Training Certification

[Moto Ace]

My son is looking into personal training for our local gym, they have suggested ACE, NASM and ISSA. Does anyone have any input on any of these, any suggestions, recommendations?

Thanks

ISSA is not bad. NESTA is good too, as they have proctored exams. However, if your son is only going to be making "x" dollars an hour for half hour training sessions, I would go with the least costly certification the gym will accept. If he decides that training is something he would really like to do for a living, then he can always pick up more (better) certifications later on.

ACE sucks Both NASM and ISSA are good.
