UPDATE: NASM Named a 2010 Military Friendly School by G.I. Jobs

The National Academy of Sport Medicine (NASM) salutes the brave men and women who serve in the United States Armed Forces.

We are also pleased to announce that the industry-leading NASM Certified Personal Trainer (CPT) certification is now recognized by the Department of Veterans Affairs as an approved education program.

In addition, NASM offers special military pricing – 20 percent off – on the NASM CPT to active service members interested in:

  • Pursuing health and fitness education while serving in the military; or
  • Starting a new career as a health and fitness professional after leaving the military.

Dependents and spouses of active military members are also eligible to take advantage of this program.
