I am brand new here and I just wanted to post a question for you all. I am scheduled to take my NSCA-CPT test this Tuesday. I am trying to decide where and how I would like to work once I'm certified. I am a mother of two so I am not looking for a full time job. I would love to do some sort of online training, where I would do the program design and then there would be weekly check in's etc. Because that I could do from the comfort of my home while my kids are napping. I would be willing to leave the house but not everyday. Probobly not more than 2-3 days a week. The trainers at the commercial gyms here are a joke and I'd rather steer clear of working for them, if I can.

Here are some ideas I've thought of: some spas employ trainers to do program design for their clients, there are a few smaller gyms in the area I could contact as well as some big corporations/businesses that have gyms at their work place. Can you help me think of any other ideas I could look into?

Also, how do you all feel about online personal training? What would be the best way to spread the word?

Thanks in advance for all the help!
