NASM or ACE Certification
What separates a NASM certification from others like ACE, other than price? It's seems with just taking a quick look, that ACE is half the price and the certifications are basically the same.

Nothing. They are all 'not college'.
To succeed at doing what you love, you often must do many things you hate.

ACE and NASM are basically equal, it sort of depends on where you are. When I lived in Minneapolis, ACE certification was usually done as a class through either the university or the community college, so most trainers had that. NASM is more popular generally in my experience, but it's not "better".
NSCA is the superior certification, but if you don't have an exercise science degree you can't get it.

you're right, my apologies. I was given misinformation by my boss, apparently. I am NASM certified and he is NSCA.Originally Posted by 401Delta

Both are good on paper. Most commercial gyms its an advantage if you work for a company .

ACE costs less because they are a non profit organisation.

Non-profit is a tax heaven, it doesn't actually mean they do not work for profit. It only means the employees can not benefit from company profits.Originally Posted by Camms1234

I just signed up with NASM today. I just got my group x certification last week, and regret not starting with my CPT... but I'm doing it now while all the knowledge is still in my head. So excited!

NASM is corrective exercise based, there's nothing wrong with ACE.
