I’ve already got a head start from tons of reading, personal experience and helping my friend lose 35 pounds…now I want to get certified to be ‘legit’. Where do I start? What is the best Association to join? Who is the leader in Fitness Trainer Certification?
Isa.com, http://www.ncsf.org they all say the are the leaders in personal training. Best bet is if you want to work at a local gym call them and ask them what certifications they accept. I did Issa.com they were pretty good and the book u get has alot of info in it.
Requirements for 24 hour fitness Personal Trainer?
Can an individual become a 24 hour fitness personal trainer with just a CPR Certification and NO outside personal training certification?
I think their standards vary depending on where you are. I joined a clinic in California and the personal trainer that they pressured me to sign up with had very little training himself and did very little for me. I suspect that he was not certified.
