2There are a multitude of specialization
certifications to receive that can benefit
specific populations such as pre- and
post-natal, seniors, and youths. However, its
best to become a certified personal trainer first
before receiving these other specialization
certifications. I have enclosed four prestigious
organizations that could be considered the best
certification for you to get depending again on
your specific goals and interests.
3National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM)
For over 20 years, NASM has certified thousands
of trainers, and has sustained pride for their
certified personal trainer (CPT) by requiring
each student to learn the very most on anatomy,
physiology, kinesiology, and human physical
movement based upon science.
