American Sport and Fitness association, is this a good place to get a certification?
Hi Ebony,
I had never heard of them and checked the web site. They call it themselves a good place for portfolio expansion. I was curious about their test that you need to pass in order to receive any of their certifications. So I looked at the questions placed for their highest level as master personal trainer and they struck me as trivial if I compare it to the questions that you have to answer for the NASM CPT. In addition, that one requires that you go to a testing location and actually KNOW that stuff.
I hate to slam any organization but this one strikes me merely as a money maker with little regard whether their students actually know anything or not. You will probably get a good looking certificate.
Personally, after having seen this web site, I would not hire a trainer that presented with this certification alone.
