description of certification offerd

Could you please clarify? Do you want to find a list of certifications for personal trainers, or do you want some guidelines on which certifications are generally considered as top notch? Do you want an idea of what sort of training or testing is required for a certification?

Hi Theodore,

Here are some of the organizations you should look into:

NSCA
ACE
ACSM
NASM

You could go with others as well, but I would research these ones first. Each one has a variety of certifications to offer, depending the type of clients you are looking to work with.

I hope this helps.

Best,
Harris

Hello Theodore Lockwood,

Along with the other answers, you will need a CPR/AED certification to do personal training; First Aid is also beneficial.
Please feel free to ask any other questions you may have.
Take care,
Natalie.
