Does anyone know about the fitness certification ISSA? “International sports science association”?
I’m still researching fitness certifications, and I just came across the ISSA “International sports science association”
And was wondering does anyone know of them and the credibility of the certification they offer.
Thank you:)
It is just okay, but the ISSA, AFAA and the AFPA are not looked out with much credibility in the fitness arena…They have good content, but fitness pro’s haven’t really accepted them as they are online (used to be coorespondance) courses…fitness pro’s only give credibility to “hand’s on training” which is something that you need to consider…
If you really want the credibility factor and you have not yet graduated from college, get the NASM-CPT from the National Academy of Sports Medicine…it is the main one accepted by the major fitness centers such as Gold’s, 24hour Fitness and others…it costs a little more, but it is well worth it if you feel you need to be certified. The other accepted is the NCSA-CPT which is preferable but harder to get.
Once you have your Bachelors Degree, you will want to get your CSCS…It is the most difficult to get and the most respected certification out there…
I looked into the certification process several years ago to see if it would benenfit my business…the only ones that actually have benefit are the NASM, NCSA and the CSCS.

My husband works a lot and is much older (I have two stepsons 27 and 18, plus a 6 yr old step-grandson in addition to my 2 year old son) and he rarely has daylight time during the week to spend doing “boy stuff” with my son, like teaching him to catch balls, swing a bat, shoot hoops, etc. I, on the other hand, have most of my day free to spend with my son.
Silly, I know, seeing as my son is only 2, but he’s very athletically advanced and has great hand-eye coordination. I was a runner when I was younger but never played team sports. I would hate to teach him a wrong grip or bad methods, so I would love to see an early sports-themed workshop for mommies (or non-athletic dads, too) in my position–you know, us future soccer and T-Ball Moms? My son got a T-ball set for Christmas this year and though I don’t really know the game well, I’ve already taught him how to set it up, swing and hit–and he’s actually pretty good at it and gets so excited every time he gets a hit! He can already catch a soft ball with a mitt too.
We do a lot of the things you listed already–I live in the city so there are lots of those types of activities for free already at the library, Mommie and Me clubs, my gym, and playgroup.

fitness nutrition certification

fitness and massage therapy?
Is good to get certified with massage therapy to aid fitness and nutrition certifications. if so why? how can I use both to help me?
Yes, b/c all fields can complement each other. I’m a massage therapist but have certificates in coaching and a bachelor of health science degree.
You can double your business and have a so called one stop shop for your clients.
