When it came to selecting the Certifying Agency for my CPT, I selected NASM. I have since obtained my Specializations in Fitness Nutrition and Mixed Martial Arts Conditioning. I have also obtained my GFI and Health Coach Certification from ACE (NASM does not currently offer these). When I first attempted to secure employment in the Fitness Industry, I found that my NASM credentials opened many doors of opportunity for me. I am about to start studying for my NASM CES.

Their program is very thorough, and geared towards safe, educated execution of movement for maximum muscular engagement and results. Many client concerns and body awareness scenarios are addressed, and the Program offers support to their instructors. I have attended many other live Barre classes by other companies in person, and cannot vouch for their safety or accessibility. This is such a well-thought out Program. It is so much more than just an online course!

I have 2 certificates from American barre technique (certified barre instructor and certified advanced barre instructor) and plan on enrolling in the level 3 master barre instructor course soon. They have other specialty barre courses too. Their courses are informative, easy-to-follow, and fun. I have learned so much and I am amazed with the results my students are getting and the results that I am getting from teaching it. I'm in the best shape of my life!

I got barre certified by American Barre Technique and my students LOVE the new class. I teach yoga and circuit classes, but the ABT barre class is always the most popular class. My classes are always jam-packed with women of all ages. It's so great to see young women and older women taking this challenging class together. It's so good for everyone, and I get a good workout while teaching it. Definitely American Barre Technique is the best barre certification. I have two kids and really wanted to understand what I was going to be teaching (because I have no dance or ballet experience). The ABT program was really helpful and informative. I felt so ready to teach my first class that I wasn't even nervous! I want to thank American Barre Technique for giving me the opportunity to become a knowledgeable barre instructor through their online program. Forever grateful and happy that I found ABT. I give my highest recommendation for their program!

The delivery was detailed, supportive and well thought through. The content was clear and concise and easy to follow - the ongoing link back to the structural assessments and biomechanic imbalances a client may experience further enhanced learning and understanding whilst progressing through each module. The learning opportunities were clearly outlined and the combined delivery of education through videos, theory and practical application allowed the greatest level of understanding. Thank you! I can see this additional skill benefiting my existing and potential new clients and my service offering overall.

I have multiple ACE certifications, Les Mills, Beachbody, and TRX, and can't believe I fell for this poor training opportunity for $200! I received a 20+ year old book about aquatic fitness, which is completed outdated compared to current science and acquatic training programs, and I also received a multiple choice test. In one afternoon I read through this very outdated book and answered to questions as I went along. I learned very little, paid a lot, and finally received a certificate that is not really worth anything. Shame on me for not doing better research into this training, and obviously, if you want to learn today's principles in aquatic fitness training and programs, I do not recommend ISFTA. I am signed up for another training program that is much more comprehensive and will ensure I learn how to teach a safe and effective aquatic fitness program for diverse populations.

One client in particular who has been training with me for years began experiencing knee pain recently, and we were unable to figure out the cause. Shortly after I completed this course, we both identified the cause and completely rectified her knee pain. I definitely would not have been able to help my client as effectively as I did without this training.

Let's be honest, most of us see the same mobility issues over and over again. This course gives you an organized way to approach your clients mobility issues from the feet up. There is a lot of stuff here and this is not an easy course but it may be the most worthwhile course you ever take.

You get hands-on learning as well as a thorough explanation of each lesson in the ACE booklet. each class is about 8-9 weeks long and covers different categories such as nutrition, intro in weight training, care & prevention of injuries, business and leadership, kinesiology, etc. Each professor has different training techniques and specializations, which let me form my own views on certain things. I am currently doing a self-study course for the NASM certification as well and this program has helped me a lot. The two certifications are kind of different on the material you are tested on and it is hard to study from a computer screen/book, but the classroom lectures made the book A LOTTTT easier to understand.

This program is very detailed with excellent explanations, visuals and applications! I was able to gain a thorough understanding of how our muscles are under or overworking, weak and/or tight as well as how to correct these issues to regain correct posture and function to eliminate pain!
Additionally, all of my correspondence with Mary was both profession, personal and timely!
TBMM is an excellent choice!
