ACE or NASM certification?

by Beth

I am trying to decide which PTcert would be better for a newbie. I'd like to pass the exam and get to work ASAP. I live on the east coast and I've narrowed it down to these two. Any feedback would be helpful. Thanks

ACE CPT exam is probably easier than NASM
by: Caroline Low

Hi Beth,

I just got certified through NASM and from talking to lots of people I heard that ACE is a lot easier than NASM to pass (so NASM is more highly regarded). I know trainers who were originally certified with ACE and now they are taking the NASM exam so they can get a stronger certification and better pay. It took me about 6 weeks to prep for the NASM exam, but it depends how fast you read and how easily the information sinks in!

Good luck!

Either will do. Every certification is pretty much the same thing from the beginning of the text to the end of the text. The only real difference, is what sounds good to the gym. Certain commercial gyms demand NASM because it sounds and looks good. NASM is not that much different from ACE etc.... All certs are just a piece of paper with your name on it
