The study guide was easy to follow and understand. It went right along with the text book, and helped me retain the information from each chapter. I was able to pass my NASM exam after just a couple months of studying.

Hey Chris, thanks for the review! It's wonderful that you passed your exam and the study program helped make the textbook easy to follow and digest. Good luck with your personal training.

The thing I found about the Trainer Academy NASM CPT-7 study program that makes it so much better than most other programs out there is that the materials are designed to ensure that you have a thorough understanding of the exam material. It’s not a program that promotes short-cuts and doesn’t suggest that you only focus your studies on specific things. And I found this to be extremely important when I sat for the exam (and passed on my first try). The reason it’s crucial to really UNDERSTAND the concepts is because the questions on the actual exam are often worded completely differently from the NASM practice tests and the other study tools available. If you don’t really understand the concepts, you may have a really hard time when questions are presented on the exam. The Trainer Academy program is thorough and authentic to the test and I really appreciated that.

I passed my exam THE FIRST TIME after using Trainer Academy. Signing up with them was one of the best decisions for prepping for my CPT exam. Their robust set of materials, and the way their guides were laid out, made studying so much easier and gave me the confidence for the exam. I would highly recommend Trainer Academy!
