The following is a list of the most reputable certification organizations in the personal
training industry. You can use the link below to view the organization’s homepage and gain
further information about the certification organization a personal trainer is certified through.
Please note that many trainers have more than one certification which is not a requirement to be
considered a highly qualified personal trainer. Each certification organization covers the basics
and then slightly focuses on a few of the vast aspects of fitness. A personal trainer with a
few or more certifications has a more well-rounded knowledge of the fitness field. Remember that
regardless of the number of certifications, a personal trainer’s knowledge is largely due to
their commitment to learning on a daily basis any new and pertinent information that may be new
in the health and fitness field.
