TweetIm NFPT But would like ACE TBH. If anything just to see the difference of there programs. Each one seems like they are a bit different. Most all my trainers are NFPT also. But one of my buddy's is ACE. He was before I got my cert. I have the NFPT manual if anyone wants to study for it.

Tweeti agree ace and issa are the way to go. most of my boys are one or the other. the guys on base and that work with my unit have to b ace

TweetI have actually been in contact with ISSA a few times the last weeks myself,
There is a course by ICS Canada that is VERY VERY in depth, and I studied the ISSA break down as well...both very competitive.

The ISSA course is 600.00 roughly, and the Canadian course is 1500.00

I just paid the ICS course myself, and have the first 7 lessons in my PC already.

I have started it already and cannot wait to continue it.

Hey bro you know what is tearing me apart.
I went to university to become a Chief Financial Officer. (C.F.O)
Worked the scene for almost 8 years, but at the age of 30 I discovered that my passion is cooking.
Last year I went back to school, and spent another 10k in it, to become a chef.
I have been cooking for 5 years, owned a bistro the last 3 years.

But after doing the O.P.A. show this past November, I really want to follow and get thIS BIG urge out of my system.
I see 90% of personal trainers are skinny rags, that look like they never lifted 10 pounds in their life.
MOST people at our gyms, look up and for guys like US....WE know what is going on with the Iron and in the kitchen.

I make around 70k yearly, and have a big overhead, but lots of tied up equity in the restaurant.

Once I get certified I am def willing to explore a 3rd and final career change.

My outlook is very positive for when it comes to Personal training.
