    NASM is a total scam. A lot of their info is incorrect and at several points they contradict themselves. Its a total waste of money if I knew then what I know now I would have never bought the program. Its actually unbelievable to me that they are able to get away with this and considered the most popular CPT program around. The whole thing is a joke save your money and do anything else!

    I injured my back and am no longer able to do the functions of the courses I ordered. **************** was not helpful in processing a refund and I was told I could get one if medical conditions were a factor.

    ***************************** are complete scams! They have been taking my money for the last 6 months and come to find out I am unable to take any of the online exams because I do not possess an external camera! This was never mentioned in their contract OR in their email to prepare for the exam. They refuse to refund me because it has been more than **************************************** Leaving me with no money, no certificates and nothing to show for my months of wasted time. Complete scam and terrible company.

    Hello *****, We appreciate your feedback and would be happy to look into this situation. We want to ensure that each of our customers receives an excellent experience. When our members log in to their NASM accounts and select on the exam option within your online account, it will ask you which exam option you would prefer. The options are to take the exam in-person at your nearest testing center or remotely. We do require if testing remotely, that the computer you will use have a camera to ensure testing integrity. This is to ensure there is no-one else in the room with you and that you are not using outside test materials including the materials we provided due to our exam not being an open book test. Please call ****** Services to assist you further on scheduling in person. Thank you,NASM ****** Services

    I am NASM certified and I run a high end fitness facility. We have seen that trainers that possess and use the skills learned though the *** course (mainly progressions via the *** model) build a client base faster, retain clients longer and earn an average of 30k more per year than the trainers we have hired that don't have an NASM certification. In fact, most of the trainers that come in with out NASM, typically enroll in the course within the first year of employment with us, because the difference in training styles is that clear to them and our members.The nice part about this is that since we send so many trainers and instructors to NASM they now offer them incentives on certifications as well as CEU's as we set up a "club account". If you're trainers get it, they will do well in the industry.

    Love NASM! I've completed their CPT, CES, and PES courses and utilize tools and techniques from each of them in my training with clients. Their information is evidence-based, so I feel confident in what I am applying with clients. I've also had a couple of instances where I have had to work with customer service (both on the phone and through email) and, even if it took some time, it always led to a good outcome and great overall service. Overall, I've been happy with my experience with NASM and look forward to continuing to use their information and services to help my clients. I highly recommend NASM!

    I have been certified through NASM and AFAA. I enjoy their certification above all others because they really honor the integrity of educational instruction. They have a one stop shop with the club connect so you can get all the CEUs you need to recertify year after year but theyre also conscious of the price. They now have a lifetime certification fee.

    Every customer service experience I have had with NASM has been positive. When it comes to renewing my certification the online experience or phone calls have been easy and seamless. I am changing lives with my personal trainers license and they have helped stay current on my education and relevant in the industry.
