Personal Training
The National Academy of Sports Medicine, Idaho Athletic Club, Anytime Fitness, and Guardian College have partnered to offer the only NASM campus based training program in the Northwest. This program was developed for those wanting to enter a career in the fitness field as a Certified Personal Trainer.
Critical Training Differences
There are on-line training options for Personal Fitness Training; however, they provide little if any hands-on instruction in a field that is nothing but hands on. For those serious about earning a living as a professional in this competitive field, a certified, on-site program has no substitute. The NASM/Guardian program is approximately 10 weeks in length on a full-time basis (days) or 19 weeks on a part-time basis (evenings). Courses include: a Foundation in the Science of Fitness, Nutrition, Client Development and Preparation for the NASM Certified Personal Trainer exam. The NASM CPT Certification is the most widely recognized credential for Professional Personal Trainers in the country.
Having been the owner of a medically-based performance enhancement center, NASM conditioning paradigm served as the model for my staff and was instrumental in the overall success and sale of my company. Now, working directly with the public health aspects of exercise, I am thrilled that NASM chose to join in developing the first National Physical Activity Plan for the United States. From injury prevention and performance enhancement, to increasing the American population’s level of physical activity by way of societal and policy change, NASM is committed to improving the lives of others. I’m honored to be certified by and affiliated with NASM.
