from what I see training at my gym, it doesn't take much.............11Hiram said:
hey....I am certified by American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) and it makes you a shoe in to get a job in a gym. You have to have a college degree to take the test though. When I was trying to get a job I would call and tell them I had that cert and they loved it. It just shows you have alot of knowledge about fitness. It kinda sucks though cause I have taken roids before and I am getting ready to take them again and I have to lie to all these people....haha. Anyway, another good one is CSCS or ACE.
Since when is ACE respected by anyone that knows anything about well....anything! ACE is one of the biggest jokes, but it is the most recognizable name.
Like BS said ,ACE really blows! ASCM is great for technical info, kinesiology,etc, but there's a few of those dumbasses in the clubs where I work. ASCM may look great and give you a great shot at getting hired, but these boys don't know much about training and acheiving real-world results. Their clients are the proof.

I workout at 24 Hour Fitness and the problem I have with gaining employment as a Personal Trainer is that they expect you to sell yourself to potential clients at the gym. I think that's great if you actually do that, but they expect you to do it.
Instead of a reward they make it a requirement so why bother in my opinion. If I wanted a sales job I would go sell Avon. Well that would be kinda gay so I would sell something else

For NCSA - CSCS "To be eligible to take the exam, you must hold a BA/BS degree, be enrolled as a college senior at an accredited college or university, or hold a degree in chiropractic medicine, and be CPR certified."
I am none of these - I'll be a junior in college - Don't know if my school is accredited. I took their pre-test and only missed 2 questions. I'm confident I could pass the test. Is there anyway around these requirements that you guys know of? - or should i just wait a year or two?

What about ISSA? what are their requirements? How long is the course?
Skip the CSCS for now, as you wont qualify to even sit for the exam. Just get the NSCA CPT certification. Its still one of the best out there and you dont need a degree in order to get it.MACHI said:
