I super recommend the Trainer Academy material !!! Initially I wanted to be certified by ISSA, as it is a more general certification with easy understanding of the subject. I bought the package and I did not regret the answers of the ISSA study guide helped me, all the material in general is incredible! Now I decided to take NASM certification and I will buy the most complete package MVP because I know it is worth the investment!!

I regularly utilized the NASM study materials while driving. Prepared for the exam with about five weeks time and passed. The practice exams were more difficult than the NASM website practice exams...which I really appreciated. Also, having chapter summary notes already made to compare to my own we’re so helpful. Different approaches to learning are included, so if you’re more visual you have that to your disposal. Or if you’re an auditory learner, etc. In conclusion, it was worth the cost to pass.

Thanks Ryan for the kind words. We are so glad that you found the study materials, such as the audio study material, to be so beneficial and allowed you to prepare for the exam so much faster than if you had only used the NASM program materials. Congratulations on passing!

Many exams provide you with an immense amount of resources. Though they are helpful and very educational, they can be overwhelming while studying. The Trainer Academy was very helpful in creating a study plan, providing succinct and informative material, and giving me a more comprehensive understanding of everything! I refer back to my Trainer Academy materials often!

I achieved my CSCS with help from Trainer academy. I appreciated the assistance I received from trainer academy, as I am a very audible person. Having the audio files as well as practice quizzes to supplement the textbook readings was very helpful. I attribute much of my preparedness to the course and thank TA for presenting that as an option.

The ISSA MVP was a game changer. It shortened my learning time, increased my retention of material and helped with my test anxiety. It is worth it.
