With such a topic so broad we truly try to cover the basics from all angles in this group. Nothing too big or too small. Nutrition is as significant if not more as exercise is to reaching your goals so learn all you can.

The company in which I work for has asked me to become a certified personal/fitness trainer, and they are covering the tab, up to about 750 bucks. I am torn between ACE, ISSA, or NASM. Does anyone have any opinions on which one carries a better reputation, which has better training materials, etc.

I also think one of are mod's went through issa. you could probaly search it though im sure this has been brought up before. If you decide to go through issa you should put me as your refferer ill get 25 big ones :big_smile: -------------- -Dustin Never let todays disappointments over shadow tomorrows Dreams

I was heavily leaning towards NASM, until I was told that they are now owned by the 24 Hour Fitness chain and there training program is now geared toward one model of training, as opposed to some others that are geared towards a few different models to fit each client. My tuition game out to be 525.00 They are offering 100.00 dollars off for the month of May to celebrate there 20th anniversary.
