I have been ISSA cert since 1995...back then it was a thick ass black and white book...Dr. Hatefield (sp) has brought this up so much. I like the new format and more detail.
ISSA is nice, but more "health clubs'" recognize ACE.
I think you best bet is a NSCA - CSCS. They are the only program that requires a trainer to have a BS. Now this doesn't have to be in exercise science or similar related field just a BS from an accredited college / university. I think that weeds out some of the fly by night trainers and a lot of people appreciate that. Beyond that, I think that are all relative.
