THE TOP CHOICE FOR TRAINERS AROUND THE WORLD
The NASM® Certified Personal Trainer, NASM-CPT, is the most sought after personal trainer certification in the industry. Our certification sets the standard in fitness, requiring a comprehensive knowledge of human movement science, functional assessment, and program design. In addition to our NASM-CPT, we offer a progressive career track with advanced specializations and continuing education courses - which keep our personal trainers at the top of their game.
“I would highly recommend all trainers seeking a professional certification to look no further than NASM®. It is my foundational certification that has set an amazing ground work for all the other methods of training I currently have.”
Joe Drake, NASM-CPT
