100% agree. Call the gyms around you, find the ones hiring and then ask them which certs they accept. From that list pick the cheapest and fastest cert to get. Most people doing the hiring don't care too much which cert you have, and neither will your clients. The main reason you have to hold a cert is for insurance purposes.

I would also check because most of the chain gyms will give you 6 months from hire date to become certified. So you can get hired, make a bit of money and use that money to buy your cert.

Good Luck, working in a chain gym doesn't have to be as bad as its often made out to be. I have spent all of my time working for them and still really enjoy what I do.
