Well i have taken the CSCS was extremly hard waiting for the resalts. I plan on takieng the PES as soon I'm aproved. The reason I have chose to take those two is because most high paying fitness jobs require one or the other from what i have seen.

The best one is the one that your future employer deems as acceptable.

One business may think "X" is great, while others may think "Y" is acceptable.

Find out where you wish to obtain employment and begin there first.

Or you could start your own biz and not have to report to others and abide by their guidelines. I hate that shit.........
