    What certification are you?

    For any personal trainers out there, what certification are you?

    I went for ACE last Febuary, missed it by 8 points but going for ISSA this time around.

    ACE was alot more difficult than expected. alot more to do with human physiology and kinesiology more than training and protocols but it wsa my first try, I guess its not uncommon for 2 or maybe 3 tries so I dont feel too bad

    I'd really like to do the Charles Poliquin. Looks like an excellent course and one that would look good on a resume.

    The two most widely accepted are ACSM and NSCA CSCS certification. Have to have a bachelors in a related field before you can take the test however.
