Pro-Fit WorldWide is one of the most complete online programs developed for personal training, but we push your skill development even further.

Pro-Fit WorldWide will also send you on a paid trip to Las Vegas to be tested by Mike “Big Guns” Matarazzo in a four-day training-intensive boot camp. During this time, you will receive concentrated, hands-on training from Mike to make sure you understand the finer points of proper fitness training.

We finish your training by bringing you out of the online classroom and putting you to work at a real fitness facility in a 50-hour externship. This externship gives you an opportunity to work with professional fitness experts and get an up-close look at the demands made on them as they do their job.

Upon completion of the Pro-Fit WorldWide Personal Training program, you will be awarded a diploma. Then Pro-Fit WorldWide will pay for you to take one certification test with either the American Council on Exercise (ACE) or the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA). Once you pass either of these tests, you earn your certification as a Personal Trainer and can begin helping clients through your own personal business or gain employment in a number of fitness-related businesses.

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts that employment will increase from 177,790 fitness workers in 2003 to 263,947 by 2012.

The number of health clubs offering personal trainers has also risen from 42 percent in 1996 to 71 percent in 2003.

More companies are becoming concerned with their employee’s state of health and have begun a nationwide movement to help their employees seek out not just better healthcare, but an overall healthier lifestyle. This involves everything from reimbursement to employees for certified workouts, to needing qualified people to advise companies on their in-house health programs. In the last three years alone, this trend has increased 8 percent throughout the entire nation.
