Working in a gym is in the near future. I'd be happy with 20 an hour just to get me through school to physical therapy.

You act like 20 an hour is slave wage. That's good pay even here in canada. The cert doesn't mean much to be honest, it's all about the mind behind the cert. Anybody can read a book and pass a test on it. Apparently not everybody can use critical thinking skills to apply knowledge based in fact and science.

Also you better have some stellar marks, here MPT programs are sometimes more competitive than MD programs

from what I'm told, a commercial gym doesn't really care about what kind of cert you have, as long as you have one. with that said, the gym may have specific requirements.


Check out the NSCA or ACSM certs. Much cheaper and are held as the "gold standard" for certifications.
