"...When I looked into becoming a professional trainer, I quickly learned there are many ways to become qualified, but only NPTI offered both the technical, classroom education AND the practical learning experience by having to train fellow students or instructors. I realized this type of education would help me be more marketable to employers and, sure enough, I landed my first Personal Trainer's position while still attending my classes at NPTI. All's it took was for a Fitness Director to visit NPTI's website and see the curriculum of your program and I was asked to come on as a Trainer while I completed the program.

My former instructors, Chris Mendonca and Kristen Ouellette, are serious, compassionate and dedicated fitness professionals who know how to balance the technical material with practical application. They not only instilled a valuable education on which I rely, but they did it with a sense of caring, and at times humor, for which I will be forever grateful and thankful."
