There's also ACE and AFAA:

http://www.acefitness.org

http://www.afaa.com

ACE's program will give you a better foundation of the fundamentals of
exercise physiology, etc. than AFAA, but AFAA makes up for it by giving
you a better foundation on how to actually lead a class and demonstrate
exercises.

Find out what certification the clubs in your area tend to favor when
they hire new instructors, and shoot for that cert first.
