Looking to switch up my career and get certified as a personal trainer, but dang, NASM is pricey and honestly a little overwhelming for a beginner like me. I’ve heard some mixed reviews too, which makes me pause. I’m a recent college grad (don’t have a ton of cash) and I want something legit but maybe a bit less intimidating and less of a wallet-buster. I’ve seen ISSA and ACE pop up but I don’t really know the pros and cons, or if there’s something more hands-on or community-focused out there. Would love any stories, advice, or recs people might have!
