Personal Training Educational Program

Students who successfully complete the six courses as listed under ‘Course Descriptions’ are awarded the ‘Certified Personal Training Specialist’ (CPTS) certificate of course completion. Having passed these courses, individuals have gone the distance to establish their competency in personal training; and their CPTS credential documents that they are not just ‘certified’ but rather truly ‘qualified’.

Fitness Institute personal trainer candidates must demonstrate, through both written and practical testing, a greater knowledge base and skill level than any other personal trainer certification available today. Therefore, the Institute’s personal training specialist certificate (CPTS) has developed the reputation as being the most “legally defensible” personal trainer credential in the fitness industry.

The uniqueness of the Institute’s personal training program lies in the fact that it bridges the academic theory and extensive instruction as found in university courses with substantial practical training and realistic experience found only within fitness facilities. For this reason, the Institute provides the obvious training ground for not only the most knowledgeable and highly skilled personal trainers in the industry but also for those trainers commanding the highest client fees.

A national media legal commentator from the Washington, DC area who is frequently featured on MSNBC, CNN and Fox News, Georgia H. Goslee, JD, CPTS stated: “As a counselor of Sports Law, having been previously certified by ACSM and NSCA, I conduct seminars for health club owners, fitness instructors and personal trainers on how to insulate themselves from and reduce their exposure to lawsuits. In order for certifications to be defensible, candidates must be held to rigorous standards in both written and practical testing. Therefore, the students having gone through this ACSM & NSCA preparation program are the most legally defensible trainers on the market today.”
