xoericajadexo Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 Do it throught nasm.org, they supposedly are the best and thats what most fitness places want. Thats what I'm going to get certified through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trueqwest Posted January 18 Report Share Posted January 18 NASM trainers get the highest payscales...almost every major gym corporation looks for it before they even look at your application/resume. Crunch, NYSC, Equinox, 24-Hr Fitness- I've got friends who are all trainers/managers in those companies and all agree NASM is first choice, followed by NSCA and ACSM.

trueqwest Posted February 13 Report Share Posted February 13 Afaa Ace AaaiNoDo not even consider Afaa, unless you're looking to just teach aerobics (and even then there are better choices.).Afaa doesn't hold any weight in most gym scenarios, and the content taugh is basic, at best. Stick to the certifications listed above; trust me, you'll be more knowlegeable and make more money wherever you go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
