Personal Training Certification 101 Honors One of the Best Personal Trainer Innovators, Jack LaLanne

Feb. 28, 2012 - PRLog -- Personal Training Certification 101 has recently added a new section to its site honoring fitness guru Jack LaLanne. LaLanne was an individual who left an indelible mark on the world of exercise.  He invented several workout machines to tone and build muscle (the designs of which are still common in gyms today) and broke several world records throughout the course of his life.  He was one of the very first people in the country to emphasize the importance of exercise and the beneficial health effects it has on the body.

The timing of page’s formation comes roughly one year after LaLanne's passing in January of 2011.  The site typically is used as a resource for people who are looking for information on how to become a personal trainer, such as a popular feature on identifying the best personal trainer certification at http://personaltrainingcertification101.com/2011/03/02/best-personal-trainer-certification-comparison.html.

However, the section in memory of LaLanne is a little different.  LaLanne’s dedication page will inspire personal trainers because of his numerous and timeless contributions to the fitness world. The page can be accessed from the site's homepage at http://personaltrainingcertification101.com.

"The page dedicated to Jack LaLanne strays from what we usually do at Personal Training Certification 101, but we believe this can be an inspiration to any trainer looking to not only have an impact in someone’s life, but to have an impact on the world as well," explained Desmond Baldwin, owner of PersonalTrainingCertification101.com. "Personal trainers can learn from LaLanne’s truly pioneering spirit and can carry on his legacy of health and fitness by keeping an open mind and always looking for solutions."  For instance, a personal trainer following in the mold of LaLanne might try to improve upon the existing design of a machine or workout program, and do so with confidence."

Jack LaLanne was a forward thinker.  In understanding the physical importance of exercise, he took it upon himself to open his own gym in Oakland, California.  This gym was the first public physical fitness center in the United States.  He even invented some of the machines (mainly pulley system machines and leg-lift machines at the time) that were used by the gym’s patrons.  To this day, mechanical descendants of LaLanne’s machines are used in gyms all over the world.

The message put forth by LaLanne is that if trainers and others believe in themselves, they can accomplish great things. If you are interested in becoming a certified personal trainer and helping others achieve their goals, visit http://personaltrainingcertification101.com.
