So, I'm thinking about getting my personal trainer certification...and have been trying to do online research beforehand, but I want to know if anyone has any suggestions on who to get it through. Seems like there are a bunch of businesses that have course materials out there...
Personal trainer certification...
- Thread starter xtonymarsx
- Start date
I would personally suggest the American College of Sports Medicine. Their certification is VERY well respected. The test will be a bit harder and a bit more expensive but its well worth it in my opinion.
NSCA is another good organization. They have the CPT and a CSCS (certified strengthn & conditioning specialist)... John Berardi has his CSCS, which is well beyond 'personal trainer'. its more for training a pro team or an olympic athlete...
so I figure their CPT cert is pretty respected too
