Is anyone on /fit/ a personal trainer? I'm currently employed at a gym and looking to become one. I've been told the NASM is the most widely recognized certification. Any tips?
It's a good cert to have. It isn't a weekend thing where you pay and viola you're a trainer. It's based on exercise science and has an immense amount of information that can personally help you as well with your own exercise regiment.
It's not cheap but worth the price. Most of your clientele won't be 20 year old something male with no orthopedic issues. So NASM gives you a decent format to follow in order to get your client from a sack of useless shit to someone who can actually move well and see results
