I seen some real dandy's with the CSCS cert. personal training at my gym, they have 70 year olds who never trained with weights in their lives doing power cleans, squats where you attempt to jump up at the end of the movement, and a bunch of other horseshit, most people don't need to do. Of course they all went through the same program with the same instructors locally. The CSCS cert is only as good as the person it's awarded to, like any other cert.

Good point never looked at it that way

My guess is that with your knowledge of kinesiology, anatomy, as well as everything else you've mentioned would certainly give you the knowledge to pass any training cert you wanted.
And I'd rather see someone like you, older, experienced, and in great shape, who understands the limitations age involuntarily puts on us be a trainer than a twenty something year old kid who thinks training is cookie cutter rather than unique to the individual

Are you still looking for work? I thought you had a decent job when you broke your ankle.
