Personal Trainer Certification

[the_waterboy44]

Just curious as to if any one knows who is the best certification company to go through. I have narrowed it down to ACE or ISSA but any help would be appreciated. Thanks

ACE is actuaaly the lowest you can get i'm not sure if ISSA is higher recognized,i looked in to that once when i wanted to work at a gym and the ACE certification was the lowest and easiest to get..........

NASM
NSCA
ISSA
ACE

in order of quality IMO.

I already got the ISSA one, I'm like half done with it, its long as hell though, I would like to work for Bally's for awhile, I'm gonna give them a call and see what certificates they prefer, and I will work on getting a 2nd or 3rd certificate. I'm not learning anything that I don't already know, but if they want to see a piece of paper, I will have several to show them.

How do you go about taking the tests? What did you do to prepare yourself for the exam?
