Amazing school, well worth the money spent. I would fat more trust the worst NPTI trainer over the best trainer from any other certification.
Greats teachers that know how to nurture a classroom environment.

I'm so thankful I had the opportunity to study at NPTI in Orlando. It is without a doubt the best school and teachers I've ever attended and met. Their dedication, knowledge, Chris's enthusiasm, patience and way of teaching is impressive and inspiring. His ability to meet every student at their level, treat them with respect, always taking the time to answer every question, and the fact that he managed to make every single class fun and interesting, are some of the reasons why I'll be going back for the advanced class at NPTI. If your thinking about studying for personal training, this is the school

I tried to take NASM courses first, and was unable to keep up with their curriculum, so I decided to attend NPTI Orlando for the hands on education and applied science. I'm currently attending, I graduate in May and definitely feel like I made the right decision! I have learned so much about personal training that will help me in the future! NPTI Orlando has diverse teaching strategies to cater to all students needs, and is much better than reading from a book and not understanding the information.
