Looking into becoming a personal trainer, what is the mostly accepted cert? I don't want to look like those idiots at 24 hr either

NASM or ACSM, CSCS if you have the credentials.

Go get a 4 year degree in kinesology or health fitness where you can take a few easy tests on the weekend to get multiple certifications during your undergrad education. Then you can earn a living in a health field while making some money on the side being a personal trainer.

ACSM, NSCA, CSCS cream of the crop! I have ACSM and a degree in Exercise Physiology. The test was still tough even with a degree!!

G.4.P aka Gay4Pay Certification is the best way to make money from the fitness industry, just ask Derek Anthony where to study.
