Personal Trainer Certification Course - Hybrid (Virtual lectures + In-person practical skills labs)

The in-person practical skill labs each week allow you to role-play and review essential “hands-on skills” to master assessing clients, stretching, warm-ups/cool-downs, exercise analysis and programming design.
The course includes the national test vouchers ($450 value) and extra access to our online video-enhanced CPT course to review lectures and labs at no extra cost! W.I.T.S. 30-hour optional employer internship (Level 2 Certification) helps walk you into jobs that very much value our unique certification. We are all about your success and the tools we give you will help you reach that goal.
