Personal Training Certification

FitLilAlien Posts: 36 Joined: 2002/04/26	2002/06/15, 04:08 PM I was just wondering how many on here are personal trainers and where you got your certification. Three years ago I did the independant study with NAHF (National Academy for Health & Fitness) and am currently working on my CFT with ISSA (International Sports Sciences Association) The NAHF's books were HORRIBLE!! Everything I learned I already knew from my mom being a bodybuilder for 13 years. I am really enjoying the ISSA, they are MUCH more in depth, I have to do learning experiences and write essays on those experiences, and I am also attending the seminar in mid-July. Just curious as to what everyone else thinks/has done. Thanks!

I'm so excited, I can't wait until the seminar! I think it is so great that you can test Independant AND at the seminar. Even if I pass at the seminar, I am still going to do the independant test for the case studies and learning experiences. haha, yeah..I'm psyched!
