Thanks to Trainer Academy, I was able to be well prepared for my ACSM personal training exam. The website offered various amounts of tools to utilize that followed alongside with my book and separate side points. The package was well worth the money spent and a staple in my preparation.

Trainer Academy was a very useful tool in my review before I took the NASM Personal Trainer Certification final exam. I had studied the NASM book and practice test fully before I picked up Trainer Acadamy for my review. The practice test questions from Trainer Academy were harder than NASM’s practice test and I feel this further helped me to prepare for my final exam. Thanks!!

If anything these study materials left me OVERprepared for the exam. I was nervous going into it, and once it was over I couldn't believe how easy it seemed. Definitely all thanks to these study materials. I seriously cannot recommend this enough.

The study materials provided plenty of ways to learn the NASM CPT course. The study materials were easy to use and they helped me remember the information, which is why I passed the exam on my first try. There were some typos on the mnemonics, but it was nothing major.

Trainer Academy was extremely helpful. I came across them while searching for material to help me because I had previously taken the ISSA Personal Trainer Course in 2015 and I was struggling with the material for the exam. When I decided to take the Personal Trainer Exam again in 2020, I discovered Trainer Academy. The study material of Trainer Academy was geared toward Personal Trainers to pass their ISSA exam. I used their flash cards and practice exams. I passed my ISSA exam and am extremely grateful to Trainer Academy for helping me achieve my dreams of working in the fitness industry.

This study guide really helped me focus on what was going to be on the test! The NASM textbook is massive the amount of material within it is overwhelming. I highly suggest utilizing the study guide!! I also found the audio guide extremely helpful, they were great to listen to on the go. The mnemonics did not work for me but that might be due to my learning style. The only thing that would have been helpful to me is if the Mnemonics we’re not contained within the audio guide. I don’t think I would’ve passed the test the first time without it.
