Exercise physiologists have a minimum of four years study in exercise science and physiology, holding degrees in the field. They are qualified to work with a wider range of individuals, including those with medical conditions. Personal trainers typically have certification in fitness training and work primarily with individuals looking to improve their general fitness and reach specific fitness goals.
