I found this website that I've been combing through to help me decide which certification is best for me....

http://www.starting-a-personal-training-business.com/

I don't know if they have a hidden agenda, but it seems like a pretty unbiased site. There's a chart that compares all the different certifications. I would like to go the online route, and that would seem like the ISSA certification would be the best fit for me, but they are not NCAA accredited. SO I'm still at a "stuck" point. :)

    I am certifiec through ACE (American Council on Exercise)...... I purchased the study materials and took the test at a testing center in my area. I started my own Boot Camp and am loving it!! A majority of my 'trainer' friends are ACE certified.

    Good Luck!!
