Nfpt

It is NFPT’s mission to lead the personal training industry, through quality education and credentialing, into a future of public and government respect, trust, and confidence. As a professional fitness organization, it is their intention to provide entry-level fitness trainers with the educational tools and health and fitness resources needed to develop and enhance performance skills for the safe and effective training of apparently healthy clients. NFPT offers both education and certification for fitness professionals. As an agency that offers a professional certification program, they will continue to establish quality standards for fitness professionals and encourage ongoing professional development through recertification requirements. NFPT educational programs are optional and are not a requirement to take the certification exam. NFPT’s educational offerings are developed by the NFPT Board of Education. The NFPT Board of Education acts independently to develop and/or review and approve quality fitness education that teaches fundamental fitness concepts and exercise science, explained in a comprehensive way that speaks to the entry-level trainer and fitness enthusiast alike. It is the intention of NFPT education to create an impact on understanding and implementing goal-oriented fitness training methods that gain positive results on the well being of health conscious individuals. The NFPT Certified Personal Trainer (CPT) certification program is designed to qualify personal fitness trainers working one-on-one with apparently healthy individuals or in small group settings. An apparently healthy individual includes those with no significant disease or physical condition or impairment which prevents them from engaging in physical fitness activity. NFPT Certified Trainers are individuals who demonstrate the understanding of fundamental exercise science principles for safe and effective fitness program design.
