I'm familiar with the area and have family down there. Once I get my certification I'll come visit them for a week or so and apply at nearby gyms.

And ACE isn't exactly a sure fire bet. It's the lowest rung of the ladder for certs. Getting the best cert you can insures you have more and better info starting out. That knowledge base can give you something solid to start clients with.

That's something that confuses me. One forum tells me ACE is the best way to go, then another tells me it's low, then another guy that runs his own business says ACE is one of the highest recognized.
I'm without of doubt going to eventually continue my education, with this said meaning after a year or two I'm going to get a certification through another highly recognized organization. I plan on running my own business in about ten years or so.

No experience, low quality cert, few gyms in town....hmmm. Maybe rethink your strategy?

Ah, you have a point. But I mean I can't help that I have no zero experience so far, I mean weren't we all now experienced at one point? I'll check nearby gyms - running from the place I mentioned all the way to Knoxville which is a 25 mile radius.
