NCEP was born out of the original Sports Club Company in Los Angeles.

NCEP was born out of the original Sports Club Company in Los Angeles. Michael DeMora, the Founder and President of NCEP was a Fitness Manager for the Sports Club Company, and eventually the Director of Education for the Spectrum Clubs Company, which branched out from the Sports Club Company. Mike created NCEP from his wealth of knowledge in the Fitness Industry and from his elite education with two masters degrees. What Makes Us Different: There are many significant difference between the National College of Exercise Professionals and other organizations. We are a Fitness Industry Education group dedicated to the most cutting edge exercise science often known as Functional Training. The best club companies in the Fitness Industry are embracing the Functional Training approach and we truly believe that our method takes it to an even higher level. Our proprietary approach is called Athletic Performance Enhancement, and we offer a variety of certifications and continuing education workshops. NCEP is accredited by the National Exercise Therapy Association National Board of Certification, and we work primarily with high end health club companies. We are a preferred certification and education provider for the Sports Club Company (owners and operators of the Sports Club/LA clubs across the country), the Oregon Athletic Clubs (an elite club chain in the Portland area), and the Honolulu Club (the finest club in the state of Hawaii). We've also worked closely with many other top national club companies including the Spectrum Clubs, Lifetime Fitness, Golds Gym and Fitness 19. Also, while many other certification companies are going increasingly online, we strongly believe in teaching our classes live and in person, because many people learn best with visual interaction and because fitness is a personal interaction. We maintain a low student to faculty ratio often under 15 students per class to offer a more conducive atmosphere to learn. What really makes us special is our staff dedicated to brining the students the most recent up to date infomation in an easily digestable manner. Another aspect about our curriculum that separates us from the other certifications in the industry is that we also teach professional skills including sales, five star service, and professional etiquette. Due to our extensive work with the Sports Club Company, we are uniquely qualified as an education provider of these critical components for a successful personal training program. We also believe in getting out into the communities and teaching our classes at the club level. Many certification companies are increasingly going on line, and while this is very convenient, it is our philosophy that the process of learning fitness is enhanced by personal interaction. While we are a smaller company than some of the certification mills in our industry, we are growing in our reputation and recognition. As we like to say "We're small but we're mighty" or as Shakespeare wrote, "Though she be but little, she is fierce." We work harder and smarter than our competition and we also offer a lower price and a much better value. Course Options: We offer a Standard Personal Training Certification as well as numerous specialty certifications, including Advanced Program Design, Functional Assessments, Functional Anatomy, Holistic Health Practitioner, Exercise Therapist, and our MMA Trainer certification. This program combines our Personal Training certification with MMA curriculum and graduates are certified as a Personal Trainer, a Strength and Conditioning Coach for MMA, and as an MMA Trainer (or Coach) for the sport. This program has been created in conjunction with Rainbow Warrior Martial Arts and it has been endorsed by the State of Hawaii MMA Commissioner and the United States Military. less

In July of 2012, I planned on getting my NASM certification until my friend recommended NCEP. I was very hesitant at first because I've never heard of the organization. Today, I am a certified Holistic Personal Trainer through NCEP and plan to get my certification in MMA training as well as Nutrition through them as well.

The concept of intertwining holistic fitness and lifestyle, functional training, and even attitude training all make sense to me and it absolutely gets my clients fired up when I explain to them what we stand for.

The best part of the NCEP community is the support provided by Adam and Mike (Founder / Co-Directors) outside of receiving the certification. They follow up with you constantly and are always willing to lend any help or assistance in each persons progress, growth, and career. I strongly recommend this certification, lifestyle, and organization to anybody interested in fitness and health. I personally am so excited to be a big part of their future growth and success.

I am currently an NCEP Certified Personal Trainer and will receive my Holistic Nutrition Certificate shortly. I checked into several other programs before a friend recommended NCEP to me. I appreciated the fact that I would be able to attend a class with other fitness professionals vice trying to do everything on line by myself. The price was reasonable. The curriculum seemed reputable. What a great decision!! What I received from NCEP was relevant, current, quality training. NCEP’s focus on a holistic, functional approach to exercise was directly in line with my own views. The class size allowed students to interact with one another which enhanced our training. I value the community of NCEP trainers that I can call upon as resources. I highly recommend this training.

Definitely a life changing and worth while experience. Having completed the NCEP - Rainbow Warrior Martial Arts MMA Trainer Certification Program I really feel empowered and confident in my abilities as a Personal Trainer. The information and experience was invaluable, this was a great foundation and first into the world of Health and Fitness. Although it was a lot of information to grasp in a short amount of time, I didn't feel overwhelmed at any point. Incorporating the Personal Training class and MMA Trainer into one curriculum makes the experience even more empowering as I was able to see how the functional training directly relates to the sport. Even after the program was over I still keep in touch with NCEP. They truly care about the product they produce. The only short coming is that there aren't more events on the east coast! Without a doubt I recommend highly this program for anyone who wants to learn more about the sport of MMA, personal training certification, and network with some amazing individuals!

I am currently a NCEP Certified Personal Trainer and Holistic Nutrition Consultant. I got both my certifications last year and I love this program. My career as a trainer has been moving forward in a great way. I'm doing what I love and that's changing lives. NCEP offers a great program in both personal training and holistic nutrition. I would highly recommend all who are considering becoming a trainer to get certified with NCEP. The staff continues to be great mentors and supportive ans I build my career in the fitness industry!
