I wanted to take a moment and tell you how excited we are to have NPTI at Epicenter Seattle. The quality of education that your students are receiving from NPTI far exceeds any other program that we have been involved with. You have been an inspiration to not only your students but also our team who sees the high level of professionalism you display with your program.
As you know, we have hired several of your students and without exception; they are better prepared and better educated than other employees we have hired with National Certifications. Keep up the great work and thank you for being a part of The Epicenter.
I would highly recommend the National Personal Training Institute (NPTI). NPTI is a great choice for prospective students looking for certification, but also to potential employers. As a District Fitness Manager with over seven years of hiring and training trainers, I have been impressed not only with the knowledge base of the NPTI graduates, but also that of their instructor Nate.
As a hiring manager it makes great sense to hire the students, they have already shown great dedication in working towards a certification that takes six months. I recently hired eight of the students for my Everett, WA location. All of the students have been well prepared in aspects of functional training, special populations, and creative exercise design.
Having had the chance to work directly with Nate over the past three months I have been impressed with his passion and motivation towards exercise. Nate takes his job very seriously, this shows not only in the energy and effort he displays while teaching, but also in his continued follow up and interest in his students that have graduated already.
I would highly recommend NPTI to prospective students and employers.
I really want to thank you and the class for coming out, overseas, to Redmond to visit the club. I can’t tell you how much fun it was to feel the energy and enthusiasm from everyone. I would like to invite you back next quarter and hopefully we can make this a regular field trip for the class. Heck, I think I might have found a personal trainer of out this
When I first came to NPTI, I had spent very little time in a formal gym setting or with any formal exercise education. Most of my information in this area was from what I had read in a few books and magazines, or seen on TV. After my own personal experiences in this field, both successes and failures, and those of people I had worked with in the past, I knew this was something that I was becoming passionate about, and that I wanted to learn more. I spent awhile browsing online programs and ultimately discovered NPTI. After doing some more research, I decided to enroll and see what the course could do for me. I credit this as one of the best decisions of my life.
But, it was not only Nate that impressed me, but the course itself. I was surprised at how in depth the course went into the mechanics of the body and movement. I knew I would be learning the fundaments of exercise and program design, but I did not how in-depth we would truly be going. I was also surprised at how much I learned about nutrition and the energy systems of the body. I really feel now like I have a very good understanding or how the body works, something I couldn’t have said before taking the course.
Probably the most unique and educational aspect of the course was the client simulations. The simulations really prepare you for being a trainer. Having the opportunity to train other students, and to be trained at the same time, really lets you get comfortable with all of the aspects of training from inside and out. You are also encouraged to develop your own training style, and to really define yourself and the trainer you will become.
Before this class, I was not very comfortable in a gym setting. Now, thanks to everything I have learned, you can put me anywhere from a million dollar facility to an empty city park, and I can develop a program and train individuals with what is at hand. I am also now comfortable with the prospect of working with just about any individual, from athletes to the disabled. If you are considering attending this course, do it. You will not regret it.
I believe the six months I spent training to be a personal trainer have prepared me to work with clients and help them achieve their fitness goals. Nate did a fabulous job making the lectures interesting, and they were full of valuable information. There is no replacement for the hands-on experience that NPTI provides
We studied anatomy, physiology and nutrition in great detail and took weekly tests. We took the theories from the classroom setting straight into a professional gym where we worked with real people with their various goals, physical problems, and abilities.
Last week while on a break at work, a gym member asked me if I was professionally trained, and very curious to know my background. He said he wished all the trainers went through a course like NPTI. He also said he would pay more for a trainer who graduated from NPTI.
NPTI has given me such an advantage over my peers. The level of confidence gained from practical application is invaluable. I work with new graduates from an exercise science program at a local state university and they are blown away at my knowledge level! I enjoyed your passion as an educator and I wish you continued success.
The NPTI program exceeded my expectations and prepared me to have an immediate impact on my client’s lives. The instructor is a dynamic individual whose passion for this industry is infectious. Complex information was broken down into manageable parts and the information was presented with incredible organization. Discussion was guided with the freedom to express ideas.
I will be successful in this industry because I attending NPTI and received quality instruction from a mentor who consistently proved that he cared about my education.
It was the practical experience, the focus on anatomy, and the overview on nutrition of the NPTI program that caught my eye when researching Personal Training Schools. If I was going to throw myself into my second career I wanted to do it with a “top of the line” program. My six months with NPTI, gave me much more than I had imagined it would.
Like any excellent schooling, one gets what one puts in to it. My NPTI instructor gave information in an easy to learn, professional manner. He was knowledgeable, approachable, and always willing to help, which applauds both the instructors and the NPTI program.
I went in to the program an amateur “gym-rat” and I graduated a “pro”! But, like any successful person, this is just the first step toward a new career. I feel confident that I can take what I have learned with NPTI and build on that knowledge to help me launch my own Personal Training studio. So far…so gooood!
This class was very engaging. I haven’t been in a class environment in a very long time, but I fit right in and had a blast! I felt respected even though, at times, I didn’t always understand the material – I didn’t feel left behind once. Nate took the time to explain his classes and never had a problem with answering my many questions as articulate and intelligently as possible. I always felt like we had the same goal in mind: my success and graduation - One of the best teachers I’ve ever had.
This class is truly an inspiration and gave me the tools I need for an exciting career in physical fitness! Not to mention I’m in the best shape of my life now.
Thanks Nate, I won’t forget how much you helped me achieve my goals!
