National Academy of Sports MedicineReviews of nasm.org

I began my journey with NASM back in 2010, when I first completed my certification. Since then, I have completed many specializations and attained NASM Master Trainer. One of the great things about NASM is that the courses provide an in-depth review of the science and provide a solid and reliable training model to help with exercise programming. So, not only did the course help me help my clients reach their goals, but I was able to explain the science and answer all of my client's questions. Additionally, the variety of specialization options allowed me the opportunity to pursue continuing education courses that captured my interests and fit my client's various needs, from nutritional guidance to behavior change and corrective exercise. The NASM Certified Personal Trainer course and Corrective Exercise Specialization gave me the confidence to pursue a Master's degree in Exercise Science and eventually my doctorate. The NASM courses were so well respected that I even received some course credit from the university. I attribute much of my success to NASM and the evidence-based education I attained through them. If you are thinking of pursuing a career in health & fitness or wishing to further your existing career, I highly recommend them!

My experience with the NASM material is overwhelmingly positive! I use the template all the time. So many options to utilize based upon my clients' goals. It doesn't matter whether they want to lose weight, gain agility, or simply move more often. I have a resource to help me be a better trainer.

I have always loved NASM and the material they provide for fitness professionals like myself. I was recently locked out of my account (I forgot my password) and called customer service -which I was dreading based on previous comments I had seen. I wanted to leave this review because I had a great experience with the guy (Chris) who helped me. Thank you NASM (and Chris) for your patience and for the updates on the latest courses that have been released.

I have been involved (CPT + Multiple Specializations) with NASM for over 15 years. As a fitness manager at the time when I first took the test, it gave me something substantial to teach my staff. It created a better means of communication in addition to providing structure to the workouts of my own personal training clients. This systems-based methodology from Assessment to Exercise Program Design has helped me and every trainer I've had a chance to train with consistency and structure making results repeatable. This is the hardest thing for trainers to do.

I do not know where my fitness career would be without the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM). I became certified personal trainer (CPT) through them in 2005. I learned so much and my clientele got great results from using their Optimum Performance Training (OPT) periodization model program. As a result of NASM propelling my career, I decided to pursue other certifications and specializations. I now have their two certifications and multiple specilizations. NASM is cutting edge and stays abreast of the latest research. I will continue to use the OPT Model not only with my clientele, but with personal exercise program too. They keep a pulse on the trends but back it up with research. My clients like this and so do I! I highly recommend NASM!
