Wow.This guy is so informative. Breaks it down in detail, but simple. Very excellent resource.

[chrisv]

Going to try this out this would be a great way to grow with yourself and then help others!

I'm glad I don't have to memorize, but to be honest, it's only the "lysdexia" causing things/highly similar words+concepts that make me miss questions even without a book. So that's nice.

Oh the "master" package wasn't a "little" more for me, it was a LOT! :(

Just joined ISSA for the personal training certification. Looking forward to completing the program.

[mukiregunathan]

Thank you so much for this video. I learned a lot and you cleared all my doubts.

[AddyFatiMarwiAusi]

I got ISSA CPT but it's not recognized here in Australia, it's extremely hard to get a job in any gyms or health clubs!

If you are living in Australia rethink 😉

What do you know about the ISSA exercise science bachelors degree? There are many reviews of their certs but nothing about their degrees. My main concern is transferrability to other institutions.

[mehulsinghyadav]

Please review their new Ncca accredited strength and conditioning certification

[cmad]

It is now accredited by the NCCA for the record

My fitness certifcate level 2 was still using textbooks and paper. Dont get me wrong its easy and useful to use but i was hoping to use ipads or handheld devices to record and write our excercise programs.
On another note what if you had a Karen for a client? did you ever had such a difficult client?

[mejhon]

You don't need a trainer certificate or a nutrition certificate, any state ask for a certificate, just the companies that you going to work ask for a certificate, but you can have your own busineess.

[mundofutbol]

Can u provide the ISSA oficial web page?

[yaman]

How long does it take to get your cert after passing all the exam?

[mollyskerbetz]

Just seeing this video 2 years later...can you change your specialization if you learn that your original specialization wasn't the right fit for you?

[akhilrayal]

For a part-time gym trainer is ISSA enough for an international student from India

[ericmuro]

I payed 1k for just the certified & strength and conditioning

[kaylenedawnbuteaufitnessbu]

As a seasoned fitness professional of 35 years, I've grown to despise all of the fitness certs. In 93, I got ACSM, because that was the gold standard, but over the years, the name of that cert has changed 6 times, and there is no clear reason why other than money. We pay for the CEU's to keep the certification current, and then we have to pay the cert agency each 2 to 4-year period on top of the classes for the CEU's. I just had Plus One tell me that I should get ACSM's personal training cert. WTF and on top of all that, I've got my MS from Springfield College. I appreciate your enthusiasm and knowledge, but this is all a racket. I would bet people at a bar bought drinks for the powers to be of companies and told them to require their cert, and of course, there is no clear proof of studies testing fitness professional's knowledge to guarantee that any specific cert has more knowledgable people. I also sometimes wonder whether companies are advertising jobs that do not exist but require certs, to promote that cert. I did use my health and fitness knowledge to stop my mother with mild dementia from forgetting me and I'm almost finished with my graphic memoir about it.

I’m signing up soon did I hear him say the exam is open book

[gabzsy]

Hey man, I'm living in Brazil and I already own a nutrition degree that I completed here. I'm interested in applying for a work at a ClubMed resort and then perhaps move back to Italy where I'm originally from. Would you recommend this course for me since I'm already graduated in Nutrition? Also, do you think the good folks at ClubMed will accept and aknowledge this certification for a job in a resort? Thank you so much.

[benicejimenez]

So what happen after you pass the final exam? I just pass but I don’t see my certificate 😢
