About National Academy of Sports Medicine

The National Academy of Sports Medicine, or NASM, says that their Personal Trainer certifications have been the standard in certification, solutions, and tools in the fitness and sports medicine industries for more than 20 years.

How Does It Work?

People interested in becoming a Certified Personal Trainer, or CPT, can use one of the many different NASM training programs to get the necessary training, education, and skills to pass the personal trainer certification exam.

The available classes they offer come in a variety of formats, including completely online, “self study” which allows students to get the materials and then proceed at their own pace, or the option for self study in combination with in person workshops.

Once you have completed the course work, you must take and pass the certification exam. This exam must be taken within 180 days of signing up for the coursework, otherwise you’ll be required to pay a second fee for taking the exam. 

Cost/Price Plans

Currently the National Academy of Sports Medicine is offering a fourteen day long introductory trial of their coursework for free. 

The fourteen day free trial is for the CPT 4 Online Classroom courses, which costs $999, but is also appropriate for the CPT 4 Self Study, for $699. Users can also purchase the CPT 4 Self Study with Live Workshops, for $849, or the CPT 4 Associate Personal Trainer Experience with Jon Guaurantee, for just $1,999.
