Did my research and found out that not only is ISSA a reputable certification, they also are willing to help you succeed after you get certified.
Joseph Alexander Harris
I hold two certifications with the International Sports Sciences Association and I couldn't be more pleased with the support I've received.
Luke Kujawski
The knowledge that I received has been extremely helpful in my own weight loss journey where I have lost more than 100 lbs.
Antione Robinson
Only 2 months after being certified I got hired as a Fitness Coordinator and started making my income as a fitness trainer for Marines and Civilians. The knowledge I have gained by getting certified through ISSA has laid a solid foundation for further certification I got afterward.

ISSA is the best place to get your personal training certification. The amount of detail put into the workbook and textbooks is amazing and I can honestly say I was blown away.

When it came to being a trainer there wasn't any sugar coating. It was laid out for what it is in the real world in what is to be expected of you as an ISSA professional.
