Personal Trainer Pocketbook: A Handy Reference for All Your Daily Questions

I have been a personal trainer for about six years. I found this book to be a great addition to my training library. I run a private studio and will have this on loan for all of my trainers to read. Every trainer should check this book out! Full of very useful information for trainers of all types and in all situations.

Very informative and a quick read. Jon talks about saving time which I am a strong advocate of. I literally read the whole book before I went to bed. Great rapid fire sources of information with additional supplemental links.

If you have his other book, don't get this one. It doesn't have any new information that is not already in the other personal training book. It's not even re-worded or rearranged. It's literally the same information word for word. Book is useful if you don't have the other one so I'm giving it 4 stars.

Whether your a new personal trainer or have been a personal trainer for years, this book has great information for advice on personal training for everybody no matter what point of your career you are in. This book has insider tips and information to help you have success in you personal trainer career. Great references to other books you may be interested in or that may be helpful to you as well. A must buy!

the title and picture lead me to believe it would include actually personal training tips...not...lot of info on how to run a successful personal training business...how to get clients (fill out calendar with fake appointments) lure clients in by flattery etc. and there are no certification programs worth the money out there...have training credentials might help convince some clients...satisfied customers bring satisfied customers ...focus on business people who want to look good...real estate sales people, etc

Love this book almost half way done with it in the first two days !

I have been working as a group fitness instructor for 5 years. Just received my PT Ceeridication and tell you the truth I'm nervous!! There is so much to learn beyond the Certification book. This author knows the ins and outs. He gives several life training experiences of his own. I would also get the book that compliments this one. He has eased my mind knowing I will be an awesome trainer.

It's a very easy read. I found the information useful.

All is OK

I believe every person working or considering to work as a personal trainer should read this book. It would help weed out the masses of the trainers who are not committed to personal growth and development, which would help to elevate the profession.

Amazing book. I read the ignite the fire, so I was already attracted to this. Another motivational book for trainers and also everyday society. This is a book where you would have to read again and again. Highly recommended

Really good book, well worth the money. After reading this book I have started to build my personal training business as hoped. Found out about the personal development center through facebook. I plan to buy Jonathan Goodman's other book "ignite the fire" shortly. Thank you for writing such a informative, helpful book.

I have purchased both ignite the fire as well as the personal trainer pocket book, and can honestly say novice trainers to experienced trainers there is definitely something for both. Definitely get you won’t be disappointed.
