What makes NASM different?
Streamlined and Interactive Learning Platform
This isn't your average "science" course. This NCCA-accredited certification uses a "edutainment" learning method, making the course enjoyable, simple, and available to everyone aspiring to become a personal trainer.
The Latest Training Strategies and How to Apply Them
Don’t be taught outdated information! These courses use the most accurate and up-to-date science to teach you how to implement what you learn into real-world situations.
Master Accurate, Effective Client Assessments
Assessing, instead of guessing, is critical to successfully training a client. By understanding where the issues in their body are, you can then begin to figure out how to properly address underlying problems that could prevent them from reaching their end fitness goals.
Learn the Art of Behavior Change
Having a plan for your future personal trainer career is great, but knowing how to convince your clients to stick to it is even better. That’s where behavior change comes in. Within the course, you’ll learn the keys to helping people alter behaviors that prevent them from becoming the ultimate version of themselves.
