Hello!
I am looking to get my CPT and I am unsure of which agency to use.
Currently, ACSM AND NSCA are at the top of my list. Followed closely by ACE.
Who are you certified for? How hard was the exam? How prepared did you feel to enter the field? Where do you work now (gym, for yourself, etc.)? Who is your clientele?
I personally want to work with overweight/obese clientele and try to work more on the weight loss side of things than training athletes and what not...
Thanks!

All of those are good ones. The material is pretty much the same. I went with ISSA because I could go at my own pace and Do all the testing online. I did not have to pay for test at an off site location. I had already gotten alot of hands on exerince before getting my cert in a small gym. So I learned how to set up programs meal plans ect from that. I am indepenant so I dont work for a gym but I would always reccommend that if you have little to no experience in it. Book work is what it is but if you dont know how to get clients train clients and help them get an keep results you will not get far0
