Eventualyl once I am in better shape I want to help people by training them, so I want to become a personal trainer. I feel I have a lot to learn and am really excited about doing it. I want to get my personal training certification this summer. I know 1 or 2 people that have it already. I live in Pittsburgh.

Question: Who should I get my certification through? There are several sites/companies to do so. NASM, ACE, AFAA...?

So which is best? Prefer that people with certs or people going for certs answer...

    I think NASM advertises you get your money back if you don't get hired 90 days after graduating.

    I'm curious about this, too. I've been thinking about personal training. Just not sure if it would be a good move financially.
