I am looking for some advise from some people who have taken a personal trainer course and are in the industry. I have been looking at taking one and there are a lot out there. What ones are good? What ones should I stay away from? I have been looking at the one the National Academy for Health and Fitness has. I just want to be sure I get into a good well rounded creditable course.

AFAA is a good one. Be sure to get a top accredited one, don't get one off a match book cover. If you do, some gyms if they don't like your affiliation, will/may not let you train clients there.(If you go into business for yourself).
