“I've been a certified personal trainer through NFPT since 2009. At the time I didn't realize that personal training was "my calling" or my next career so I wasn't comfortable with spending a ton of money to get certified compared to some of the big certification companies. Also at that time, I needed something that was convenient with my schedule when it came to studying for the exam. Fortunately, NFPT offers a great foundation to become a personal trainer. The company is true to their word and are not only affordable but have flexible options for preparing for your personal training exam that can fit your schedule. I've been fortunate to have run my own gym, publish articles, and continue my personal training business which all started with the initial certification through NFPT. Thank you NFPT for helping me get not only started but also continue to offer CEC's and other great services.”
“I started my career in fitness 17 years ago with NFPT Personal Trainer Certification. And since then I've been able to regularly and easily gain new insights and maintain my certification. Great organization from my experience.”
