What Others are Saying...

Morgan S.

Exercise Physiologist

"Aaron did an amazing job prepping me for my NASM CPT...The course allowed me to implement what I was learning in my classes into real life scenarios and gave me experience that allowed me to practice what I needed for the exam and my jobs".

Tamlen D.

Student

"I am extremely grateful to Aaron High. Opportunities to learn from the best don't come often, so I took it as soon as I was able. I was a basic gym rat before the course, but after I had the confidence to help my friends, family, and eventually clients of my own achieve their fitness goals. I highly recommend this course."

Cameron M.

Student

The NASM prep course made learning how to be a personal trainer much easier and far more enjoyable than just studying by myself. Having an experienced and accomplished trainer like Aaron teach the course, made the process just that much more enjoyable, and everything easier to understand" Now that I am a personal trainer, I know that wouldn't have been nearly as prepared without this prep course".

Kyle C.

Rehab Technician

"The NASM Prep Course taught me how to train and write programs for clients that want to achieve their own goals. What I took from this course allowed me to feel comfortable training clients new to working out".
