This sort of thing just disgusts me. It is shady and deceitful. Sure, I'm a certified sports nutritionist now too, but you won't see me bragging about it (except in jest ) because this is obviously not legit. And I am going to be really wary next time I read/hear that someone is certified. Certified by whom? It is really too bad that there is stuff like this available. On another note, can anyone tell me which certifications are respectable? I have been interested in this for a while now. I expect to study, work hard, and demonstrate proficiency in order to become certified - not just pass an open book online test that you can take as many times as you like, oh yeah, and pay a bunch of money! About the chocolate - I thought it was an essential nutrient? Shelley |

Getting off the 'certification' issue for a moment... what kind of fitness training does Wendilee have? Is there a fitness supervisor on the videos? (BBF'ers, don't get mad...it's just a question. (actually, it's two)) BTW, Congratulations, Crystal!!!! You've done us all very proud!!

Wendilee's webpage now says:
Certified Instructor . . . Kickboxing Ballroom Dancing Nutrition Lifestyle Management Sports Yoga Pre/Post Natal Children’s Fitness Children's Fitness and Pre/Post Natal are very specific certifications. I don't see how she could have these when she just got her PT and SN certifications by the online quickie method. Usually you need a base certification with an agency before you can expand to specialities like seniors, children. She is also claiming 6 years experience in personal training with over 200 clients. I wonder if that is counting everyone who bought a DVD or uses her online personal training. I have no idea about Gymratt's questions. A BBF person would be better able to anser that question. Deb |

Just thought I'd say that I also passed the "sports nutritionist" test, took me about 10 minutes. I got an 88% , but won't pay the money to get the certificate. The only reasons to get the certificate are either just for fun, or to deceive people.
