Certification for CPT and Group Fitness.

Hi Stacy,

There are many to choose from and each is its own certifying agency with different costs and schedules for testing (not sure what you meant by class schedules). Here is an article to help you navigate your way through the certifying agencies for personal training. I would definitely consider getting an NCCA accredited cert. for both.

Hello Stacy Vote Hinke,
Good for you; I love my career. You may want to consider who is respected in your area as to who trains you. I received helpful input from the gym owners.
Take care,
Natalie aka NAPS 2 B Fit.

ACE is more about the Industry per se
ACSM is more about the science of the industry

Both are great
