Do not purchase. I purchased and many of the tests have wrong answers. I reported the questions and they have not been correct. I purchased one month and asked to cancel less than a week later. I am still waiting for the refund.

The website and program is riddled with typos and errors. After 2 months the system locked me out saying I didn't have an account with my email. When I contacted 2 days later, I had already been charged an additional month. They verified my account, gave me new sign in information and initially refused my refund. After continuous prompting, the representative pushed it through to someone else to possibly issue me a refund. I did end up receiving my refund from the second representative.

Was a great study resource. It helped me developed mnemonics to remember key points, and I used some of the stuff to create my own linking-story's in my head to memorize important areas of focus! Was so happy to confidently pass my proctored exam on the first try thanks to Trainer Academy!

I initially failed my NASM CPT when I tried to study on my own. Using Trainer Academy changed everything...the different memorization techniques they used help immensely. I passed with flying colors the second go around and I cannot recommend this program enough.

I loved everything about the product minus the mnemonics. Just wasn't my thing, but I do like that they are accessible for people who can ustalize them. My favorite was the flash cards. I was able to study on the go with my phone.

All the study guide materials were exactly what I needed to help better remember many of the concepts. Just reading the book I was overwhelmed but the tools here helped me remember them and learn them..I was able to confidently pass my exam my first go.
