Hey Jim, I’ve got a question… which Personal Training certification did you choose to go with and why? I feel like I’m getting nudged in that direction and am just starting to gather information as I continue to pray.
By: Jen on October 9, 2008

Hi Jen – I chose ISSA as it was nicely geared towards my goals to support natural bodybuilding. I’d recommend it unless you are wanting to be in a health club setting – there they may want you to have a more ‘fitness’ oriented certification like ACE.
By: Jim Goodman on October 11, 2008

ACE sounds pretty basic. I think I’d like to go beyond that. I’ve read a couple things like ISSA is too expensive for what you get back. Would you say that is true? Did you look into NSCA and ACSM?
By: Jenifer on October 16, 2008
at 5:46 pm
Hi Jen – I don’t agree ACE is one of the more widely accepted certs among health clubs – definitely ACSM is the cream of the crop but the last time I looked it required a bachelors degree.
ISSA is only expensive upfront, but when all is said and done it is about the same as most certification programs when you include the training material + exam cost. ISSA includes the exam cost and you can take it online from home which I liked.
On the question of what you get back – that is subjective to goals and needs and ISSA is a little light on that although I did get a call from the PT company that Gold’s hired to submit a resume to run Lincoln. They called me because I was on the ISSA CFT list for Lincoln, NE.

All this info. is helpful, thank you! I’d like to make a decision soon and get started studying for it. I think somethings going to happen with Fit 4 Life very soon. Looks like we might be moving to the Chicago area, Brandy first, kids and I at the end of the school year. Not sure what’s gonna happen here, big changes coming, that’s all I know.
