Hi Emoore,

I'm also currently taking my first ever cert with NASM right now. IMO, I don't think it's too important that you have a degree in Kinesiology although it may help. I believe that practical experience counts for a lot more compared to schooling. If I were you, I would probably just take more "applied" courses or certs than get another degree.

Now, I'm new to all this too so this is just my view at the moment. Unless you have your sights set on a job that requires the degree then go for it. But, I'm doing this for business and a career not just to get another j.o.b.

Hope this helps!
