Dedicated instructors: Rod Porter and Matthew Cain are extremely professional, it will blow your mind. I have not experienced better classroom environment than at the Miramar college in my 10 years academic career. These guys are passionate about their job and personal training by implementing various techniques into classroom. We had many experts who were brought into the classroom for the better learning. Thumbs up for these instructors!!! If you really want to learn how to be THE REAL PERSONAL TRAINER WITH THE RIGHT ATTITUDE do not hesitate to sign up! Loved the program and highly recommend to all future professionals!

In this program we covered so many topics, including lectures, kinesiology, nutrition and special populations. The program focuses on hands-on skills, assessments, creating exercise programs, and working in groups. There is also work at outside facilities focused on teamwork, such as, running, hiking and rock climbing. All of the professors are also very professional and provide a lot of support, which I found super helpful. You won't regret it if you enroll in this program!

I had plenty of time to learn everything, practice, ask questions, get feedback, and feel prepared. I wish I picked the ABT course before making the mistake of doing the worthless 1 day live course.
Take it from me, I went through the hoops, and now I know. Go with the American Barre Technique online certification. It really is the best program.

An excellent program that gets you a certification right upon completion unlike many that are just a basic prep course. Highly recommended, hands on and a practical experience that can be applied throughout your career.

The BioMechanics Method (TBMM)
Great program! Justin Price really knows what he is talking about. I found it very useful and learnt a lot about anatomy and biomechanics in general.

They are affordable and just what i needed for the time being. Note, they are not accredited although they are nationally recognized. Do not set high expectations if you are trying to get hired as a personal trainer at a gym. These are def. entry level certifications that will work for you if you are starting your own personal training business, opening your own gym, starting a bootcamp and it might even work with local small gyms.

I printed off all my manuals and refer to them often. My clients love the additional 'vocabulary' to their routines and I think this is a staple for every trainer who seeks longevity in the industry - personal training isn't just about your physical sessions, it's about the homework and subsequent recovery outside of them and TBMM really helped me instil that into my client base. Looking forward to Level 2 already.

I am an ACE Health Coach since 2016 and was an CPT by ACE & NSCA in Asia. I moved to NYC and I am just starting from a scratch again.Action CPT helps people like me who has the experience but just starting up again. I think other certification are really going over pricing for me.

Very professional from start to finish. I love the way the program was broken into 5 Modules that each had their own test. I've taken other certifications that were not so well organized. This made it much easier to concentrate on one area and really learn it. I was able to start using the knowledge with my Pilates and arthritis classes while I was taking the training. I'm very excited to start using the entire program - including the "working with clients" portion with my personal training clients as I build my business. And Mary was a great help with technical support when I called them directly. Thank you.

The BioMechanics Method (TBMM)
I've found this course extremely valuable in helping my clients address their postural problems and reduce associated pain. This is an excellent course not only for fitness trainers, but also for anyone teaching movement: dance teachers, martial arts instructors, etc.

The course creators, Justin Price and Mary Bratcher, make all of the highly technical aspects of corrective exercise so easy to understand. In the videos, Justin shows you step by step how to apply the techniques on actual clients. And he has a great sense of humor, which not only keeps you engaged but also gives you many ideas to steal for your own clientele. Every second is carefully orchestrated--there is absolutely no fluff. The text and forms are indispensable. What I especially appreciate about TBMM is that it is taught by a personal trainer, who knows exactly what you need to know for personal training. Alternatives to TBMM are often taught by a physical therapist or an orthopedic surgeon, who are very educated/qualified but do not actually do corrective exercise day in and day out the same way an IDEA International Personal Trainer of the Year does.

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.

Finding the time to complete the course was hard, but American barre technique made life so much easier for me by giving plenty of time to complete it.

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!
