Great company that provides excellent service. I utilized their study materials for the CSCS exam and found them to be helpful resources; however, I did not pass the exam on my first attempt. I notified the company and they honored their pass guaranteed for the package I purchased and refunded me. I highly recommend this company as a study resource for your fitness exam needs.

Hey Christian, I am glad you enjoyed the CSCS study materials, and sorry to hear you didn't pass on your first try. I hope the second try went better. Good luck in your future endeavors and your career in fitness!

This course was amazing! They had such good material, especially the study guide with the questions answered. I definitely would have struggled to pass without it, and I went in feeling the actual CSCS test was easier compared to their practice tests. 5/5

At first I was skeptical about this being enough to provide me with what I needed to pass the exam. At some points I️t felt harder than I️t needed to be. However, that being said. The program definitely over prepares you. That way I was super confident when the test questions felt easier than the practice questions. And maybe its better that I was over prepared because its allowed me to become a even better trainer. Oh, and yes I passed my exam. I am now ACSM-Certified.

I failed my exam twice before I bought the course from Trainer Academy. After I bought the course I started to look at all the notes more seriously because everything that was written out made it very easy to read and understand. I really hate the self-study guide that NASM had because it was just a couple of exams and a textbook. I didn't really understand anything. This course had a whole breakdown of what the words mean which really helped me understand what was I reading. I would recommend anyone that is trying to take the NASM exam to purchase this so you'll have a better understanding of all the words and you'll have a better chance of passing!!!
