The National Endurance and Sports Trainers Association (NESTA), the world's fastest growing fitness and wellness association, announces its new Personal Fitness Chef Certification Program.

According to NESTA'S founder, Dr. John Spencer Ellis, the program was created in direct response to the growth of the industry and to meet the demands of both professionals and non-professionals interested in learning more about personal fitness cooking.

A comprehensive program covering all aspects of fitness and nutrition, the program is offered via the Internet and no prerequisites are required to enroll. Course material covers everything from building and marketing a personal chef business, to selecting healthy foods, utensils, and supplies. The program includes conducting a cooking class for maximum profit, avoiding food cross contamination, adding NESTA's business model to an existing business, and complying with local laws.

NESTA's Personal Fitness Chef Certification Program features one of the top personal chefs in the country, Master Chef Marie. Master Chef Marie is a native of Paris, and holds a Culinary Arts Degree, is a Certified Fitness Nutritionist, Certified Professional Food Manager, Certified Sports Trainer and Educator, and Certified Tennis Instructor.

The program is also taught by Dr. Ellis who holds a bachelor's degree in business and in health science, as well as an MBA and a doctorate in education. Dr. Ellis has more than fifteen certifications and has extensively studied mind-body fitness and alternative health.

He is the author of "How Badly Do you Want It? - Your Ultimate Guide to Optimal Fitness," a contributor to "Power of Champions," and the Fitness Editor of OC Flair magazine. Dr. Ellis oversees operations at his facilities: Spencer Escape Fitness Resort, Fast PACE Fitness, and Spencer Wellness Center.
