Any fitness instructors?

I'm seriously considering becoming a group fitness instructor. I taught step aerobics many years ago, though I wasn't certified at the time. I want to do it again and perhaps do Zumba as well. The gym I attend now, wants me to be certified with either ACE, AFAA or NETO. Does anyone have anything good or bad to say about any of them? Do you find it's worth it to teach?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    I love teaching my classes! I'm AFAA group certified & NCSF cert as a personal trainer. AFAA's testing is a written & practical....I was a bundle of nerves but being in that room & watching all of the different teaching styles is pretty cool :)

    Good luck with whoever you go with!

    When I was certified it was an AFAA certification. I thought the training and the test were very good. I've heard good things about ACE personal trainer certifications as well.
