ISSA Certification
by: Anonymous

Hi Henry,
I recently obtained my Certification through ISSA (CFT) and I must say that for an online exam it is very detailed and you must know the material in order to pass. The case studies and essays really involve a lot of research and subject knowledge. They even give you feedback on the case studies and essays.

What is great about ISSA is that they have a vast amount of resources that are available to you if you enroll in their program and after you obtain your certification. It was well worth the money for me.

The ISSA materials are much more detailed and comprehensive. A better overall cert compared to AFPA.

AFPA or ISSA
by: Randy N

I went with ISSA. The co-founders and teachers of their seminars are a whos-who in the fitness industry. Very comprehensive text book and seminar was awesome. We had several doctors and med students in our classes that said they were learning things they had not learned before.

Very good knowledge.

I will find out soon how well the certification is accepted by gyms as I will be applying for some positions and will see what they think of the certification. But ISSA is a great course.
