IPTA - International Personal Trainer AcademyReviews of traineracademy.org

I originally got the Trainer Academy to help pass my NASM CNC test. It was so valuable that I also purchased it for my CPT test and studying. With my package, I was given audio reviews of each chapter that were extremely helpful, as well as practice tests that were based on information taken from the NASM CNC test. There were study guides that were extremely helpful, and quizzes that allowed me to solidify the information I needed to know. I also received study flashcards and mnemonics to help with remembering key information and phrases. Knowing that I had Trainer Academy there to prep for the test also gave me a comfort level that I believe helped with the actual taking of the test! I passed my test the first time I took it with a score of 87%!

I have not taken the exam just yet, but the study material has been super helpful! It goes into great depth and has helped me understand the material very well!

Trainer Academy was worth every penny! Trainer Academy provides excellent flash cards, mnemonics, study guides, audio recordings, practice quizzes and exams for a reasonable rate. I felt more than prepared to guide and direct the areas of my post-grad certification study. A critique that I have is that there are study guides for Personal Training as opposed to Group Exercise Instruction dynamics. There are interrelations, of course, but it would have been cool if there were an ACSM-GEI study guide but my graduate and undergraduate textbooks, ACSM Textbook for Group Fitness Instructors from the official ACSM website along with Trainer Academy study packages compensated for sure! ACSM-CPT study package goes into very precise detail and I respect that Trainer Academy helps navigate through all my recollections from Anatomy & Physiology, Kinesiology, Biomechanics, Exercise Physiology, Psychology, Sociology, Biochemistry, and more! I am happy to say that I earned my ACSM-GEI certification and I am eternally grateful for the impact of Trainer Academy. Thank You!

It has been super helpful to have practice quizzes at such great length that are separated by subject on the CSCS exam to help me figure out which parts I need more focus on throughout the study process for this lengthy exam

Overall pretty good. The information was great but the format was not user friendly if you aren’t on a laptop or iPad. Audio files had to be accessed through the website which made it hard to use while driving - a time I most needed them. The flash card app is great but the answers aren’t very in depth. It would be nice to have explanations to the answers when you complete the quizzes as the references weren’t helpful. Also, a section on how to solve all the equations would be great as that was hit hard on both parts of the exam.

I really enjoyed how easy it was to access all study materials. There are so many options and tools that will work for everyone. I loved the practice tests.

Terrible customer service, the "guides" are literally just recommendations and they things they list to practice aren't always there. It took them 3 weeks to reply and that's even upon my following up to answer a simple question and that's after it was diverted to another "team member". The product isn't what they claim and also it's more frustrating the customer service is terrible. They will try and disprove you and make you at fault. Read the terms, they will throw them at you EVEN if they are wrong.

I really liked the domain quizzes because it helped me know what topics to testify and this package has a lot of resources to help you study and remember the material.
