hi everyone. :) How are you doing?

I am planning to enroll for the personal trainer certification course from ISSA with my friends. If multiple perople enroll together, we can each get $100 discount, and I thought that is a pretty good deal, so I was wonderfing if any of you would like to join us in enrolling and taking advantage of getting this discount.

ISSA also offers these courses:

Certified Fitness Trainer (CFT) (this is a personal trainer certification course.)

Specialist in Performance Nutrition (SPN)

Fitness Therapist (FT)

Specialist in Fitness for Older Adults (SFOA)

Specialist in Sports Conditioning (SSC)

Youth Fitness Trainer (YFT)

Endurance Fitness Trainer (EFT)

Specialist in Martial Arts Conditioning (SMAC)

Water Fitness Trainer (WFT)

Specialist in Adaptive Fitness (SAF)

Golf Fitness Trainer (GFT)

here is the link to their web site

http://www.issaonline.com/index.cfm?ref=%24%2B%22%5C%21P%20%20%20%0A

Please let me know if you are interested. Or if you have any questions, I can find that out for you or If you prefer, I can give you a number to ISSA and give you a name of the person who has been helping me. :)

And even if we don't get to start a course together... I wish you the best as a personal trainer wanna be and hope we can support each other. :)

here are some of the reasons

1. You can learn at home in your own pace with ISSA. Since I don't have a car to go to workshops, it works well for me.

2. ISSA's representives are very friedly and helpful.

3. ISSA will teach you how to start your own business.

4. ISSA will let you pay your tuition monthly instead of all in one. (if you want to enroll with me and get discount, you will have to make two separate payments though.)

5. ISSA will not charge for retakes of tests, textbooks, or free weekends seminers. There is no hidden fee. it's all included in tuition.

6. I called bunch of gyms to find out if they have any preferences when they hire a personal trainers, and ISSA was one of the names that came up.

7. It seemed like I can learn more from ISSA preogram taking my own time than going to 1 to 5 days workshops.

8. There is online and toll free technical support during and after certification.

9. I asked many people what they think is the best certification program and found out they have different opinions... Some people say so and so is the best, and another say that is the worst place you can get certified from. SO I just had to choose one.

10. They provide, at no charge, counseling and guidance on all the business aspects of personal training.

11. I have heard that they offer incredible class. The ISSA core curriculum for Personal Trainers covers the broadest range of useful topics including anatomy, physiology, kinesiology, nutrition, supplementation, personalized diet and exercise programing, flexibility techniques, and sports medicine for the fitness professional.

12. The information they offer is Each day, new articles appear on the ISSA website and every week, specific articles for fitness professionals appear on ISSA's Pro-Trainer website. Members also receive free access to hundreds of health, fitness, and nutrition articles, as well as Medline and five other medical databases. ISSA's text, Fitness: The Complete Guide, is the only one in the industry that is updated annually.


13. They have money back guarantee. I don't know if they will do this for us if we are getting discounts, but I can ask, if you'd like me to. :)
