Anybody have their certification/heard things about ISSA Personal Training certification? Would be interested to know. Thinking about going into the field

I was thinking about expanding my knowledge as well and read a book on Amazon called the Personal Trainer manual. It said

ISSA is popular for many high end fitness centers like Gold's Gym, Lifetime Fitness, Bally's and Equinox.

ACE - top choice for those who want to work with highly diversified clientele and recommended for beginners

ACSM - hospitals, wellness centers

NASM -focuses on training people who are already physically active as well as competitive athletes

NSCA - recommended for those who eventually would like to train sports teams

I took a look at the trainers wall at my YMCA and checked out their certifications. Most seemed to be NASM with some ISSA. Maybe you can go take a look at a place that you can envision yourself working at.
