IPTA - International Personal Trainer AcademyReviews of traineracademy.org

I cannot believe that I was scammed like this. The information in the study guide is either incorrect. Everything is out of order their entire sections that are obviously important to a CPT that are completely left out. This is really expensive and it’s a scam. From what I’m reading other people of had the same issue that I have and they have not gotten a refund. I’m going to do everything I can to report those to consumer agencies.

The information in the ACE MVP package contains inaccurate information in multiple areas, whether it was the flash cards or the study guide or the practice quiz/tests. What they provide would be awesome for studying if we could actually trust it was correct. I emailed Trainer Academy 4 times in the past 2 weeks kindly informing them of their errors and asking for a refund, however, they have not responded. If Trainer Academy is reading this right now please respond and I will update this review. Thank you!

Excellent and thorough documentation and exam prep.

The good: This program helped me pass the exam, which was the primary end goal. It was helpful to be pointed in the right direction with regard to what portions of the ACE exam I would need to focus on, since there are a couple pretty large textbooks. The bad: The program is very poorly proofread, if not un-proofread entirely. The flashcards feature has the potential to be the most helpful part of this academy, but unfortunately whoever authored the flashcards has the absolute worst spelling I have ever seen. It looked like it was thrown together in a hurry at 3am. Additionally, aside from being riddled with spelling and punctuation errors, I verified a handful of flashcards that were simply teaching incorrect information, and numerous quizzes with the correct answer being called incorrect, and a wrong answer being called correct. As you can imagine, discovering that the program you spent a large chunk of money on in order to pass a challenging exam has flaws in its own information made me pretty nervous about how effective of a study tool it was. Was I even studying correct curriculum or being mislead? Overall the academy did what it was supposed to do, and in the end I passed the exam with a 749 out of possible 800. I just wish the program was a little more polished and reliable in its content. I spent almost as much time correcting errors in the academy's content as I did studying.

Very useful information and very detailed. There is so much information that it can be a little stressing

I found myself really struggling with the study material at first, NASM left it too broad on what was important and what wasn’t. Trainer academy really narrowed down what I needed to study and gave me the ability to pass

The MVP package was worth every penny. I don't think i would have passed on my first attempt without it.

I absolutely benefited from this program! It helped me stay on task and learn the material in a well organized way. I’m very happy with my purchase. Thanks!
