The NASM certification program was challenging, but the course provided excellent instructional material that prepared me well for the exam. The program was organized in an intuitive format, and the online interface was easy to navigate throughout the entire process. The additional study resources, especially the flash cards and practice exams, were extremely valuable and played a crucial role in helping me understand the material and successfully pass the certification exam. Overall, I had a very positive experience and would recommend NASM to anyone serious about pursuing a personal training certification.

l've been really impressed with the NASM program. The curriculum is incredibly comprehensive, blending the latest exercise science with practical program design. It provides the perfect foundation for anyone looking to build a successful career in fitness, especially with the shift toward online coaching and digital training platforms.

Easy transparent

Format was easy to use and material was organized well. I'd personally like to see more explanation around the topic of muscle imbalance. It is an important part of the material and there didn't seem to be much clarity on why a certain overactive/underactive muscle would cause the symptom(s). Also, I'd like to see time given to discuss the Carbohydrate-Insulin hypothesis for obesity. This is a credible theory and challenges the Energy Balance model with studies to back it.

I had all the information, I wish I could have downloaded the book for the personal trainer

The course is great and it changed my life. I will value this forever! That being said the course could have better images to explain the anatomy portion a lot better. The interactive 3D models are cool but not very helpful and difficult to view small muscles. In addition the website seemed to be glitchy and I experienced so many interruptions while studying. Overall great course, but there is always room for improvement.

Absolutely an incredible experience! I have been a boxing coach for a very long time and have always wanted to get certified as a personal trainer. Cannot recommend this program enough. It took me 4 months of study, and then I passed the exam. I have been referring a lot of my coaches to this system as well.

It was amazing
