I've looked and I've ask so now I'm turning the question to you guys - How do I go about becoming a fitness instructor or getting the correct licensing here? I used to instruct yoga, step aerobics, water aerobics, and kickboxing but the state or employer didn't require anything specific.  4951

Gold standards are ACE, AFFA, NASM and ACSM- they are all accredited. If you are new to the industry try and find an experienced instructor to mentor with. I've been in the industry for 18 years -BA in Psychology and 3 certs with ACE- Group Fitness, Personal Trainer and Advanced Fitness Professional. It's important to get a nationally recognized base cert and then get a mento Or further education and practice practice practice!! 4951
