without getting too specific, NSCA and ACSM are a couple of the premier ones employers like to see. The NSCA-CSCS is awesome, but requires a 4 year degree (in anything) and LOTs of study time. The NCSA-CPT is what I have while in college and is still fairly demanding and well respected. I am not as familiar with ACSM certs, but do know they are top notch and take a lot of preperation also.
