In this comprehensive review and exam preparation course, we will build upon the knowledge and skills gained in the previous four courses of the Personal Fitness Trainer Program. As aspiring fitness professionals, you have already completed courses on getting started in the field, anatomy, physiology, kinesiology, understanding fitness programming, and nutrition and weight management.
Throughout this course, we will focus on reviewing and reinforcing the key concepts covered in the previous courses, ensuring a solid understanding of the foundations required by the fitness industry to become a Personal Fitness Trainer.
In addition to refreshing your knowledge, this course will specifically prepare you for the certification exam by covering the essential topics, relevant material, and exam-specific criteria to pass your certification exam.
By the end of this course, you will feel confident and well-prepared to tackle the certification exam while affirming your knowledge and skills in the following topics:
• The state of the industry and the fitness professional
• Anatomy, physiology, and kinesiology
• Fitness programming
• Nutrition strategies
Note: To be successful in this course, you will need to have completed the first four courses in the Personal Fitness Trainer Professional Certificate.
Prior to taking your NASM Personal Fitness Trainer certification exam and working with clients, it is required to earn and maintain a CPR/AED certification. If you do not hold a CPR/AED certification, NASM offers one that you can take fully online (more information in the reading below). It should be noted that this course from NASM does not provide hands-on skills checks, which may be a requirement for some employers. It is therefore important for the fitness professional to check all of the hiring requirements of a prospective employer to ensure they have everything they need to be hired.

Click the link in the reading below to navigate to NASM.org to take your official NASM Personal Fitness Trainer certification exam. Before you can access the link, you must attest to the completion of your CPR/AED certification.
For 34 years, the National Academy of Sports Medicine has been world-renowned for the quality of our personal trainers and the scientific rigor of our program. NASM offers an online Certified Personal Training program as well as NASM specializations to take your personal training skills to a whole new level.

When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?
To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
What will I get if I subscribe to this Certificate?
When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Certificate, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
