What our participants say
I always loves to challenge my limits. In 2017, I had two painful lower back fractures and a rotator cuff injury during my preparation for my bodybuilding and men’s physique competitions. It made me eager to learn more on how to keep training my best in every training session while staying injury free. Searching online for the best personal trainer certificate that teaches the science behind training our body and how to keep improving without injuries, I found NASM CPT which taught me how to train different body types and various conditions with proven scientific methods. Through Facebook, I found PFC Studio provided NASM CPT and after the live workshop from master trainer Jeremy Ng and his team, I have a better understanding on the courses and it has helped me a lot in passing the tough final exam . I’m thankful for master trainer Jeremy and the PFC team that helped clarify all my questions and even though I asked a lot, you all still helped answer my questions clearly. I feel satisfied completing NASM CPT but I know learning never ends and I will definitely keep coming back to learn more at PFC Studio.
I think it is a very good course. I’ve learned pretty much a lot of things. The one I was most interested in was the foam rolling, strength training, and hypertrophy training. NASM is going to really benefit me and bring me to the next level when I’m going to compete. I’m going to incorporate this knowledge on myself and also on all my clients. Overall the course is really really beneficial and if you guys are looking into any fitness cert and also other training courses, NASM is what you’re going to look at.
The live workshop gave me a very good overview of what NASM is and made studying a lot much easier. Without the live workshop, you might not understand what is going on when you study the materials. It [the live workshop] definitely helped me to pass the exam and I would definitely recommend if you’re trying to take NASM Certified Personal Trainer (CPT) exam, come for the live workshop. It’ll definitely increase your rate of success.
