Look into ACSM or NASM. I prefer the latter.

My sammich maker got her cert through ISSA last year.
Pretty good program and she is now a trainer for Anytime Fitness. She is finishing up her sports nutrition cert this week. Each course is a few hundred bucks and will take you a few weeks. She is working towards her master cert. |

I did the ISSA certification back when I was 19 and worked at Gold's Gym. Being a trainer is great - working in a chain gym is not.

Whats the end game? Right now, I am a stay at home dad with a BSME and my PE. My wife is a pharmacist and works different shifts throughout the week(common for their profession). Once all of the kids are I'm school, I would like to do something that is flexible and enjoyable. I am at the gym every weekday anyway helping people and more than a few have asked me if I am certified. I would want to be independent so I didn't have set hours. |

Working at Gold's Gym, I set my own hours and could change anything at any time. Basically, we kept a log with 2 weeks of estimated availability making sure we get our "regular" clients in the book at their normal times. When a new member would sign up for PT, the sales guys would look in the book and see who is available at the time the client wants. If you're available, you get the client. If not, you don't. We did have a required 30 min meeting each Monday. |

I got an ISSA cert just for fun a couple years ago...no offense to anyone here but it was a joke. Basically a weekend's worth of work.
I've heard better things about some of the above certs, and I'd look into a CSCS too. |
