What’s The Quickest And Easiest Way To Becoming A Personal Trainer?

I have been working out, pretty much my entire life. I am only 23 but I have been into nutrition, health, and working out since I was 15. I am, visually and health wise, in great shape.
I want to become a personal trainer in the Northern Virginia Area. I work out at a local Gold’s Gym and wanted to know what I needed to do to become a PT. I want to become one fast and cheaply as possible. I’m not just saying this because I want to make money fast but because I already train friends and family and have a pretty good idea of what type of workouts fit each person.
I heard that I don’t necessarily NEED a certification. Is this true?
Please advise! Thanks!

  1. There are dumb two week/two month programs you can get for certification
    if you ever pic up a muscle mag they always have ads for those schools
    Just get a normal certification..
    So you actually know what you doing
    …i want to this as a career as well
