I'm interested in getting my personal training certifcation and my group exercise instructor certification (not sure which order) I think I've pretty much decided on the NASM-CPT certification....My issue is financially I'm not sure if I can pull it. I know if I went to get my degree I'd be eligible for complete financial aide as I'm a single individual unemployed with a child. Any ideas or suggestions? Should I just try and go for my associates degree? and should I steer clear of online CPT courses or order the material and do it on my own? I live in Wisconsin.....can't seem to find any type of courses or workshops in my area. Help!!! Any advice or suggestions are greatly appreciated!
