good suggestion.DocJ said:Get your CSCS from the NSCA.
This is a good point. If you ever want to be strength coach for a sports team or something though, getting your CSCS would be good idea. If you just want to be a PT at a health club or you're own private business just get something simple.pullinbig said:my suggestion is get the cheapest one your gym will accept. most certs are a joke and just a money racket. im certified and have been for years. however what i learned in class and books isnt useful in my training. my gym requires a cert though so i got one.

absolutely. most of the certs are a joke. and like pullin', i got mine just to satisfy the gym i worked at. but by far ,i've learned way more without it. but to answer your question, ace is probably the most cost effective and easist to study for.pullinbig said:my suggestion is get the cheapest one your gym will accept. most certs are a joke and just a money racket. im certified and have been for years. however what i learned in class and books isnt useful in my training. my gym requires a cert though so i got one.
