Program Details

First, we'll give you the resources to tackle the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM)'s CPT exam.

Using online videos, presentations, quizzes, readings, and interactive activities, you'll master personal training fundamentals, including human movement science, fitness assessments, program design, nutrition, and more. You'll also gain teaching, customer service, first aid, organizational, and communication skills that will prime you for success.

Next, you'll tackle the curriculum for the Athletics and Fitness Association of America (AFAA)'s GFI certification and learn how to design a well-structured and balanced fitness class for a diverse group of participants that is both safe and effective.

This program includes exam preparation materials and exam fee vouchers for both NASM-CPT and AFAA-GFI certifications. In both cases, you'll need to schedule your exam dates at a PSI testing center once you complete the courses and meet the necessary eligibility requirements.
