Is thier schools that specialize in training people to become personal trainers?
NASM is definitly the more respected than ISSA. Personal Trainers can make really good dough if they know how to be salesman to build up clientele. I charged anywhere from 52-68/hour. But only got a little above $20 after the club took their cut.
In 6 months I made about $8-9,000 working as a full time student.
I'm not training now, but I will start my NASM cert in a couple of months so I can train over the summer.
Its the best job in the world! hands down

If you follow the path of Exercise Physiology/Exercise Science at a college or a University you will have a degree that can be used for personal training.

About the certifications, I have ISSA, NASM, and Baylor Sports and Medicine, I also have the one from 24hour fitness
If you want to learn about the kinesiology aspect of training ISSA ans NASM are good
If you want to learn about Nutrition 24hour fitness is great
If you want to learn how to make money and keep clients and be a good trainer in general BAYLOR is the best. They will teach you everything from how to lift, and treat people so you can make your money. The hing with Baylor they only travel the country every other, so you have to be lucky to catch that cert.
As far as how much money we make. I am 21, and a full time student, and this past year I grossed a little more than 30,000 dollars. I didn't bust my ass the way I would if I was not in school. School prohibits me to train at peak hours of availabiblity, so I have to sacrifice some good clients.
But, thats the scoop on Personal training
