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!

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!

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.

To have what I’ve never had before, I had to do what I’ve never done before. I started with NFPT certification and it helped me to gain the confidence to start my own personal training business. Thank you, NFPT, for giving me the foundation to build on!
