Personal Trainers - recommend your certification

I know there are bunch of fitness pro's on this board do I thought I'd ask here...I already have one cert. but it's not as widely accepted as I'd like. Anyone have one that was easy to pass (so I can do it soon) or that has good CEU's?

Re: Personal Trainers - recommend your certification

I don't know if they are easy to pass but when I get my PT cert, I'm either doing NSCA, NASM or ACE.

I was doing ACE 6 years back and got sidetracked. Still have all the materials (probably new editions out now) When I get back to doing it I'll be going through NASM.

Re: Personal Trainers - recommend your certification

I was ACE certified years ago. It was easy to get even though it has a decent reputation. I let the certification lapse when I didn't complete continuing ed classes. I had no reason to keep it but I wish I had anyway.
