i would look into classes at a local community or tech college, you might find something there. there are so many crappy PT's out there its good to see someone who actually has a clue going into that field...good luck

For the complete novice going into it, 24hr fitness offers a good starting ground. They will train you with thier own program (It's ok, but nowhere near some of the others) but they will also pay a good portion of continuing education while giving you a paycheck and bringing you customers as well. If I was to just walk into it, I would probobly work at 24hour fitness just to get my certs and then move up from there.
