Personal Training
How do I Become A Personal Trainer?
There are many options for becoming a personal trainer, but not all are equal. Few people who enroll in an online course or study a book to take a certification exam actually complete, get certified, and are successful in their careers. If you want to be a great personal trainer, you should know the following:
- The program can be completed in as little as eight weeks (nineteen weeks for the evening schedule.)
- Every Guardian graduate has passed the NASM CPT exam on the first try.
- Every Guardian graduate has gotten a job as a trainer.
- Guardian uses the National Academy of Sports Medicine curriculum. NASM certification has a documented higher salary than other PT certifications.
- Guardian provides hands-on application for the concepts learned in class with sample clients at real gym settings.
- Guardian is the only school offering the NASM curriculum in Idaho.
