Personal training

dj_diablo54 · 07-06-2005, 12:23 PM

Does any one here do personal training? I am in the process of signing up with ACE to become a certified trainer. I was just wondering if any one else has taken this certification or if there was a better certification to get.

I am a trainer. I have an NASM cert. NASM is good. ACE is good also and both a really recognized. The best you can get IMO and the opinion of many is NSCA CSCS. NSCA CPT is great too.

Thanks for the information P-funk. There is only like two personal trainers in my town and i figured instead of having people ask me what to do everyday, I could charge them and make a few extra bucks. How difficult are the test I am currently getting my MBA in business so i figure it will not be harder than that but i was just carious.

the tests aren't hard at all. just study for them and you will be fine.

Surely there are websites out there with more info, big P, could you hook us up with the URL?

**P-funk** · 07-06-2005, 01:49 PM

dj_diablo54 · 07-06-2005, 01:55 PM

P-funk thanks for all the info. ACE has a testing center about three hours from my house in LA so i am going to go ahead and sign up with them. Thanks for the help and I am sure i will be asking plenty of questions.

**P-funk** · 07-06-2005, 02:20 PM

NASM head quarters is right there in Sana Monica. I would rather go there and get a certification than ACE.

FishOrCutBait · 07-06-2005, 02:24 PM

Is it possible to get cert. for both?

dj_diablo54 · 07-06-2005, 02:26 PM

Well i am going to defiantly look into that one now. Glad i stopped in to get some good info.

FishOrCutBait · 07-06-2005, 02:27 PM

Oooo... I can try to certify online... and fail miserably, I assume.

MBA = Master of Business Administration

The only way to get an MBA is in business

True, but during your MBA you choose your subjects from a select pool of them so you can graduate with an MBA more specific for your field of current work, similar to a graduate diploma but with the business focus of the MBA - or you can just do a generic MBA before you even get a job which is next to useless for anything other than networking with all your other MBA pals
