gyms like that. too many of those faggot 1 hour fitness gyms everywhere.

Losing weight is extremely simple science. If you want to gain weight, consume more calories than your body needs to maintain it's current weight. If you want to lose weight, consume less calories than your body needs to maintain it's current weight. Exercise just creates a calorie deficit (in regards to losing weight), instead of running to burn 300 calories you can just eat 300 less calories that day.
In referring to nutrition being basically all of fat loss, I'm referring to calories. Exercise can be a great way for fatties to burn some calories and that way still eat more food, but it's certainly not necessary.
I wouldn't advise not exercising to anybody either, everybody should do it in some form for the cardiovascular benefits. But if alexb's main goals are to get people losing weight, he should primarily look at becoming a nutritional consultant perhaps in addition to becoming a certified trainer.

That would be a false statement.
I was writing articles for bodybuilding.com and helping other people train when I was 15 years old and 140lbs. I was simply too lazy to eat a shitload of food so I stayed tiny for a long time but still read for hours a day on physiology and nutrition. I knew exactly what to do, I just spent too much time reading and too little time putting it into practice. Once I put it into practice, I gained over 50lbs in a year.
None of the trainers at my gym are really huge or ripped, but they help their clients because they know what they're talking about.

ok, you wrote stories when you were 15 for a website and you listen to everything your "trainers" at one hour fitness say. never really "put it into practice", but you still know all about "it". awesome. stay uber dude.
50lbs of muscle in a year is pure bullshit. i'm seriously laughing at the thought of going from 220 to 270 in a year. even with gear that's utterly impossible.
Going from 140 - 190 is totally different from 220 - 270 though. I'm about 220 and think I'm doing good if I put on about a pound a month, when I was 180 two pounds a month wasn't too hard for the same amount of training, and I remember when I was a kid putting weight on at a daft pace when I was training hard.
Yea, I'm sure he didn't mean 100% muscle, but still... if a person had never worked out before, it might be possible to gain like 20lbs of muscle in a year if they followed a good program to a "T". In uber's case that would mean he also gained about 30lbs of fat if the total was 50lbs. Saying "I gained 50lbs" is pretty misleading.
I rocked that Bulgarian Burst bullshit training program when I was 19 and went from 160 to 185 in about 3.5 months, stuffing my grill at the cafeteria 3 meals a day. Still had an 8 pack so I don't know if the BF% went up much, maybe fractions of a percent. Then I got injured (most likely from the constant overtraining) and strep (same) and lost half of it back. But I could certainly see putting on 50# of muscle in a year if you were a beginner, an ecto, dedicated, and ate like a horse.

Let's say, for the sake of argument, that sitting on your ass all day burns 1,500 calories. You consume 1,800 calories, resulting in weight gain. 1,800 is pretty low, so cutting back to 1,500 would be difficult, although you would technically no longer be gaining weight.
Now, on the other hand, let's take 1,800 calories per day guy and stick him on a treadmill for an hour every day. Suddenly his body is using 1,8000-2,000 calories per day, so he's no longer gaining weight AND he can maintain his current diet.
