If you can make side cash as a personal trainer, go for it. Cant hurt. Plus, most gym you train at will let you work out for free.

Back in the day, I remember Coach telling me ACE was a good certification program.

Not ACE (they're good as well) but NASM or NSCA. Specialty certs are becoming more recognized as well if you're coaching in High Schools or college. General pop could careless about what you know or don't know, thats why we work primarily with athletes.

ACE is ok....little on the easy side.  There's a bunch of them out there but I feel that the key to personal training is that the person is educated, insured, and motivated to provide quality service to their customers

That's the mailing address however here's something for you here......



Here's the facility



Here's my Diploma




Here's the Graduation






Ashworth College is a low cost solution for people who cannot afford to go to a public university or don't want to spend 6 figures so that anyone can utilize to fulfil their careers in life.  I still owe 19k on my first degree and I didn't need anymore debt which is why I chose Ashworth

Must have been a jam packed 2 days..

The only reason why I keep my NASM-PES and NSCA paid is for the sole purpose the coaches I work with want it. Other than that they are pretty much useless in the general population. However, our specialty certs carry a lot of weight in our private business. FMS, NKT, USAW have more use than a PT cert even a CSCS.
