any bros out there have good advice on which certification to persue to be a full fledged trainer?

ACE? ASCM? FISAF?
 
ACSM is very clinical,meaning it goes more into the medical and rehabilitation side of pt but a solid certification.
ACE and NCSM are well known and probably most recommended and rounded.Personally I like NCSM.

I am a FM/PT for a large commercial gym and those 3 certs are most sot after.
 
yes Jamie you are right when it comes to personal training you have to not only be a good trainer but be a good sales person.Ppl are looking for not only a trainer but a buddy/friend/mentor lots of other things besides just someone thats going to tell them how many reps and Q them on form.
To alot of ppl trainers are very intimidating so you have to learn to deal with all types of ppl.
 
dear bros thks for the info so far, juz wanna check, anyone heard of IFPA, IFPA – Accredited Personal Trainer Certification – Sports Nutrition – Sports Medicine – Youth Fitness – Sports Conditioning

apologies if i m not allowed to show the site. just that i was introduced to this course by a frd but it's pretty costly. when i did some research, the syllabus they covered were pretty extensive but they break the whole thing into several levels... pretty costly....

so wanna check if anyone here heard of em??
