If you have both, yes they will. Few people do because of the amount of work & time in studying for each test. Not to mention cost as they are another set of study materials and a separate test fee. There is not a lot of money to be made in fitness these days in most areas.
There are some independent gyms that if you have a Personal Training cert will allow you to instruct classes. (not the other way though) Most franchise agreements for the chains specifically do not allow them. -
Alice. Squats are still the best exercise for building the butt though polekat mentioned another good one and yes with a dumbell wedged behind the knee. It will stay in place as you do not fully extend the leg. Lunges are good too.
There are two important things to keep in mind:
1) You build a bigger rounder butt by increasing the muscle mass of the glutes. To build mass (as opposed to strength or toning up) you want to do heavy weights and low reps. Ten reps (failure) or less per set. Lower weight and higher reps will build strength but not as much size. This is why almost all professional weightlifters male & female have big round butts.
2) When doing squats, you want to get to the absolutely lowest point you can. It is from the lowest point that fully engages all of the gluteal muscles plus the quads. That may mean starting with no weight initially until you build strength in those muscles. But not going as low is just cheating and will not be as effective. -
Actually the posts are less than a year and everything is still valid so no need to retype the same thing.
I renewed my NASM Personal Trainer Cert last year. I have study materials for several other certs. NASM focuses more on understand body mechanics which is what I wanted since its not a vocation for myself.
One thing to be aware of if you are certified in Group, you can be a Group class Instructor but a gym will not hire you for Personal Training. If you have a Personal Training Cert, they normally will not hire you for Group Classes. -
I lost my Mother nine years ago this week to cancer. My Father is almost three years. Was his caregiver for several years and then did Hospice at home. It is always tough and painful but as my parents had told me at one time, our parents always want us children to carry on being the best person we can be, while continuing to live & enjoy our own lives.
Stay strong for your Mother and yourself. -
They were having a sale for the past couple of weeks on the SSA. Must have been a closeout. Noticed on the UK Platinum Stages website they do not have ANY stages available.
Maybe X-pole bought them out or they are having business issues. -
What phoenix said plus political spam. That is why I constantly remove people (friends?) As FB friends.

She told me its allure Planck from home depot. If I can get back to poling am putting it in my garage.

@Katytate
You or anyone else is more than welcome to disagree with me. If you read some of the articles on the website I posted, I state several times there are no experts including myself.You definitely should purchase Jenae’s book which is still for sale. Its an eBook download so you could obtain it today. Maybe it will help you.
Sorry to hear your business could not compete when a studio opened. That was your situation and I am sure there was more to it than just someone came to town. There are many studios that are still a success after larger companies have moved in. I am trying to assist those that wish to start a business in the pole industry or want to improve their existing pole business. Not just pole studios, BTW. I do not charge a cent (or pence) to access. People can read it and choose to ignore it, if they want.
Maybe you have something to contribute? Even a business failure teaches many lessons.

@deb5600
I was in no way giving you specific legal advice nor should I. It also appeared you were asking a generic question which is what I answered.Regardless of the type of mount, it comes down more importantly to your lease (a legal document) and laws governing. For the pole, the type of mount is fairly irrelevant. It is the damage it causes and/or whether it will be considered a change according to “leasehold improvements.â€
Leaving the mounts & taking the poles is alright in your opinion. That counts no more than my opinion, which is why I won’t give specific legal advice. It becomes a legal question. Ask any Real Estate attorney for their opinion.

Portable poles should not be mounted to the structure so would never apply. Permanent type poles are a different story. Your lease should have a section called “leasehold improvements†that may be more specific and if exists overrides the law. That is why you should include it in your lease and specify about poles.
Not every state or country describes it exactly the same but most state law it comes down to whether it can be removed without leaving damage. Some states it includes anything that is an added value to the leased space. The law applies whether you are the original lessee or are subletting. It is meant to include permanent fixtures like sinks, lights, flooring, etc. But like anything else people sometimes use the law to their advantage. Realize if you mount poles into steel ceilings, leaving holes is damage. Of course it might be worked out to pay for damage rather than leave the poles as most property owners are more interested in the property. Although metal girders need to be welded which can get expensive. As to the question about taking the poles and leaving the mounts, that would be like leaving the faucet which is attached and taking the sink.
I have an article about leases at: http://polebiz.com/leases/ -
Find the head maintenance person and ask. They will know how to find a correct stud and mounting. If they need to look in your apartment and you don’t want them to know its for a pole, tell them you want to hang a very heavy planter. That’s what the ceiling mount is supposed to look like.

Probably because if you do a search for: crash mats
its been discussed already many many times. Nothing new to add. -
Yes 0LlVlA, people often take criticism of a business, personal. But part of being a business person is separating the two.
Most people unfortunately jump into a business without knowing what they are getting into. It often sounds so easy to start but am sure you know even if the business is part-time, it can be a full-time job.
I am not trying to discourage people from starting a pole related business. On the contrary, I hope to help them. I welcome comments.
