| Re: how to become a certified personal trainer?
For most certifications, you don't need any kind of degree. You'll probably want to look into the different certs available, but some are more respected "in the field" than others. ACE is pretty common, but is kind of "entry level" and most trainers and gyms know that, although the clients probably don't.
NASM is very focused on structural and muscular balance for human performance.
ISSA is gaining popularity and has a lot of "specialty" certs you can follow up with.
NSCA is focused on strength and conditioning and has specialties as well.
ACSM is very highly regarded generally, but you do need a degree for that one.
The cost, maintenance, testing, coursework, and time commitment are different for each so you will want to do a little more research on your own to see which fits your needs best.
Hope that helps.
