    Best personal trainer certification

    I've been researching and asking around for a few days now trying to narrow down what certification I'd like to get. The big ones I've seen are Cooper, ACE, ACSM, NSCA, and NASM. I'm leaning toward Cooper because its the only one that really markets the live lecture, and not the "At home study" bs. Price is a little higher than the others, so I really want to be convinced this is top notch. Any input or knowledge on this would be great, thanks bros.

    Depends on the area you live in to be honest with you. Check with your local gym's and se what the majority have.

    Here most have NASM hence the reason i am going with NASM.

    ISSA is pretty well recognized around here. I'd personal like to add Charles Poliquin's strength training course to my resume. It's look like it would be good.
