As I have read in many articles and internet in looking at the NASM, ISSA personal training certifications. I have just found an article https://www.ptpioneer.com/how-to-bec...sonal-trainer/ related to me but am not fully agree with this guy. what you think about this link. Do you think the information is good or does you can suggest a much better page, article for reading and learning?Quote:

I haven't had my cert for over 10 years now, I will be getting it back again early next year. I will more than likely go NASM as it is the gold standard, and accepted by more gyms than the others. Some gyms will only accept NASM.
