Personal training

[dj_diablo54]

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.

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.

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

 

[FishOrCutBait]

Is it possible to get cert. for both?

 

[dj_diablo54]

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

 

[FishOrCutBait]

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

I got mine through ISSA

 

[P-funk]

yes, you can have as many certs as you want.

Well i don't have it yet i have one more class to finish up along with my thesis to finish up. I guess I'm just ignorant cause i don't know what MBA stands for but I'm sure it is not a good thing

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

[Double D]

Well hopefully they got one or the other 2 years ago......

 

[gopro]

I have about 10 different certifications (some basic, some more specialized), and my favorite one was with the ISSA.

 

[Double D]

Believe it or not I am going to get a damned bosu cert. Right now I have the NASM, ACE, Bigger Faster Stronger, and now I got to get a BOSU one. The last 2 count as a secondary cert where I work.
