EndymionSpilos asked:


I have a BA in Psychology, and I am thinking about getting certified as a personal trainer while I get ready to start chiropractic school. Can someone tell me which is the best certification? I am interested in working with a variety of positions, from weight training with males and weight loss with woman to rehabilitation.

   I have a cert. through A.C.E. and ISSA. They are both widely recognized. However with your college background and what line of practice you are looking to go into you may want to go with ACSM or NASM. Check this one out. You need a prior certification for NASM or a college degree. This one might be perfect for you.

   The top picks for personal fitness certifications are:

   1) NSCA-National Strength and Conditioning Association

   2) ACSM-American Council of Sports Medicine

   3) ACE- American Council on Exercise (also offers the only Lifestyle & Weight Management Consultant Certification recognized by the NCCA )

   God bless you in your future career choice
