I’m from Canada, would love the certification to complement my group fitness business. Will be working primarily with the general population but looking for certification with some depth to it, more than the basics.

Hi Jeanette,

you can’t go wrong with either option. They are both NCCA-accredited. What I like personally about NASM is that their additional specialties all form a coherent unit as they are all based on a specific training model called OPT.

Both are Internationally recognized respectable organizations. Both are worldwide NCCA- accredited. It is a matter of personal choice. You can go with just one specific organization or diversify and get other specialized certifications from either one. Both certification programs are GREAT!

As answered both are great. I know in the States some gym chains prefer one over the other, so if you are planning to work in a specific gym you might want to find out if they have a preference.

Both are very good certifications. I know many trainers back in Greece who are ACE certified and they have been very happy with it. Either way you go it will be a great experience for you and a great addition to your resume.
