Default not sure where to post this.

What do you need for a health/fitness trainer degree? Will I need to take math and if so what level?

You could get a Bachelor's degree in that field, you could get NASM certified, then there's CSCS and NSCA ...
Does that give you a place to start?

I think for the Bachelor's degree you need at least 3 or 4 math credits. That's not that much math at all. It really all depends on where you get the degree from too though. For example, GCU requires 3 math credits and NAU requires 4. So yes, you will need to take math if you haven't already, and you will probably need at least "College Algebra" level.

It really depends on where you attend college. I only needed to take college algebra... but I've been out of college for 12 years.... (wow, I'm old! )
