    Nah, the truth on why being a Personal Trainer is a 'popular' career choice is due to the low entry requirements, and commitment to attain it. Personal Training only requires some high school diploma/pre-University education for entry to get certified, and Personal Trainers can get certified in a few weeks or even over a weekend, unlike Exercise Science Professionals who require minimally a Bachelor's degree which takes at least 3 to 4 years.
    Unfortunately, many Personal Trainers out there who aren't graduates of Exercise/Sports Science, know close to NOTHING on exercise science (they know how to only conduct exercise, but know nothing about the intricacies behind the science and physiology of exercise), yet think they know everything about exercise and fitness, make bad decisions in their practice, getting their clients injured, or not training the clients according to exercise principles and guidelines.🙄🙄🙄
    As for Exercise Physiologists, they don't majorly do "Lab work". What you've described is more for that of Sports Physiologists rather than Exercise Physiologists, as Sports Physiologists work more with sporting performance enhancement rather than community exercise interventions. EPs also work in healthcare settings delivering Exercise Rehabilitation interventions, usually alongside a multidisciplinary team of Doctors, Physiotherapists/Physical therapists, Occupational therapists, Dietitians, etc. Exercise Physiologists see patients from varied populations too, e.g. patients with musculoskeletal injuries(back pain, sports injuries, ACL reconstruction, etc); patients with metabolic conditions (diabetes, hypertension); patients with other chronic/debilitating conditions (cancer, kidney disease, stroke, Parkinson's, dementia, etc), where these populations required exercise interventions to get better, stronger or more functional.

    Respect the directness and honesty when discussing the different fields and it's not evident you have knowledge in the field which is reflected in the video. Great video and very informative🙏🏻🔥

    I love that you mentioned sport coaching. An advisor at a college told me to get a physical education degree just to be a sport coach and I knew this was off.

    I am confused about the differences of physiatry and exercise physiology specifically. HELP! I have a lot of physical and neurological issues and due to how broad the term exercise physiology is I can't tell the difference!

    Great video brotha. One question, I heard you say you need to be in a graduate program to become an exercise physiologists? Would that just be to become a registered clinical EP?

      You don’t need to be in a graduate program to be an exercise physiologist. Where I live they just require a bachelors degree but a masters is preferred. But good news is that masters degrees are only two semesters.

      It depends on your goals to be honest! If you want to move to the US you can convert your studies or get a personal training certification in the US. I think there's also ways of getting a US-recognized fitness trainer certification online (ACE for example).
