ACSM or NSCA if you have your Bachelors degree in an Exercise Physiology related field...
If not then go with ACE, or maybe ISSA-2013 USAPL Michigan State Championships 198lb Raw Mens Open, 1st Place (1217 total)

IMHO, it really depends on where you are going to get a job. You need to do some research about where you want to work and which certs they prefer. i.e. if you have an ACE certification and the place you are going to work at requires NSCA.FEAR THE FROG
Originally posted by John BrozIf your family was captured and you were told you needed to put 100 pounds onto your max squat within two months or your family would be executed, would you squat once per week? Something tells me that you'd start squatting every day. Other countries have this mindset. America does not.

In my experience every job I've ever interviewed or applied for (and there have been plenty) accepts NSCA and ACSM.-2013 USAPL Michigan State Championships 198lb Raw Mens Open, 1st Place (1217 total)

At the golds i trained at they preferred NSCA and NASM, however didnt treat us any differently than those who had ACE or ISSA etc. So figure out what will actually make a difference to them, it may not be worth the extra time and money to go with NSCA or NASM.21 yrs. old
