Is this Certification Authentic?

[Rocco32]

I'm looking for a site to take the exam to become certified as a personal trainer. I was wondering if this was an acceptable site to do it at. http://www.synergyfitnesspro.biz/about.asp

I don't care about the name, I have a gym offering to hire me as a PT if I get certified.

Why do you say junk LAM? I just need the certificate.

Prince, that is a great way to go. Just too expensive right now

Agreed! I'd go with ISSA or another thats well respected. This gym may hire you regardless, but why not get one that will be useful beyond this gym?

I dont know if it would be useful for you, but I can tell you from experience that ISSA can do a payment plan to make it easier.

Disclaimer: I get nothing from ISSA for providing this info.

you get what you pay for.

wouldn't you rather have a certification that is worth something?

maybe down the road you might want to PT somewhere else, there are only a few organizations that are nationally recognized for PT certification, and that one you posted is not one of them.

They're probably gonna kick me out for giving out that info.
