Personal Training Certificate
New 10-week course starts in January
“If you love going to the gym… learning new exercises… and have thought about becoming a personal trainer, then this course is for you.”
Have you ever thought about a career as a personal trainer? Or starting a “side hustle” teaching exercise classes at the fitness center or gym?
Are you passionate about health and fitness? Do you love spending time in the gym… learning new exercises… trying different workouts?
If so, get certified… with our 10-week Personal Training certificate course. The whole focus of this program is to prepare you to pass the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) certification exam in the allotted two-and-a-half-hour time. Your $349 fee for this exam is included with your program cost.
Preparing for the 150-question exam on your own can be challenging. Why not let our expert professor guide you through the complex concepts? The instructor will be there to clarify the detailed section on kinesiology… answer your questions on physiology… and help you master all the material, so you are in the best position to pass the exam.
During this 10-week Personal Training course, students will gain an increased level of competence with:
- A core focus on body sciences – anatomy, physiology and kinesiology
- Nutrition
- Personal trainer certification preparation
- Client intake and assessment, fitness screening and design of personal fitness programs
- Motivational techniques, goal setting and long-term sustainability of health habits
All subjects covered by the ACSM exam
