Testimonials

“I have noticed that the quality of training that NPTI trainers receive is different than an on-line course. The trainers are well prepared and have also had some hands on training with clients, even before they graduate. I have had nothing but success with NPTI and will continue working with them whenever I am need of a great trainer.”— Betty Scarimbolo, Owner, Fitness Together Naperville North

“When I looked into becoming a personal 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.”— Stephen Ross, NPTI Graduate
