Is ISSA a good enough certificate?
Hey guys, I am currently overseas and have some down time at night. I found a place where I can get my Personal Trainer and a few other certificates for free. They will all be covered by the military. I was just wondering if anybody has ever heard of this or if it legit. Will it be good enough or even recognized. Also, I was wondering if I have time to take an aditional class, which one would the best choice. I was maybe looking at diet and nutrition or and advanced fitness. If anyone could help giude me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

There are a number of certifications to choose from. Im sure most have good merit. I personally with ISSA fitness nutrition because it is the only one recognized by the department of education; hence the edu point. So? Obviously DOE recognized distance learning and regular degrees/certifications? I dont understand playing up the distance learning point. Most of these certifications are just that. In the fitness/training world, my opinion its probably in the top 5 (probably not top 3). I am not, however, looking to be a full on trainer or something along those lines. I want to learn something (the studying has been intense) and prepare me for getting a dietician masters so that I can become a Registered Dietican. I am fully confident I made the right choice. I may get other certifications from NCAA recognized certifications. but they would be down the line.
