Welcome to the official Home Fitness Professionals Association website. Although I have several fitness related credentials and look pretty good on paper, it is actually my real world experiences which gave me the competence and confidence to systematically place my theoretical knowledge base together and create The Home Fitness Professionals Association. Quite frankly, over the past decade I have seen many of my well-credentialed collegue friends struggle with their independent home fitness training businesses. Yes, many of them thought that they would leave the gym setting and immediately make a fortune training clients on their own. Unfortunately, many of these people were exercise science and fitness program development experts, but they lacked the business skills, marketing savy, and sales capability necessary to have a successful training business. Yes, over the years several of my well-credentialed and educated colleague friends became extremely frustrated with their fitness training careers and left the fitness industry in order to pursue other endeavors.    

I am amazed and obviously quite pleased with the amount of positive support The Home Fitness Professionals Association has received from several highly regarded individuals and businesses within the fitness industry. I truly believe currently active and aspiring independent trainers will find our certification, business building, and learning process to be something that will save them a great deal of time, money, and heartache. It will also allow them to focus on those necessary strategies that can make their independent training business much more successful, and ultimately help them have a rewarding and lucrative home fitness training career.

Best in Health.

Jeff Drock MS, CSCS Home Fitness Professionals Association, President and Founder

Attention Fitness Trainers
DO NOT leave the commercial gym setting in a feeble attempt to become a home fitness trainer prior to having both a specific business and marketing plan and at least reading chapter one in the Home Fitness Professionals Association/Home Fitness Training Professional Study Guide. We believe that any trainer considering leaving the gym setting to become an independent trainer will significantly benefit from reading chapter one. No fees! No catch! You do not even have to leave your email! Just click on chapter one, download, read it, and even print it if you want to! (Note: There is one little catch.....Reading chapter one may further spark your interest in obtaining a Home Fitness Professionals Association membership and certification.) After reading chapter one, make sure to read about our "MEMBERSHIP AND BENEFITS" at the bottom of this page.

Mission
The Home Fitness Professional’s Association is dedicated to improving the level of professionalism and standards for independent home fitness trainers. 

Vision
The Home Fitness Professionals association was founded with the intention of assisting independent home fitness trainers or those aspiring to become independent fitness trainers with their elevation to the status of “Home Fitness Professional.”  We at the Home Fitness Professionals Association are dedicated to helping well-intentioned and qualified training professionals by providing the best tactics, strategies, ammunition, and social networking opportunities for those who want to have a true career within the fitness industry.  

 

Thank you for visiting the Home Fitness Professionals Association (HFPA) website.  The Home Fitness Professionals Association is unlike any other fitness association in existence and it is not in competition with any other fitness certification organization. The Home Fitness Professionals Association is actually complimentary to the other fitness certification associations. Our online certification exam does not evaluate one’s knowledge of anatomy, physiology, exercise prescription, biomechanics, client training, or any other exercise science related topics. It is important to know the aforementioned exercise science topics in order to effectively train clients, but there is much more to running a successful independent home fitness training business than just knowing the latest and greatest client training methodology.  

Members of the Home Fitness Professionals Association, have access to the same state of the art strategies, tools and techniques that have been used by some of the most successful independent home fitness trainers in the industry. The success secrets of independent fitness trainers are finally revealed in the HFPA study guide. The study guide is a course textbook that is filled with detailed explanations and many real-life examples of how to most effectively, ethically, and legally run an independent fitness business, how to establish oneself as an expert fitness trainer, and how to most effectively apply the most powerful client obtainment methods (sales/marketing). The information contained within the study guide has been systematically created so that trainers can easily and effectively apply the information contained within to real world settings. We can state with assurance that those independent fitness trainers who actually apply the information they learn from the study guide have a significant advantage over trainers who do not. You will be provided with effective and easy to apply to the real world ammunition and we are actually forcing trainers to learn these invaluable methods. (One can only get certified if these are learned)  For your success, it is crucial to be aware that the only way to find true success from the study guide and from all of the tools that the Home Fitness Professionals Association provides you with is to actually use what you learn in the real world. No matter how effective these concepts are, sitting in a comfortable chair while channel surfing all day is not going to lead to a successful training career.
Yes, in order for success to take place, you must take action!!! 
The study guide is meant to save trainers time and can prevent aspiring independent fitness trainers from having to go through the many oftentimes mentally excruciating and financially draining trial and error processes in order to MAYBE find success. For years, it has been common knowledge amongst independent personal trainers that in order to become a successful trainer one either has to use the trial and error method or become mentored by a successful independent fitness trainer. We are on a mission to make sure that aspiring independent trainers are able to become successful. Members of the HFPA will also have access to inside information on how the top home fitness equipment experts in the industry choose the best and most appropriate home fitness equipment for their clients’ homes and portable equipment for themselves. 

Perhaps the best lesson learned from speaking with both successful and unsuccessful trainers was that one’s training competency and credentials are important, but they are generally not the most important success factor determinants for an independent training business.  We have come to the conclusion that a fitness trainer’s business can easily fail even if they posess advanced degrees, certifications, knowledge and are the most result-producing trainer who ever walked the face of the earth.  Independent trainers who are the most successful have enthusiastic and magnetic personalities, know how to market to and sell clients on their services, and know how to efficiently and effectively run their businesses.  Those are the topics that the Home Fitness Professionals Association focuses on.
