Everyone Started Where You Are Today

“The NFPT Certified Personal Trainer program is my recommended certification for entry level trainers to pursue. What makes NFPT different is how effective it is in giving trainers a good foundation of knowledge in an easy-to-understand format without overwhelming them. Beyond certification, NFPT gives trainers an amazing-yet-cost effective platform to grow and expand their expertise. ”

“I started personal training more recently but it didn’t take long to know that being a personal trainer is what I want to do with my life! I had the pleasure of working directly with (NFPT founder) Ron (Clark) and I learned so much that I knew I could put it to work. Getting certified was the next step. I know now that it’s possible to take my passion and make it a career — because I’m doing it! Thank you, NFPT!”

Daniel M.

NFPT Certified Trainer

“Being a personal trainer has been the most rewarding career choice I’ve ever made. After 25 years of acting and entertainment, I met a personal trainer with NFPT; his knowledge was amazing. I investigated the many associations but none of them offered what the NFPT did. I feel blessed to be a part of such a committed organization!”

“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.”
