ISSA was my first certification. I can say I learned a lot reading all the material they provide. Doing the exam (writing 6 essays, each one based on a specific topic) was a challenge, but it made me think and process the information more than just memorizing.

Doing the exam (writing 6 essays, each one based on a specific topic) was a challenge, but it made me think and process the information more than just memorizing. Even though there are some gyms that don't accept ISSA as a valid certification (because the exam can be done at your home with an open book), I would recommend to take the course if you want a course that includes more info related to muscle mechanic and nutrition.

National Council on Strength and Fitness (NCSF)
NCSF is an organization that provides a good, thorough program. They offer a program that ensures you know a great deal about industry. The material can be tricky, but if you are taking the program in a class, you should be able to follow along just fine.

I got my certification from ASFA some years back as it was expensive paying for certification from other bodies. It okay as long as you are in the fitness industry and you stay up to date by reading books. If other bodies want us to join them, they should bring down their fee. Well done ASFA

It's training isn't JUST about learning exercises and memorizing levels and orders of exercises. They really get to the heart of HOW to be a TEACHER. How to communicate the method to your clients and students. There are a LOT of training programs out there that teach you about the history and origins and classical system of Pilates, but Peak is the ONLY program I've found that teaches to the TEACHER in all of us! They also require you put in the time. This is not a crash course, one weekend workshop. You have to work and it takes time. There are no short cuts to becoming a certified Pilates instructor. I like how they have roots in the classical style too. Amazing teachers and supportive community too!

Excellent and thorough materials. Take the time to truly learn it. It takes practice, but the guidance through the course with video and text is superb.

Job: Graduate student, fitness instructor on the side
Review Level 1: Level 1 was wonderful--lots of instructors, lots of basic poses to go through. The class focused on safety. Most students had been taking yoga for a while and so the class went well.
Review Level 2: Focus was communication. Level 2 was good especially how to give verbal adjustments and how to look to bad poses. Reviewing the yamas and niyamas was good bc the other instructors had insightful comments. The best part was learning how to teach to visual, auditory and kinesthetic learners.
Review Level 3: Focus was on the self. Some new material taught including the chakras and some advanced poses like crow. Best part was for some of us who don't believe in chakras, Yogafit is accepting of all views. Exceptional part was physical adjustments--we learned many but I only use the ones for final relaxation.

I was in constant chronic pain & felt like such a fraud while training my clients & telling them that they need to listen to & look after their bodies.
I tried everything I could to regain back my movement but to no avail. I started to think that this is how I was going to feel for the rest of my life & I started to wonder how other people with chronic pain coped for years with their infliction. I scoured for courses in Australia to help me to learn more about chronic conditions, but had to go out on a wider scope. That is when I came across TBMM...
It was easy to understand, informative & most importantly it worked! I am pain free & have already helped many clients to overcome & take control of their own malalignment issues. Word is spreading like wildfire! This is definatley a course that will revolutionise the way that you train clients & increase your business!

Finally, NASM delivered. There's no regrets about my decision to take PES and I feel more confident now in my fitness career that I could help more people with the knowledge I gained from NASM and be one of the best fitness pros in the market. Thanks NASM, you ROCK!

The program now consists of 600 hours of education including 350 hours in the classroom consisting of anatomy and physiology, nutrition, fitness programing, legal considerations, business concepts, fitness assessments and more. In addition the other 250 hours are spent on practical application in a fitness facility, 50 of which is a required internship outside of the regular class time. The material presented includes theories from NPTI, NSCA, and NASM. Upon graduation you Diploma in Personal Training, a Diploma in Nutrition, and CPR/AED certification. In addition each student is also eligible to sit for the NASM CPT exam.
After attending this program I was absolutely ready to hit the ground running. My classmates and I are in high demand by many of the corporate fitness facilities in the area. About half of my graduating class had jobs ready to go prior to graduation. The ones who didn't were the ones who didn't want to go to work right away.
The instructors are amazing and I can't thank them enough for the education.
