Personal Trainers are health and fitness professionals who perform individualized assessments and design safe, effective, and individualized exercise and conditioning programs. NASM-CPTs will be prepared to design exercise and conditioning programs that are scientifically valid and based on clinical evidence. 51Թ can provide guidance to help clients achieve their personal health, fitness and performance goals via the implementation of exercise programs and suggested lifestyle modifications.
By incorporating insights from leading sports performance professionals, researchers, and trainers, NASM tutors assisted in developing a wealth of user-friendly content, exercise technique videos, and updated scientific research in the topics discussed in the NASM courses.

The NASM-CPT is the main personal trainer exam. Once earning this, personal trainers can earn additional specialization certifications in corrective exercise or sports performance training. Before beginning NASM test prep, candidates should determine how they can best use their time and energy to feel prepared for the exam. After you pass the exam, you can be your own boss, set your own hours, and work in your gym clothes. Best of all, have the job security of working in a growing industry.
The systematic approach for designing exercise programs, taught during a NASM course, can help anyone reach their fitness goals from beginners to professional athletes. Personal trainers who complete the NASM test prep often earn more than their peers. This is not surprising considering employers agree that NASM-CPTs are better prepared to start their fitness career, noted in the results of a study conducted by MarketLab.
