I am wondering if it would be possible to get a worthwhile personal training certification in about 3 1/2 months, from a reputable certification agency. I am a university teacher (computer science) and next summer I will not be teaching, by choice, for the first time in many years. So I am thinking, maybe that summer would be a good time to pursue my interest in fitness personal training. Does anyone know if I could do it in this time period? Also I remember reading what the "top three" certification agencies were somewhere in the forums - but now the only one I recall, I think, is ACSM. Does anyone recall what the other two were, or have their own recommendations? My "dream" for when I quit teaching would be to do personal training, especially with seniors who need extra help in this area. I would love to hear what others have to say about all this. Thank you in advance.
