NHE Certification is a nationally accepted personal trainer certification but the losers at Fitness Together had never heard of it before and so they won't give me a job. The owner is certified by ACE and she had the nerve to tell me that she wasnt familiar with my nhe certification??!?!?!? ACE is not even close to NHE Certification and everyone knows it. You can buy two ACE certifications for the price of one NHE Certification. That's how lame ACE is. BEWARE of Fitness Together Gyms because everyone there is a second rate trainer who are a bunch of wannabees. I think she knew who NHE was but was just jealous because when I showed her the actual certificate, the first thing she said was it was a beautiful certificate compared to hers.

NHE Certification isn't better because their certtificate looks nicer or becuase they are more expensive. NHE Certification is better because people who possess a NHE Certification are typically more experienced, higher educated personal trainers. Newbies don't acquire an NHE Certification becuase of the price and becuase their exam's are so hard. New trainers typicaly go for ACE or AFAA or NESTA, etc. The hard core trainers possess an NHE Certification or an ACSM or CSCS certification.

That cost or how the certificate looks determines the quality of a certification program.

Karla Kramer

I would agree that many gym owners are not familiar with the latest programs but that doesn't make them second rate or their trainers second rate.
